Anyone else just get the vibe that the Sussexes team are just not great at reading the room, in particular understanding the British public’s sentiment towards celebs and royals? It’s like they just dont get it. They might be smart at striking a deal with Netflix and other US corporations but I think they are clueless at reading the public. They probably thought their statement sounded sassy and clapping back would go down well. Instead it just sounded corporate, antagonistic and had no humility. The only people loving it on twitter are the usual crowd of woke worriers that turn everything into a battle about class/race/politics. Megan can be used as handy vehicle to pour their usual scorn on how awful the British proles are and how they all need re-education and shouldn’t be allowed to vote or read tabloids, because only metropolitan elites know how things should be done.
the British public hate people that are twats. The press will go for you if you’re a twit. if the British public are endeared to you, then you’ll get a reasonably easy ride. It’s not difficult to see that Hollywood diva behaviour was going to go down like a lead balloon with the public especially during a pandemic when people arent going to be that sympathetic to two rich people moaning about privacy.
Most people would have sat down tonight and saw the BBC news and agreed with every word Nicholas Whichall said, which will have team sussex frothing as its another narrative they can’t control.
lets be honest the Oprah interview will cause a bit of froth then people will lose interest. Meghan is a narcissist, it’ll be all about how she feels and her dreams. People will get bored of that tit unless she spills major tea which would be perilous and could invoke a backlash which again she cant control.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Buckingham Palace are on the phone to Boris encouraging him to announce lockdown lifting the night it airs... no one will give a duck about the interview as we‘ll all be planning meets up with our family and friends!
