Incredibly insightful deconstruction of that infamous puff-piece! Wow! Just three little words…..so much to think about!
Oprah at the start said that nothing was off the table. Oprah's first question was about surrogacy....Megs immediately said that she wasn't going to talk about that. THAT question ended up on the cutting room floor. All the best to you and yours!
@@kittyfan That is so interesting.
Top Class
Very keen! So glad you’ve spelled this out. Good on you. Though most of us are tired of the 2, this is very enlightening… and more of the same unseen til now. T Y.
Harry is an empty suit !!! 000- 000-000 there is no hope for the kids he will probably put them in boarding school in Northern Maine, at least they'd have a chance
I'm with HG. Oprah displayed the journalistic skill of a poached egg.
Oprah is not a journalist. She is a celebrity interviewer. She only does softball interviews
😂😂😂👏👏👏
Meghan also lied about having no one to help her regarding Royal Protocol!
MM mintió en todo .. Hasta cuándo dijo que es negra .. Cuándo en su currículum era “caucásica”
There was HARRY first of all…
You don’t get introduced to the QUEEN without being told about protocol!
@@mbrakes23 She has absolute disregard to the protocol. Even if you're meeting her as the grandmother not the Queen, you prepare yourself. Isn't she smart, strong and independent
HM The Queen provided MM with a team of assistants, (the ladies MM treated so badly* that one, resigned and the rest refused to follow the Sussexes to Frogmoor Cottage)
MM also lied by implying she received no support when she "felt suicidal" - the Royal Household has access to the best medical attention.
*"What Meghan wants, Meghan gets."
@@user-ws9jt8xz1r
Absolutely - she only began using the 'race card' after the Winfrey interview - she changes colour depending on her audience.
I fully agree with you, Oprah, Meghan and Harry were hand in glove with all the accusations made. Despite all the chatter I had heard about Oprah over the years, this interview was the last straw. I lost all respect for her as a leader, as a self-made billionaire who intends to do good for others. She was manipulating the situation to her own advantage. All three of them were very short-sighted and clearly underestimated an institution that is respected throughout the world and has survived over so many years.
Oprah should be ashamed of herself for making matters worse within this family.
Oprah has never done anything for anyone other than herself
Perry also for saying he would not go to the christening of Lili$$$ if was in UK as he would not want to be with the RF - what a plank on his shoulders, he may be worth billions but is a bad role model for "family" if he condones the Markles behaviour
@@stephaniesnitily1734 Even Diana didn't want her. And Harry claims he is Diana's son but he seems to not know her at all
Had you been in Amarillo, Texas for the infamous hamburger suit, and not deluded by Orca's fame, you would have know another Orca than the one that is usually portrayed by the PR people.
My Black friends tell me that skin color of baby is discussed all the time awaiting birth of child especially in families with differing skin tones. Not meant as racist!
I agree, have a lot of islander friends. I asked them and said it’s not racist, just curious
I was interested to see if the kid would be ginger! And he is. 😂
even white people wonder and question about skin, hair and eyes. Nothing different.
I agree nothing wrong with wondering and asking if yhe child will be light or dark or red head or short or tall !!! None of that is racist!!! And since Harry over heard it and shared it with husband wife he should have told her to keep that to herself. Even though I don't think she would have!! He was so wrong for giving that interview!!!
I'm sure discussions like that were commonplace in the Markel family too when Megan's mother was expecting. If fact, it is commonplace in **every** family whether mixed race or not (who will baby Billy favor? what features? what relative? which side of the family?).
What we're seeing is Megan clearly playing a **race card** for as much shock factor , drama and sympathy she can get .
I don't think many people bought it.
In fact I blame Harry more than Meghan for this whole situation. It's HIS family. They're nothing to her but HE threw his own family under the bus and continues to trash them on a worldwide stage.
Harry is afraid of his wife. When that fear is piled on his other mental / behavioral problems, you've the train wreck that is Harry.
Well said.
@@smalllightbulb3492 👏👏
What little respect I had for Oprah was killed with this “interview”!
Same, I started to go off her a few years before the end of her talkshow, she just came off as phony and try hard. But this interview was the last straw, I was so angry at Oprah for giving Rachel Raglan a platform to disrespect the Queen.
Unbelievably unprofessional from Oprah as a renomed journalist!
Remember when Harry tried to speak a few times, she put her hand on his arm to quiet him. He was afraid of her even then.
He knew right away he made a big mistake but went along because William was right. He should have waited and gotten to know her better. My opinion
Great points! He's a coward. And Oprah should be ashamed.
Wrong, it has been proven that William has forged Harry's signature on documents. William has also released nasty stories to the press about Harry and Meghan.
We’re listening to a talk about 2 people here as if they were Normal people. The Grifters aren’t normal - in any way. They Lie as soon as their mouths are open, Lies come as easily to them as breathing does to the rest of us, so EVERYTHING, (as far as I’m concerned) has to be disbelieved & always has done. Didn’t anyone else think strange at that Engagement fiasco that she said - “I didn’t know who H was…..I didn’t Google him”. Did she REALLY expect us to believe her. A son of the most famous woman in the world in this Era, (as Diana was), & she really expected us to believe she didn’t know who he was….had never heard of of him ! THAT’S when alarm bells rang for me, & I haven’t believed a word that has come out of their mouths since, & Oh Boy…have I been proved right ! He daren’t go against her narrative because he’s obviously frightened of her……what a man he is who’s killed men out in Afghanistan, (supposedly, huh!) but DAREN’T contradict this woman in her Lies - I won’t say wife because she’s that in name only.
Agree
Harry becomes less likable in my eyes every time someone takes a closer look.
