I'm usually not interested in "royalty" at all, but it feels wrong that we have no thread to discuss this first-rate gossip here. So here it is.

All I’ve heard is “we just want to be private and live authentically” as they voluntarily vault themselves into the top headline by working with Oprah and touring their $14.5 million home.

It was straight innuendo, nothing more. They went out of their way to give the impression that the royal family is just peachy, it's THE
BARGEMACHINE.Utter bollocks. Who do you think runs that organization? The bad news may be delivered by the minions but it comes from the top.

Admit it, Jon, you'd hit it.

I keep hearing that for a couple that made the case that they wanted out of the limelight Oprah is one hell of a way to express that.

Harry has repeatedly demonstrated that he is not the sharpest knife in the Windsor/Mountbatten drawer. Nevertheless he was brought up as royalty and intimately knows that life, creepy as it is. Meghan on the other hand and like Harry's deceased mother, was not born into royalty and had absolutely no idea what the life of a royal let alone a low ranking royal would be like. The fact that she was of foreign birth is minimal being that royals often marry royals from continental dynasties as bloodline and rank rather than nationality are the qualifiers.
This whole spectacle is really no different than virtually every other morganatic marriage that has occurred in House of Windsor since Queen Victoria. It is a public mess. What makes this one unique is that the Princess of Sussex is very good at self promotion and Harry, like his uncle Andrew, doesn't really know any better.

Piers Morgan was scathing in his take on the interview.

Yeah, his take is like mine on steroids.
I think where I end up is that what the couple wants is for the royal family to resume financing them. Or else.
It's got all the trappings of a shakedown to avoid bad publicity - unnamed villains (not the royal family though, we haven't started trashing them much - yet), insensitivity to rather incredible mental health issues and racism.

Favorability toward the monarchy is the thing to watch. So far it is pretty overwhelmingly positive- pre Oprah.

The queen seems like a nice girl, but I don't follow the royals very much.
But somehow I knew about the Oprah interview
They have failed to avoid the limelight

Until I read that I was pretty anti-H&M.
If they gave out medals for being a complete twat, Piers would have a Victoria Cross.

Incidentally, here's some pictures of people that Piers did like...
All of them, except for Ghislaine Maxwell, went to prison for sex offences. Three of them for sex offences with children.
So fuck Piers Morgan and his prognostications. Sorry, pontifications. Prognostications would mean he could see into the future, which you've really got to assume that he can't, based on those pics.

A great judge of character did the interview:
Which goes to show that you can find a photo of almost any celebrity with almost any reprehensible person.
