Good afternoon fellow Tattlers,
since a lot of you are interested in the international reactions to Meghan's and Harry's interview, I decided to post a summary of a long article in one of the premier German tabloids (Gala), that I read yesterday at the doctor's.
First I want to say, that the covering of Meghan and Harry has been nearly completely positive by the German tabloids, so I was positively surprised what I read:
The article started with the Queen. It stated that the Queen is worried sick about Prince Philip's health (Gala is a monthly tabloid, so the information is not up to date) and that the interview came at a really bad time. The journalist wrote, that the Queen was so stressed because of Prince Philip's health and the antics of Meghan and Harry, that she had to buy herself some corgi-puppies for her mental health.
Then they had different paragraphs, where they stated the main statements of the two in normal print and in cursive what the writer of the article thought about their claims.
Since you all know by heart, what the two claimed, I will just write down the opinion of the journalist:
-The author of the article does not believe, that senior courtiers denied Meghan help, when she asked for help because of her suicidal thoughts. Additionally, the journalist thinks, that Meghan should have asked the Queen, because she claimed to be so close to her.
-Prince Charles probably stopped taking Prince Harry's calls, because Harry wore his father's patience thin.
-The author thinks, that Prince Harry violated his brother's/father's boundaries, when he claimed they were trapped. He can say that for himself, but not for others
-Princess Diana would be horrified, that Prince Harry has fallen out with his brother
-The author thinks Meghan's claim of not googling the Royal Family/Prince Harry is not credible for such a strong feminist
-The only time where the article is pro Meghan is when the journalist states, that "racism is wrong" but regarding Meghan's claim that Archie was not a prince because he is mixed race he writes that according to the rules of King Edward he would not be entitled to this style until Charles is king
The article is rounded off with a big box titled "Meghan Markle: Angle or Devil?" where the allegations of staff-bullying (with a photo of Jason Knauf) and allegations regarding the earrings of the Saudi Prince (another photo of her wearing the earrings in Australia) are written about.
Also there is a big photo of Wallis Simpson wearing a dress similar to her interview-dress is shown and the author writes, that she paid tribute to Wallis Simpson with the dress she wore.