I have said all along Harry had no idea of half of what was said in that interview. Markle would have never allowed him to know and I bet he has never been allowed to watch it back either. Remember he is besotted with her. The only time he tried to interject she shut him down straight away. If it was a proper interview he should have been there the whole time.
I agree. At some point, I had sympathy for him “poor guy, married to that woman”. Now I now he’s just as bad. They are made for each other.
@@jilllawton8556 The way she was holding on to his hand and when he wanted to say something, she squeezed his hand so as to let him know he was NOT to say anything as SHE was talking. Every time I think of the engagement interview and the Oprah interview, the only thing I can do is shake my head. They should've been 'shut down' long before this. I'm rubbing my hands with glee in anticipation with what King Charles is going to do after the Coronation with regards to those traitorous two.
I get so sick of people blaming Megan for everything and saying she has brainwashed him and he should open his eyes etc etc. He is exactly the same type of person that she is. He's walking step and step with her in all these little antics. She's not leading him, he's right there with her. Contemporaries of him from when he was young or now coming out saying what he was really like. And they didn't like him. He was a bully in school and started fights. He used to get drunk and he threw up in a bar once, he used to lure young girls back to his father's basement for drug and beer. And if you look at when he looks at his brother in early pictures, you can see the jealousy. I believe he's been jealous of his brother from day one. And in that infamous quote from his book where he says Megan's eyes grew wide when they went through William and Kate's home, you will notice that he categorized the house the way an insurance investigator would. How many men do you know would notice crown molding and matching book covers in the library? He was just as jealous. And it's interesting that although his father gave him lots of money and he got money for being a working royal, at that time, he claimed to have a second hand sofa and lamps for IKEA. What did you do with all your money? It's not like you ever had to pay for travel for Royal events.
You’re right. If it’s actually possible to think any less of him - but every time he opens his gob I despise him more.
Let's not also forget that this couple received an award for "fighting structural racism in the Royal Family". An award that they flew in, by private jet, to gratefully accept. Then later they denied that they'd ever called the Royal family "racist".
So WHY hasn’t a demand for the return of that award been given - on account of the fact they actually denied ever calling the RF “ racist?”
On reflection - those two haven’t deserved any awards. They should return them all.
I watched this interview with Oprah. I felt this interview was MM’s way for her revenge against the Royal Family. As an interviewer, Oprah didn’t do any follow up questions to answers MM gave her. Oprah didn’t even question H when he discussed the color of the baby happening one time before they were married, not the many conversations about this topic that MM said took place with H during her pregnancy. Then the day after the interview it was shown that MM had told many “mistruths” during this interview. I believe that H knew exactly what his wife was doing in this interview, and he didn’t stop her from hurting his family, especially the late Queen.
I believe Meghan made sure she was very well rehearsed with the list of questions Oprah was going to ask.
I also think Oprah is wrong and was wrong to help create such problems within the Royal Family. She s very manipulative.
I know!!! That drove me crazy! The fact everyone just glossed right over the 9 months (at least) time difference. Anyone actually listening I thoughtI Is Oprah sleepwalking (sleepinterviewing should be a word) thru this farce.
@@ajune583 it did look like it; a rehearsed performance, artifice all over
All about publicity ! This was in the works since her wedding!
Thank you so much for making the point about the institution belonging to the British people. I have been saying this from the beginning - as a Brit, I am incandescent that this micro celebrity married into something she didn't understand (clearly she was never interested, but just wanted the money & platform). She used an institution that is an important part of our political system and our history/national story. And then she proceeded to lie about it and trash it for her own financial gain. But it isn't hers to trash and neither is it Harry's! Bad enough to just take the money & run but to damage something so important to Britain through ignorance & /or malevolence is unforgivable.
I agree
Well said loubieloujones, you clearly state the difference between 'institution and the role of the RF' and the 'family' which Megan has never understood
I’m American and could not agree more. The only comfort is that these two, “Allegedly” a cheap Hollywood scam artist and a traitor to his nation and his blood, have exposed themselves so thoroughly that they are little more than a laughing stock around the world!
Migraine’s perception of royalty was way out of line with what it actually is. She has a Disneyfied outlook and thought she would be swanning around in palaces all day in designer clothes wearing expensive jewellery going on prolonged holidays whilst her every whim would be catered to. Unfortunately when she found out she actually had to work the sh*t hit the fan
Harry goes around telling everyone not to talk or to say no comment yet he goes around spilling his guts to anyone who will pay him 😝
Harry deserves all he gets for the way he’s treated his family
I have a nagging feeling Meghan was kicked out of the Firm because of her side deals, obstinance and refusal to respect traditions and Harry felt he needed to leave out of loyalty to her. I reckon that’s why they’re so vindictive and continue to demand an apology. Their behavior doesn’t fit with people who left voluntarily. Just my theory as to why they’re so relentless with their attacks!
I thought she was asked to leave due to being caught rifling through private papers/pictures and also trying to take pictures at BP. I could be wrong tho, there's been so much to keep up with and memory can be faulty when you get to a certain age. You could be on to something there tho, because you're right about their behavior not fitting with a willing departure.
I'm on the fence between what you say, and the notion that she decided to leave from day one, to which effect she built the narrative that she was unliked for being non-royal, a people's princess, and jet off to Hollywood to be adored. She didn't want to do the work, she wanted the fame and money. Yet she knew that she needed the royal connection, so the "half in, half out" scheme provided visibility and an allowance. The RF saw right through it and said nope. So she's sullen and spiteful.
Also did the issue of Archie and surrogacy provide an additional reason for being asked to leave? Her behaviour in Australia was reported back to the Queen who was dismayed. Many reasons for finding M totally unsuitable.
