Oh, wow! I didn't think the Queen or Phillip/their courtiers would even feel the need to deny it, but I guess they did. William and Charles must really be feeling the pressure.

Oh, oops, I see it was Oprah who put that out there. Interesting.

No, the Queen didn't deny this.

This was Oprah's clarification, "at Harry's request".

I read that the interview was actually done at Gayle King's house.

I think she came across badly when she said she had done no research on TRF, British history of TRF, or the British press. It came across as being disinterested about the whole thing and then complaining when it doesn't turn out to be just like "being a celebrity" in the U.S. Like, why wouldn't she watch the Princess Diana interviews, at least?

Yes, she accepted the title without knowing or accepting what the job would entail? I feel for her on many levels but find it unbelievable that she could have done NO research before going into this, as she claimed.

This is why Harry's previous girlfriends - British society types - wouldn't marry him. They knew enough to avoid being trapped in the royal fish bowl. Was Harry not completely honest with Meghan before they got married?

And poor Harry - he has so many unresolved issues, and his whole life he's tried to run away. Going to Afghanistan - twice. Marrying Meghan, a biracial American. Now moving to the US. I worry about him.

+1. His exes came from mega wealthy families, ran in the same circles as Harry and William, and knew exactly what was in store. Kate knew too. MM pretty much went in blind, thinking she'd snagged a handsome, rich prince...

He may be a rich prince, but handsome he isn’t.

If he was old enough to school they would have refused to pay for it.

This is bullshit. Archie is the great grandchild of the Monarch. No great grandchildren have princely titles. That is how it is. When they become grandchildren of the monarch - when Charles ascends to the throne - they will get security.

Exactly.

Careful what you say about us, because you won't like what we can say about you. I saw one poster wrote that M & H will stay on path they are on for so long as they can and then if that well dries up, we'll see a mending of royal family relationship. Sounds about right.

Yes. She wanted to be First Lady of the Commonwealth/Di 2.0/People's Princess with him as consort and doing his Invictus Game thing. Without actual titles etc they now need to reposition as the alt-royalty narrative. I think she would like to be Oprah, perhaps politics. Again with him as consort. She seems to have a great sense of herself as a feminist, BiPOC, woke spokesperson and wants to ride that wave? I think he would happily continue with very British invictus games/elephant conservation type charities--but is going to have to fasten his seat belt and get on board with her plans. There's a lot of ambition there.

Did anyone else crack up when they said, "We would have taken New Zealand, or Togo, or.." Oh Lord! What must the people there think? So tone-deaf.

I mean people with taste already do.

+1 This is nothing new, really backyard furniture is a novelty?

Maybe. Or they could blame some minor royal like Princess Michael of Kent who is a known racist anyway.

His mother's death, his toxic family history has been the foundation, and now coupled with his wife telling the world how much pain her marriage to him has caused her, and indirectly their son, probably is overwhelming him with guilt.

He should be the one on suicide watch.

I had the same thoughts.

His disposition tells me he’s on medication. I’m sure they’re both in therapy, too.

I’m not crazy about the narrative that they wouldnt get security and therefore were unsafe. They weren’t going to be GIFTED free security paid for by the crown and taxpayers. Of course they could have paid for their own security just like every other non-royal celebrity or globally prominent person does. Being without security was not actually going to happen. And no, they do not need extra security due to the kid being 1/4 black. I mean even Taylor Swift gets death threats FFS.

I think this really gets at the crux of the issue: the BRF as an institution is full of absurd contradictions and Catch-22's.

Taylor Swift pays for her own security because she's worked, made a ton of money, and is famous BECAUSE of her work. Harry/Meghan were not allowed to work or have a career unless they formally left the institution. Meanwhile, they and their son have very real security needs. Which were further amplified when the UK media started playing up the racist tropes in their headlines.

Another catch-22: why is a great-grandkid cut out of security when they are a child....but then gets the security once Charles becomes king? That's absurd. That child needs protection. Period. What an insane and illogical set of circumstances.

Finally, look at how miserable Philip/Anne/etc are in their lives. They have to go to their mother for money because they are not allowed to work. That's exactly what Harry/Meghan are trying to avoid - a life where they have to constantly ask William for money and live on the taxpayer dole until they die. The entire institution is preposterously outdated. If folks don't want them to be beholden to the largess of the taxpayer, they need to be able to establish a career. Harry is coming upon age 40 and has only another 10-20 to have a legitimate career. He's actually running out of time, hence why they forced the issue and moved.

Toxic, racist media environment constantly attacking your wife and child. No ability to work or make money. No future prospects or ability to pursue ambitions. And, finally, no one seriously considering mental health concerns.

Would you stick around?

I would have thought about that ahead of time and certainly not had a showy wedding and a carriage ride if I wanted no part of it all.

NP. The whole thing comes off as ridiculous. She was a D-list actress who didn’t know about the cruelty of the paparazzi? She married a guy whose mother was basically killed by the paparazzi. She never googled her husband? One of the most famous eligible bachelors in the world? The one who was dumped several times because those girlfriends didn’t want the responsibility of being part of the Royal family? There have been freakin books written about how complicated and suffocating being in the family is. Come on, who in the world would believe this drivel. The whole nonsense about the baby being too dark- yeah right, sure, when the dad is a ginger with skin that blends in with snow. The whole thing with Middleton is also nuts, the press was trying to find shit on Kate for years before her marriage and all they could come up with she’s really nice and once wore a bikini for a fundraiser.

She’s a grifter and he’s a jealous idiot. He rushed to get married to make himself relevant since Granny wasn’t having his shenanigans with hookers and swastikas and watching his older brother marry and settle down. Marriages in Hollywood don’t last, everyone is playing a role until the role gets boring.

Harry is not having long discussions about his in-utero baby's place in the family with a third cousin who happens to be a nazi officer's daughter.
