I’m pretty indifferent to both sides but you can’t ignore the hate and vitriol Meghan has faced today on social media, it’s actually disgusting how people have spoken about her and how they’ve felt about the situation they are in. Beggars belief

I’ve always loved Harry. The poor lad lost his mum in a horrendous way and then had to walk behind her coffin and keep that stiff upper lip.
After his ‘wild’ days as a student and then in the army, I’ve always liked how down to earth he is. He appears to be a guy you could meet down the pub and have a pint with whilst playing pool or something.
I don’t know a lot about Meghan but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is racism and other dodgy stuff going on, the RF has not caught up with modern times.
I hope they can find peace and move on without too much of a rift. They have said they won’t stand down, just step back and that should be respected. Harry didn’t exactly ask to be born into royalty!

He's got a history of poor views expressed in terms of mental health.

The Royal Family's fairy tale image was shattered, when Pricess Diana died. They were exposed for the completely out of touch, unfeeling people they really are.

I was initially confused about this too but I think their explanation is that it was never about running away into the wilderness, never to be seen again. I thought they were moving to Canada for more privacy but it was actually for them to still work under the commonwealth - when things didn’t improve, they packed it all in and moved to LA. They still want to use their platforms (and obviously make money now that Harry has been cut off) but under their own terms. Now they can say what they want to say and they can’t be silenced.

What are they doing that's very public? The interview? I think they are entitled to share their side of the story - so are the RF (I doubt they will though). At the end of the day, Harry is a prince and he will never have a "normal" life. The press are always going to be interested. I know some mention that other royals like Edward have quietly gotten on with things but he was never a major royal to begin with (imo, anyway). I think they understand that they will never have complete privacy and are happy to engage with the press when it makes sense and is fair, but they're asking for the intrusion to stop.

Also Phillip has looked on the brink of death for as long as I can remember (is that too far?). No matter when they aired the interview, even if he hadn’t had his op the past week, haters would’ve said ‘how could they do this to Harry’s frail grandparents!’ It was pre-recorded and probably out of their hands when it was broadcast so for people to make out like they intentionally wanted to divert attention from Phillips ill-health is just a weak argument.

I have reached a decision, I am not going to watch the interview tonight - I have the programme on record. I may watch it, when the dust settles, then I can formulate my own opinion about what is being said. People are way to over emotional at the moment.

Nope. Don’t agree with this at all.

All this does is excuse racists for their racist views.

He, as a senior Royal with his wife the reigning figure head of state over many Commonwealth nations, had/has a duty to be more considered in his views. Why should any nation accept rule from bigots and racists?

Doubtless he’s had ample opportunity to learn and educate himself. His views have long been repulsive, not just now when he’s 99.

Cant remember if I read it on here (apologies if it’s already been said) or on twitter but Kate and William are meant to be mental health advocates. I’m assuming they were aware of how low Meghan was during her pregnancy. For them to parade round, pretending they care while not even bothering to help their own sister in law, the mother of their nephew, is disgusting. We all know Kate is the preferred royal - she would’ve more likely been listened to if she put in a word about getting Meghan some help to deal with it all but she didn’t bother. Instead she was part of the problem. I used to think she was kind and professional but nope, she really will do anything to save her own back. I can’t believe she’s going to be the queen one day.

This is also strange to me, how emotional people are over it especially on the other threads and different platforms. Perhaps it's something that I'm just not getting or I'm not that invested into the royal family as such, but I'm not sure why I should be upset because Harry left the Royal family because of that pesky Meghan

Can someone explain to me why people are saying this interview is "going to kill Phillip off"??? Sorry but if finding out his son is an "alleged" p word hasn't made him ill already I don't think this will?

Honestly don’t think anything can kill Phillip off at this point. He’s immortal

the RF has not caught up with modern times.
I pointed this out and a lot of people on the other thread seemed to disagree with me. Apparently having connections to at least one family member who isn't British and white automatically means they're not racist
But it is true, older people who grew up in less 'politically correct' times are more likely to have outdated views, and even then a lot of the royals probably grew up around that and still hold views that are racists in most subtle ways (still racism, chances are a lot of people would just let it fly though).
Honestly I didn't realise how out of reality some upper-middle class (and those above them) people are until I went to Durham to study. A lot of people don't feel comfortable challenging stuff that isn't outwardly racist, and the people themselves are unlikely to have friends who are minorities or different cultures to call them out on it either. The RF doesn't seem to interact much outside their social bubble, so no one to really correct them or talk to them about it.
I wouldn't be surprised if their main education on this stuff is 'don't say it to the public, just keep it in the family' because really, how is some PR guy going to tell their superior that they can't say those things at all?

Nobody asked for my opinion but i’m going to chime it in anyway.
I do think Meghan has had it awful and has been portrayed as public enemy number 1 truthfully. I think Piers Morgan is a rancid arsehole who clearly has a deep hatred for women somewhere (as demonstrated from his treatment of MM and a million more people).

I also don’t understand why anyone gives a fuck that Harry has abdicated. His position didn’t matter. He wasn’t going to be king.

I dunno how anyone can justify the conversations about how black her baby will be, why would anyone need to have that coversation? Harry has really been saying hes not for the royal family with his chest for many moons now. Why are people arsed.

Oops I spelt too wrong.
 
I bet what pisses Charles off even more is that even Princess Diana till this day is and was and forever be the better parent than he ever was. Even before her death, she set her kids up for their future. It’s like she saw the possible future. Harry was able to break away with the help of his mother!!
She is forever missed...