@@joysutton5528 I wish there would be confirmation of her behaviour here in Australia, so far I have to think it is rumour. However, Harry was gloating how well they were received and that they were doing a better job than everyone else and that everything changed after they came back from the Australia tour. He suggested jealousy from other members of the RF, but it makes me wonder if the rumours are true.
I don’t believe they were asked to leave. I believe that they genuinely thought they could have the half in, half out scenario. Spending their days being Hollywood A list celebrities and trotting back to the UK to appear on the balcony and at big events but without having to do any of the day to day work of the Royal Family. When her late Majesty, The Queen gave them the “all in or all out” ultimatum, that’s when H& particularly M became hellbent on revenge. The Queen effectively squashed M’s big plan , she really thought she could merch The Royal Family.
I think each of the three knew exactly what Oprah was going to ask and had rehearsed it beforehand.
Of course !
Yes, obviously rehearsed. And Meghan was channeling Diana in her notorious 1995 interview with Martin Bashir: black dress, lots of eye make-up, claims of feeling suicidal, playing the victim.
So many lies, many of them revealed in the UK press in the following days, with documentary and photographic evidence.
I lost all respect for oprah after the interview with H&M. I watched her from the early 80's as a news host. She went from a intelligent qualified journalist to a scandal grabbing shock value truth distorting person.
Harry correct Megan! Imagine the consequences of that! Harry wouldn’t dare do that, he would rather hurt his family than go against Megan
Oprah lost a lot of credibility due to this chat.
And rightfully so. She was druling all over the place for having the 'delight' of being the first to interview this 'royal' couple.
Not a lot of credibility but all her credibility
And rightly so.
She never had much to start with JMO! But yes, ppl saw the "real"Oprah!
She was never a real journalist. After what she did to Raven in her interview…. It said it all.
I just find it unbelievable that she managed to enter the RF!!
Same here, no way I think the BRF didn’t know who MM really was, no matter hopeful they were. Lady Colin’s book reads that they were thrilled at Meghan’s enthusiasm.
Yeah, she wanted a free ‘spectacle’ wedding, free multi million dollar dress, she’d have said ANYTHING to get that.🤷♀️
Everyone could see she had an agenda, except Harry.
Apparently H threatened to use the Race card if they weren’t allowed to marry. And it’s written somewhere. But he knew how everyone felt about her,,, yet he was going to Marry her no matter what they said!! I believe they had No choice. And they had to Scrub the internet for her Worst behaviour
@@judywright4241 they did know. Don’t think that MI 5 and MI 6 hadn’t done their homework on her - they scrubbed a lot off the internet for her. However, she was already laying the groundwork for playing the R card with Harry and if she wouldn’t have been able to marry him - she would have used it then and I don’t think the RF wanted that. I think they hoped she would settle in to the role. Notice how quickly she pulled the R card out when she didn’t get her way to merch the RF and make money off them. She was always going to use it - the question was when she would use it.
I think she trapped him by pretending she was pregnant, and then was un pregnant right after the engagement was announced. That would explain that belted coat she was wearing when they made their engagement appearance. He couldn’t very well back out once it was announced. I think that’s why the BRF bit their lip went through with it.
You are 100% correct. Oprah, who I always loved and respected, did herself a massive disservice by doing this so poorly. It is clear and evident that BOTH these individuals are insecure, nasty, entitled and downright vindictive and will stop at nothing to get what they want. The fact that they still have support is alarming and now they are moving on to use their children…diabolical
Oprah did not do it poorly. She is too professional to do it poorly. She intentionally did a poor job to serve her agenda.
Oprah exploits people for money, she allows people a public platform to lie and destroy lives
Harry's wife had a hysterectomy, pregnancies and miscarriage can not happen. Two pregnancies and a miscarriage in 17 months is impossible. What you saw are moon bumps and the children's pictures are all poorly photoshopped.
It's so sad that their kids are going to grow up without any grandparents other then her mum, no cousins, no aunties and uncles. Wonder what they will think of it all when they grow up and realise they didn't get to see their grandad before he passed. Also I find it very telling that they have said they want some relationship if possible with Harry's side even after all they have accused them of but they are not willing to give megs side the time of day. I'm not saying megs family are angels but to me its calculating they are of no worth to them but Harry's family are. Terrible people.
@@daisyfish-fn4js absolutely agree! The royal family can be of use to them, her family can’t. Very sad!
The most ridiculous lie was that Archie would be refused security because of his colour!
This was one of the best analysis of the Oprah interview I have heard. Good job.
I agree! BRAVO!
Agreed
It always stood out to me how Harry wasn’t there for the whole interview. He was too cowardly to actually be there for the first part of questions and accusations. Yes I picked up on how he came in late and took no responsibility or was prepared to contradict Meghan. Oprah should be ashamed of herself for that sham of an interview.
Meghan has a huge ''narcissic personality disorder''. SHE wants to control everything. That's why SHE was the one to be interviewed by Oprah. She pushed Harry on the side.
Harry brought this Dark force into the Royal family and its up to Harry to get Megan out of this mess by telling the truth...
Not only did Oprah do herself no favor with that lame interview, which she thought was going to be the interview of the century, a masterpiece, 🏆and probably hoping to be part of the downfall of the Royals, but she actually destroyed her own reputation, which after a backlash, tried to u-turn a few times on Gale King's interview, with the latest one saying she doesn't get into other people's business.
Yeaaaaa right!!! Uh-huh. 🤨
Oprah has made her entire career out of getting into other people's business !!
Who is she trying to kid?!
Has Oprah ever met herself???
Oprah has always had distain for the Royal Family. After this staged discussion, not a real interview, she was busy back peddling. Too late we saw her true attitude and bad acting during the show.
