It’s also a sad picture. A man of fortune and privilege who had so much respect on the world stage is here...running through obstacle courses with a comedian. Also selling out tidbits on his famous family to make money.

Something about this just doesn’t sit right.

Same and same. It was excellent, well-thought-out, perfectly executed PR. Harry was always fun and funny, and it was indeed great to see that again. But the vibe is weird. Of course Harry is going to get homesick in a matter of time, and of course the relationship with his brother -- and perhaps especially Kate -- has been deeply damaged by this Instagram influencer nonsense behavior. And the pretense of their charity work via Santa Barbara mansion - come on. James Corden and Oprah are both manipulators in their own way. I don't know. But ugh.

I wonder if all of you concerned about Harry being homesick, in a different country, and separated from his family and friends expressed the same appreciation for Meghan when she was in the same situation.

People had a lot of love and empathy for Meghan and Harry until they decided to make a visit with rape victims all about them and their hardships. Their Oprah interview better involve some serious revelations because people will be well and truly done with them in this time of pandemic and so much loss if they are just going to have another pitty party.

Why do you think this? My family caused me great stress and I moved far away and I have never been homesick. And I still love and talk to them, but the distance has actually made it possible to not fully walk away.

I feel like a weirdly disproportionate number of Meghan and Harry haters have no idea what it is like to crave freedom from the chains of your childhood. People who had good childhoods have a hard time understanding what it’s like to have not had that. Trust me, I don’t think Harry will ever be homesick. He may miss England on occasion, and he can visit! But he’ll never go back to being a working royal, even if he and MM split up one day. He has been i over this life since his mother died.

You are not watching the same royal family documentaries that I am. Princess Margaret wanted a different life so she married a photographer and hung out with his bohemian friends. Once their marriage was over, she retreated back to her artistocratic circle of friends. I would bet the same will happen to Harry. He also said that he hasn't walked away, but just stepped back. He's leaving the door open to going back.

What does Margaret have to do with Harry other than both being the spares? She made extremely different choices than Harry. He’s doing what she never could. He’s separating for real. I doubt he Will ever walk away from being Prince Harry to go live in total privacy. But I’d bet a lot of money he never succumbs to living under the watchful eyes of the rota ever again

I wish I knew you IRL, because I would bet a friendly wager that he will go back to England to live.

Has he no loyalty to blood and country? I mean who is he really getting back at and at what cost and to what ends?

You mean loyalty to the blood and country that called his 3-day old son a monkey and harassed his wife from the moment it became clear they were dating?

No. His loyalty as he stated is to his wife, his firstborn son, and his child to be. And to the grandma and grandpa that he loves who sent a waffle maker for Christmas.

I loved the interview. It was fun and light hearted. It is the kind of fun escapism I need right now. Well Done!!

I loved the interview. I didn’t like how she had to push into it though. I think what comes across is that he is a really really nice guy who cares about his country and is totally in love. They have to work on her pr though because I am still getting the “I don’t love him” vibe. Hope I am wrong.

When did she do this?

Meghan has only gained and got everything she wanted. One day Harry will realize this and we will have to see how he reacts.

Only thing he gave up was his country. The only future is for the actual heir. The spares don’t even seem to get properties anymore. Just leases. Andrew is a spare and what future do his girls have? None of them will be working royals and will have to have a job to maintain their lifestyle. Same with all the other spares’ kids. Their future is the same as anyone else from a wealthy family. Except Harry and Meghan will likely have more money to leave their children than the previous generation of spares will.

Harry basically asked for a leave of absence from the family business and his family fired him professionally and personally. Can’t blame Meghan for that.

Not blaming Meghan. Just stating fact. Harry gave up more than Meghan has. He gave up his country and he also gave up his family. His children won't know their cousins like he and William did. And the history. He is one of a rare families and he gave it all up. Sure, spares weren't treated well but, I think once Prince Charles is king things could have been better.

Meghan was initially willing to give up all of those things too to live with him and the BRF. She gave it a try but a combination of forces made that unhealthy for both Meghan and Harry and the could see the writing on the wall for their children.

Look, I don’t know any of these people personally and neither does anyone else on this board so we have only what we see in the press to form our opinions. I don’t have anything against the royals, but you don’t have to be a psychologist to see that there is both good and bad to the ways that Buckingham Palace has handled things over the decades. I understand that they don’t want to look undignified or give up any of the mystique that makes people pay special attention to their causes and good works. I really admire a lot that they have done. But most of them were not raised in a typical loving atmosphere by emotionally attentive parents and it shows. Their emotional constipation has cost them a great deal over the years and they’ve never known how to handle people who marry in from the outside. I thought they might have learned more from Diana’s death but they didn’t.

Most of us think about things we didn’t like about the way we were parented and try to do something different with our own kids. H & M probably aren’t any different in that respect. The main difference is that we don’t do it on the world stage and our families don’t have teams of staff members butting in, undermining the family dynamics for their own purposes, spreading stories about us in the press etc.

I have no idea what any of these people are actually like but I feel sorry for Harry that they wouldn’t meet him halfway. In addition to making the family dynamic a lot worse for no good reason it was really short sighted from a PR perspective. Imagine how much better the royals would have looked if they had made it clear that they would not tolerate treating a family member that badly or if they had spoken out against the awful racism the press was reflecting. It’s a sad waste in so many ways.

No, I didn’t. Because Meghan was already living in Canada, not the US; Meghan specifically told friends she was shopping around for a British husband; Harry said Meghan would hit the ground running in England; Meghan had splashy events back in the states with friends, including the infamous NYC baby shower; Meghan’s mom came to visit in England. Meghan was running toward something. Harry is running AWAY from something. Harry, unlike Meghan, has not loved abroad, has not been seen visiting friends and family back home, has not made comments over the years of wanting to meet a woman from America and live in LA. The dynamics are totally different.

Except Harry was very clear over the years that he wanted to get the f out of Britain. Same dynamics. And the fact that he has shown no interest in seeing friends and family back home is very telling - he doesn't miss them. Skype is enough for him probably because his family is known for living in separate castles hours and half a days drive away from each other anyway.

Also you clearly don't know much about him - Harry spent collective years of his life living in East Africa and said his time in Botswana + Kenya were some of the happiest moments in his life. In addition to having served in Afghanistan with his troops.

You seem confused. The “country” you are referring to is some British tabloids. Are you too dim to see the difference?

The British tabloids have free reign in U.K. society and are the pre-dominant news force in the country. They are also the major forces in the Royal Rota. None of the royal family spoke up about these injustices and in a 'country' where the 'Queen' is seen as the living embodiment of her nation, there is no difference.

They're British. It's the British Royal Family. Do you know anything about Brits?

He has friends in England. It's true that he hasn't seen them in years. Roughly coinciding to when he married Meghan.