As I sat listening to pieces of this interview, as a British born Australian, my immediate thoughts was, “this is for the American audience “. The British and people from the Commonwealth would have seen more holes than Swiss cheese in her narrative. When the comment of “were you silent or silence?” Immediately one of our tv presenters said, “I just wish she’d shut up!” Until that interview, I felt, along with others, “good on you” for doing what they wanted. They weren’t Pat Malone because others from various Royal families have done the same. They went on and carved a life away from their homeland and were very successful and not one whinged about it. In come the Sussexes. She was furious mainly because she found out that Harry wasn’t the billionaire she thought he was. Second, when they swanned into Hollywood, they may have made a ripple but not the adulation she expected. Harry was the draw card because he is a Prince and his status within the British Royal Family. After that interview, we saw the cracks, the table tilting and the Sussexes losing respect for throwing a family and a country, who welcomed the wife, under the bus and hasn’t stopped.
Thank you for the insight you presented. I’m a Singaporean who has always been a Royalist. I was INCENSED after watching that interview! Even from so far away and so far removed from the whole situation, I could tell there were so many untrue and unjust accusations! There were so many blatant lies made in public! Despicable duo, n more shame on Harry for helping throw his family under the bus.
I also COMPLETELY lost all respect for Oprah! I was a fan for years, hanging onto every word of hers and reading her magazines, etc. But she has since left a bitter taste in my mouth. I can’t bear to read anything from/of her. I am disappointed in her and feel only contempt for her. Shame on using the international stage for lies.
Well said !!!
This captured my feelings exactly. I will never think of Oprah the same way again. I live about 100 miles from Montecito and this duo has ruined that area for me as well. This channel was recently discovered. It’s truly balanced and respectful.
@@sandraray3731 Yes, very disheartening when you discover your idol has huge feet of common garden clay! 🥲
Well said. I think Oprah Winfrey lost all credibility with this interview.
As a citizen of two Commonwealth nations I was also hugely disappointed in the three of them. This for me was the horrifying and tragic reveal of h&ms' true character.
I'm loving your videos, and the way you present. You're not nasty, just present facts, even quotes!, and let them speak for themselves. Love it 😊
I appreciate that!
You really are the best. Im so glad i found your channel. @@thevintageread
You’re doing an excellent job in picking up on these missed points. I’m enjoying your show immensely.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you.
Some of it hahhh he couldn't bare the fact that she is lying and making things up and he cannot accept it that they are lying to the WORLD but money matters because his father refuse to send him MORE money quote I am not a BANK 😅😅 Meghan needs to prove her ignorance but don't have the dime to cater to her self centered drama
What I want to know is this: Did Meghan know that Baby Archie would become a prince when his grandfather Charles became king? My hunch is that she was so blinded by jealousy that Catherine's kids were born with prince/cess titles that she just couldn't process the fact that Archie wasn't. She had been so bitterly jealous of Catherine before even meeting her and I think she was (and still is) furious that she didn't get everything Catherine got --from titles to William to the future queenship. Her jealousy of Catherine is obsessive and dangerous.
I have found that Harry and Meghan approached King Charles when Archie was first born and asked him to NOT make Archie a prince when he became King because they said a Title without a role is a burden! They had changed their mind by the time of the Oprah interview! 😉
This was excellent, thank you. It is great to think about these elements in a bit more depth. I'm in Canada - and we weren't really very keen to pay for Harry and family's security here either, when they first pulled up in North Saanich. When they were visiting (before leaving) they brought a full contingent of royal security team with them - just as you say. No question Harry was fully aware Meghan was launching a full attack and Oprah was going to play the role of an overacting foil. As we've seen since Oprah - he's a bitter, jealous, adolescent - so I think he has really enjoyed having Meghan launch the slagging. I was so incredibly shocked at Oprah's behaviour in that interview - it really changed my opinion of her. Could not believe such a seasoned interviewer just going along with everything - even the totally obvious lies. No questions, no background work done.
Saanich resident here & fully agree with what you have written 🇨🇦
Americans don’t want to foot their security bill either or see them get IPP status 🤦♀️
Absolutely agree with you. Oprah went down in my book. That "What?" Just really bothered me and at the time I couldn't articulate why. If she wanted this interview why did she come in with so many preconceived notions? And not question Anything this bimbo said. And still not...Just say it Oprah...
She has a(n divisive) agenda to push - and she used M as much as M used her.
@@BlessYourHeart254 It is strongly speculated one of the reasons they're (or at least henry) is so desperate for IPP status is he gets diplomatic immunity and can't be charged with a crime. Like assault. . .
He also would have more tools to shut down any press saying "mean things" about him. He hates the first amendment and called it "bonkers".
Absolutely accurate description of three trouble makers getting caught out! Love it.
Rejecting the title for a Dumb reason, was insulting to us the Scottish people.
Yes it was, unthinking and immature.
Indeed.
The real rejection reason was... I want Prince only.
And, I believe, it proves Meghan is a bully. Who else would equate the name of a title with the possibility of Archie being bullied by it? Perhaps someone who would have done the same.
No, you should thank your stars that you don't have a pair of traitors connected in any way with beautiful Dumbarton. Don't you feel sorry for the people who live in beautiful Sussex? To be connected to Haznoballs and Megaliar the Vile Vicious Viper??? 😀😅😆
Harry's face during that curtsey said it all for me. I agree with you and as an American I so appreciate your opinion and perspective. Oprah went down in my book by her ridiculous reaction to the question of "color of " the children. The family business is priceless....even us outsiders realize this is more complicated. They have no right to security here, they are not ambassadors for the UK. So pay for it yourself. It really is idiotic and Harry is like many husbands who say Whatever you say, dear.
It was M who said that tho. First she implied outrageously that her kids won't get a title because of their skin colour then she made that accusation of not one but multiple conversations around the colour of her kids skin. Where Oprah failed was not pressing her or him on the exact content of that conversation, whether it can be true their titles were in jeopardy because of skin colour, and also not picking up on the inconsistencies in their accounts. She would know they would be the most inflammatory remarks of the entire interview and she abdicated her responsibility to press them. They are all vulgar, self serving people.
I believe Harry didn't like Megan disrespecting the Queen with the exaggerated curtsey skit. His face turned red his jaw and lips tightened. He looked away and down. He was shaken and disheveled. It was surprising that it wasn't edited out since it was bound to create a mountain of disgust by all who love and respect the monarchy and the Queen.
What surprised me the most about that Oprah interview was the fact that his wife said it was various conversations whilst she was pregnant, but when Harry was asked, he pretty much contradicted her. He said it was once when they were dating. And my thoughts were that he realized the mistake he made, so then he shut it down by saying he wouldn't discuss it because it would be detrimental to the person. Which I thought was such a magnanimous response. He's so nice, even though this person is racist, he won't discuss it further. smh If I'd been the interviewer I would have asked further questions, because there's no way Oprah didn't catch the discrepancy. But then again, the interview's purpose was to throw his family under the bus.
An experienced interviewer like Oprah Winfrey would have been TOTALLY aware of the discrepancy, but was not going to veer away from the deal she had made with Megaliar. All three people in the "interview" had already decided and rehearsed this whole farce BEFORE they went on TV.
The interview was meant to be ALL ABOUT MEGHAN. Harry was only brought in at the end to reinforce HER status as the Duchess of Sussex. It was NEVER meant to be about Harry… as always he is only a bit player in HER story.
My brother's best frienD married a beautiful Jamaican girl and when she became pregnant it was HER parents wondering what colour the baby would be, and chuckling! So would THAT be regarded as racist?!
It was my understanding the entire show was scripted plus there is enough footage left over after editing for a second Oprah with Harry and Meghan show
Exactly that
How have I only just discovered your channel?!? This was a fantastic analysis of the interview delivered in a calm and factual manner. I wish I could speak like this. Just brilliant. All the people who still believe the lies that were told in that interview couldn't watch this and deny you raise really good points. You have a new subscriber. ❤
Thank you and welcome!
I'm French and glad we got rid of the French monarchy. Nevertheless, I have always had immense admiration and respect for your Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth, for her dignity and tireless loyalty to her people and her country, and thus during 70 incredible years, but also for Prince Philip. Most people only see the pageantry and the wealth, but I never believe it was an easy life to be a member of the RF. For years, the press has echoed Prince Harry's outrageous shenanigans. But since this interview with Winfrey, who certainly had her own agenda, followed by other interviews, without forgetting Netflix and the Spare book. In my opinion, Harry is an absolutely irresponsible idiot, a privileged spoiled brat, devoured by jealousy and that's quite an understatement, but worse a cad for mentioning the woman's name of his first intimate experience without caring about the consequences of his often contradictory allegations. In MM, He met his Nemesis, a greedy, conniving, fame-seeking 2nd rate little actress who never reached Hollywood stardom. By treating people in general like they do, both their families, this bunch of liars are digging their own graves.
Great summary! Merci Beaucoup!
@@thevintageread Je vous en prie. Very, very sad.
I couldn't have said it any better.
It's like you read my mind ☺️
Thank you that was a marvellous comment 🙏🏻 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 ❤
And they cannot dig them fast enough
As a staunch supporter of the Monarchy and a patriotic citizen, I’m so grateful to this lady and all the other TH-camrs who keep calling out the lies and hypocrisy of Harry and his wife. Their misremembering and misrepresentation of the truth must not be allowed to stand.
Totally agree that Oprah did herself no favors doing this interview. I heard recently that she actually wanted the elusive interview the queen which is why she came to the wedding in the first place. Recently Gayle king sat down with her and asked her some question about Megan and Harry and their families and she said that she is not getting involved with any family business. Is she trying to put the genie back in the bottle?? It's much too late now
I don't think Oprah had any idea how the monarchy works, and I'm wondering if she's now realised she was used by M&H for their personal hit piece, if so, she must feel like a fool
@Sarah Dickson Wondered that too. It put Oprah on the hot seat with the RF for sure. Wonder if any calls behind the scenes were made to try to apologize or clear things up?
It was publically reported that all questions and topics to be discussed in the interview were rehearsed between O and MM days beforehand.
As I understood it, she just wanted the interview so badly she was prepared to give them pretty much whatever they wanted which is why there was much in the way of interrogation. Definitely think she doesn't know how it works and made a fool of herself which she is most certainly trying to backpedal on now.
In actual fact it was Diana, Princess of Wales, she desperately wanted to interview but was turned down on several occasions.
Harry was already afraid of correcting meg.
I live in Scotland and the people of beautiful and historic Dumburton are pissed off 🤷♀️🏴
I bet they are…gorgeous part of the world!
Totally agree with you on this. And Oprah made a fool of herself.
I think Harry realised how far down the hole they were and tried to save himself! Unfortunately it’s backfired
In other words, 'I'm not prepared to take any responsibility for what is said in this interview '. The more I hear from him, the more he confirms that absolutely nothing is his fault. If we don't take ownership of our actions, how can we learn, grow and move on?
Meghan is a master of implying with no supporting facts. Just another example.
Listening to your presentation is such a pleasure.
Harry is a master at this also
Exactly… and its annoying that not a lot of people notices this.. 😂
She is a narcissist and speaks in word salad which I think is common in California
Harry has been that way all his life
Spot on. Harry was likeable and very much part of the “family” until Megan came along. And do we still believe the King is Harry’s actual father? I for one don’t.
Apparently they had been planning their 'escape' since before the wedding. They were also apparently in talks with the palace about leaving before Archie's birth , so if this was the case and as we know SECURITY was one of the main points under discussion then it would have been mentioned during those discussions that their security would be removed and so also Archie's.
I take your point… but she made out in the interview that it was concern about colour of Archie’s skin that made title uncertain which made security unlikely. All rubbish but it is what she implied!
I watched the Oprah interview, and so much of the anti-RF was put on the "racism" that Oprah helped build up. When it was a talk between Harry and Meghan, NOT the RF and the country talking about "Archie's skin color". Oprah made a huge deal about that, and Meghan didn't clarify it until Harry came into the picture. But, she DID say Harry and her talked about it. But, between Oprah and M, they both blew up the "everyone is racist against her", which wasn't the case. And, M wouldnt EXACTLY clarify anything either. She wouldn't name ANY names of who said what, except that her and Harry talked about Archie's skin color. (Just TWO PEOPLE.) But from Meghans accusations, and insinuations, and Oprah exaggerating it even more, it created a firestorm that never had to be.
I was sort of put out at Oprah for exaggerating the "racism" part, to where it took on a life of its own, and it wasn't true at all.
Meghan has been extremely detrimental to the RF and Harry, but Oprah helped it along, which she never should have done. And, she's not apologized for her part in this either. She was old enough and experienced enough to be more unbiased than she was, but it clearly fed Oprah's need for anything "racist". It has hurt Oprah's image, to a some degree. Notice M and H STILL haven't set this straight, after all the talk and negative backlash they've received. Interesting.
Talk about gaslight ing!
@@thevintageread yes I agree ,I think that the the whole security/title thing was just to introduce the implication of R into the discussion
The queen told Harry exactly what he would be losing, I don’t think he believed her, it wasn’t even her decision to make, if you are not a working royal, all he privileges he had, Inc security, are removed, the house, servants, , clothes, holidays, all part of the payment your wages, , Are all stopped……
I never liked Oprah Winfrey and never understood why so many people loved her/idolized her. I had people become horrible to me when they found out that I never watched Winfrey and that I did not like her.
Took way too long for people to finally realize Winfrey is not a good person.
Success in life is not a guarantee….We are watching Harry’s very public slide into disgrace…..
IMHO: The statement from MeGain (I’ve always thought) when speaking of the palace should have went, “They were willing to lie to protect others, but they were not willing to lie to protect us.” Telling the truth strikes no chord with this woman’s character, unfortunately. How different all of this would have turned out to be if Harry had brought someone presentable home to meet Grandma. This is what happens when somebody with all the wrong stuff comes strutting along with the intention to become a princess.
Remember the balcony appearance where he tells her to turn around and face the front as per royal protocol. He would never dare do that now. Such a power shift in the relationship which hums emotional manipulation. Letting her get away with that parody of a curtesy in the Netflix show is a great comparison. She knows he’s too scared to pull her up. Not a healthy situation.
Meghan at some point was informed that she wouldn’t be named Princess of Wales…. and she’s been throwing the mother of all hissy fits ever since.
Hi from the US, I love how fair and respectful you are in all your videos! Idiotic is the best adjective when we describe the gruesome twosome because they are idiots. Those 2 are in a narcissist-victim relationship so what they do make total sense, just not to normals or empaths like us. Keep up the great work! ❤
Thank you very much!
Harry has no backbone! He will never stand upto MEGAN!
Harry did correct one thing. Meghan claimed that there were numerous conversations about skin color while she was pregnant with Archie. Harry said that it was one conversation (doesn't mention what it is about) prior to their marriage. But when Meghan first tells Oprah about the "conversations", Oprah's questions are all about "the conversation". No matter how many times Meghan uses the plural, Oprah keeps using the singular. Like she got the real story from Harry earlier.
And apparently MM wasn't present for any of these so called "conversations". That " WHAT? " From Oprah just really bothered me... I couldn't articulate why, but Chris rock said it....
Didn't notice that with Oprah but now you've said it, I remember. I did recall Meghan saying "there were numerous conversations," and Harry saying there was one with someone wondering what colour his skin would be.
I agree, Haggard sounds cowardly and like he is giving himself an 'out' when he says he only watched 'some of it'.
That constant whining about security (and money ofcourse) already put me completely off during that interview. What on earth makes them believe that they are that important?
Well, he believes it is his right to be relevant because God made him a Prince.... I don't think he realizes the whole world will not buy into his BS. He epitomizes how royalty killed each other in the past just to jockey for that crown. It's not about that kind of power anymore. He just can't give back where it's needed.
@@marylyn3081 interesting to notice that he doesn't blame the press for his royal birth.
Well, as wrong as they may be for doing that, he still is the grandson of Queen Elizabeth, son of Princess Diana and (king) Charles, so, this means he will always be a target for someone. He does need security, and so do his children.
He did not chose to be born into Royalty. He chose to leave, but he will forever be a RF descendant, and that is, on itself, a dangerous place to be in.
How would any of them (RF) feel if something terrible happened to him, or one of his children for lacking security?! If that doesn't matter to them, they are not good people. They can hold grudges, but endangering lives out of spite, it's a huge NO NO for me.
@@cg3560 He had all that explained to him and still chose to leave, because they thought they would make millions so it wouldn't matter. So it is on him and her at the end of the day, they can always hide away like their kids until they become too old for anyone to recognise.
@@cg3560 So who pays, the British or the Americans?
Harry puts into mind of 16th century “spares” that would slay the King so that he could rule the Kingdom. Meagan is the person pushing him toward the throne. If I were William, I’d be watching my back!
Me too! 😂
Harry sees Meghan as his salvation from a job he didn't want to do. Therefore, whatever she says is just fine with him. So long as he can keep partying & doing whatever he wants, he's a happy clam.
I think you are onto something there 💎
@Blue Diamond
I've always seen Harry as just a Good Time Charley who requires someone to take care of him & cover up his missteps. Someone he can consider "a mother figure" although he doesn't know that a responsible mother would've set him right by now.
He's never grown up & never will.
Dumbarton means Fortress of the Britons, a pretty badass name to have for a title.
I agree!
Thank you for pointing that out. The only thing he corrected M on was the 'conversations' about Archie's skin colour. She said there were a number of conversations that took place when she was pregnant with Archie. He said there was only one conversation and it was at the beginning of their relationship. Those two couldn't lie straight in bed!
The part of this interview that infuriated me was when MEghan acted indignant about the royals not considering that she was American and didn't know the British national anthem. She was reportedly offered guidance by the queen via Sophie, and turned it down because she "had Harry". She has no one to blame but herself for relying on Harry. And she's a grown woman who, by her own account, is "smart".
This was not one of Oprah's finest moments. She pandered to these ridiculous grifters and they made her look foolish.
It would be interesting to see the interview without any cuts. If Oprah had any integrity she would release the whole interview then we would be able to hear exactly what was said
I have the full transcript but not the vid
The video had been edited before release with answers being spliced against different questions. The internet has been pretty much scrubbed of the original consecutive content. Oprah Winfrey has a lot to answer for.
@Wendy Harris Agreed. She helped create a very unnecessary firestorm. Question is.....WHY did the media ALLOW this? No one has taken Oprah to task, and the media always jumps on anything like this. But, they all stayed away. They are contriving a narrative as well, it would seem.
You can no longer put Oprah and integrity in the same sentence.
Why you should share it please
I’ve never watched Oprah since nor will I…….
Oprah failed badly with a lack of follow up questions. She did not probe or challenge.
As for “a bit of it”……it hi-lights Harry’s immaturity and an inability to focus where required.
Love the way you deliver the script. Very clear and organised. Great voice to listen to, too. Harry’s three words were to protect him, making him no part of what Meghan said. Regarding the titles, they were not good enough because they didn’t begin with the letter “P” although she would have been given an explanation why, I am sure. Obviously when Prince Phillip died, the children got their “P” titles!
I honestly think harry was in on this con right from the start
There once was a woman called Markle
Her acting career a debacle
She gave several hints
She'd marry a prince
And ended alone in a castle.
Whenever she’s asked a question about some lie she told she goes silent and waits for the interviewer to answer for her. She has no proof of the statements she makes. I loved the one when Oprah made the comment about the babies color she waited for Oprah to give an answer then said yea if that’s the way you want to look at it. I don’t understand how more people don’t call her out on her bad behavior.
Your commentary is so insightful and brings the truth to the surface. I look forward to watching your show.
he's scared of her ,she rehearsed the questions and answers with Oprah and she MM, orchestrates everything
Oprah is a troublemaker. I enjoyed listening 👍
I believe he said some of it because he did not want to be asked about anything his wife had said. I’m assuming he knew that she had not spoken the truth and didn’t want to contradict her.
A very insightful video 👏Harry’s wife made a lot of half accusations in the interview with Oprah, we said while we were watching that she was starting an accusation and then letting Oprah finish it for her, hence Harry later saying ‘did she use the word racist?’
Very smooth 😊
It is so disgusting what they have done to the RF and are insisting to get an apology and to be part of grand occasions.
I agree, they do not deserve an apology, more like they need to give the RF and British public one and we do not want to see them at grand occasions, if their family want to see them, they can enter by the back door and stay in the kitchen till the spectacle is over, we don't need to see them.
I agree, Oprah's reputation as a responsible journalist with integrity has been tarnished by this interview. She failed to ask about contradictions from the pair.
I’m slowly losing the will to live with the lot of them 😮😢
But that’s what they want. To bring the whole lot down. I was never a ra ra royalist, but this situation has made me one. I will not lose our history, which is what the RF are. ‘Custodians’ as stated perfectly. I agree, too much media attention and every bloody day. But is that being churned out by the RF?? I don’t think so.
@@charliesmith_ Yes. Good point.
Well them two wont have to try taken the monache down K Charles and William are doing a good job themselves
@@catdee51
Totally agree with you on this
This is really good! All the things everyone missed and are so important! “Some of it” became plausible denial. Such schemers and liars!
I find it interesting that no one seems to have noticed that when Harry's wife says she's wasn't given any help or lessons on how to be royal , Harry starts to say yes they do but she cuts him off and talks over him.
They had the discussion but he didn’t dare disagree.
The Canadian Government paid for security for them while they were in Canada. That's why they chose Canada, so they could have security, thanks to Canadian tax payers, while they were negotiating multi million dollar deals with American companies.
USA citizens are also paying security for these jerks when they play pretend to be working royals.
When they went to the UN, met with mayor DeBlasio, went to the 9/11 memorial etc.
That was absolutely fantastic Shauna ❤ I think it makes it even clearer who the Royal Family are if instead of saying working members of the Royal Family (a phrase I’ve never liked) we changed it to saying serving members of the Royal Family. Therefore if a former Royal, Harry for example, leaves the Royal Family for a new life overseas it is clear he is no longer serving the people of the United Kingdom. Crown monies can no longer be used to bankroll him if he no longer serves the people of the United Kingdom, nor British taxpayer’s monies used to service a 24 hour per day security team if he no longer performs any duties in the UK. Changing the word “working” to “serving” makes Harry’s new position crystal clear. He no longer serves the UK and therefore not entitled to anything from the UK. Nor can he expect fully paid services by the President of the United States. The US only takes on the responsibility for members of the British RF if they are on a limited diplomatic or state visit. Harry provides no services to the people of the United States, nor is he on a state visit. Harry may still be a Prince by birth but he is no longer a Prince of the British Realm. That message might be driven home if the king used the word service in communications with Harry when trying to combat all of his various demands for money, titles and a private security team. The BRF are still serving the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth every day. Harry & Meghan are not. Thanks for sharing your insights, as always it’s a pleasure to hear you.
Must admit that's my one massive bugbear with Harry. The incorrect things that Meghan said, ok yes she may have forgotten (give her the benefit of the doubt), but this was Harry's whole life. He would know the rules, how it works with security, titles etc. Its the fact, like you said, he didn't correct anything. Its like he's just started the think the same way as Meghan, its so strange. Personally, for the security after leaving, I think he thought playing the Diana card and saying "Do you want my wife to die too" would make The Queen bend the rules for him. Didn't work. As for Oprah - massive let down from her. That wasn't an interview. She didn't challenge anything. When the lies started to become common knowledge Oprah lost a lot of credibility.
On the night Diana dies she had dismissed her official security. That police officer would not have allowed Diana to travel with a driver who had been drinking alcohol. Diana was not wearing a seat belt, if she had been then she might well have survived.
@@yumyummoany plus the attending doctor assumed that as Diana was conscious and talking that she was OK!. He didn't assess the situation properly
You almost have to feel sorry for this woman; in her mind she thought that she was going to take over the British monarchy. 🤣
Meghan has never been silent a day in her life!
The Meg probably was confused by the fact Archie could never be in the line of succession to the crown of England because his birth, of her body, was not witnessed.
You bring up some good points that others failed to notice!
Good thing she'll NEVER Recover from All her treachery...
😮
“WE WANT PRIVACY! WE WANT PRIVACY!”
😂 they have been reduced to a tasteful meme 😂
Thank you! Finally someone who has actually brought up what has been eating at me about this since that interview.... Harry MUST have known about how titles work and must have known that whilst their kids didnt have titles at the time, they WOULD get titles on the death of the queen. What this hints at, for me at least, personal opinion, is that Harry is keeping his mouth shut in order to defend his wife - Happy wife, happy life......
Great insights. I agree. Enjoy listening to your comments and thoughts.
Thank you kindly
"No comment" is not only the common sense response, it is the stated directive of most employers.
You should be on NATIONAL TV- every night.....
because you explain it ALL in the best possible way!!🙏🙏🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍
😊😂
And you're so funny! I love your channel!
What a great analysis. I wish she had also mentioned the concern over the “skin colour” and then Harry blatantly denying that they had implied that the
RF were racist. Love this lady. I want to hear more from her.
Really enjoying your analysis of the books.
I truly believe that M went on about the title for Archie because she wanted the same treatment as the Cambridge children. That's why she went on about the Letters Patent.
You see things that pass others by. I didn't watch the interview but saw some clips so it's interesting to hear details that journalists missed. It is the journalist's profession to challenge and evaluate comments made by the interviewee. It seems they are very sloppy and just pounce and the obvious. Thank you for dissecting the claims. It is amazing how these two have the balls to lie. Harold removes himself for the situation when his wife speaks an unabashed lie. The actress has used her training to be an excellent con artist.
You hit the nail right on the head. Meghan is a con artist and a very good actress but then Harry isn't too bright. EVERYONE in the RF saw through Meghan's veil of deception. How many members of the family and Harry's friends told him not to rush into marriage with Meghan but Harry didn't want to listen to anyone. And this rubbish about Meghan's race only became headlines when Meghan made it an issue. When Harry went to the Queen to ask permission to marry Meghan, her words were "well I don't really have a choice, do I." (Insert blackmail here) Rumour was that she told Harry she was was pregnant. If the Queen had refused, the fact that Meghan was bi-racial would have been used and painted the RF as racists. On the Australian tour, Harry was heard yelling at Meghan "Are you pregnant or NOT!" Meghan's behaviour on that that tour was absolutely abominable. She really showed her true colours, as she did when she bullied Princess Charlotte.
@Alexandra Benz I also chose not to watch that interview. I`m a Brit, living in the US, just vaguely supportive of the Royal family, but feeling instinctively uncomfortable with this concept of Royals on the tv. I have since seen only clips and analysis of the interview. @The Vintage Read Show has completely confirmed exactly how this evil plan gained momentum. Wow !!
@@jenteale I'm an Australian living in Wales and have been here for 17 years. I didn't take much notice of the RF as they were only 'glorified' in magazines (the Diana era) but also the scandals of the Charles, Camilla, Diana triangle and the toe sucking episode of Fergie's. They were always there at the back of my mind and that was fine; what they did wasn't impacting on my life in the least. I didn't buy the magazines and at that time it was rare for people to have computers so it wasn't in your face 24/7.
It wasn't until I came to live in the UK that I started to read about and researched what the RF really did and how many charities they supported and championed and with that, my respect for the RF (minus Prince Harry) grew. Harry has always made it known that he didn't like having to be 'on show' all the time and the only time he felt at ease was when he was in Africa. He said he wanted to live there with Meghan. Can you imagine that?? Meghan in Africa??? No I can't either.
I don't know what she thought she was going to do when she first got her claws into Harry. Maybe Harry was going to persuade the Queen to give up the throne in favour of Harry and Meghan - that's what she wanted. She wanted to be Queen - that was her ultimate goal. She even tried it on with William, thinking if she could get Catherine, she would have a chance to one day be queen. Meghan once said in an interview in the beginning "We are only a plane crash away from the throne". That alone got me thinking about her true character. Her and Harry's engagement interview is very telling as well; the fact that she lead the interview and wouldn't let Harry say much and when he tried, she squeezed his hand and he thought twice about saying anything.
I'm sorry to say but things are going to get even messier. She has a lot of dirt on Harry and his book shows what a really big twat he really is. You know when a toddler is very quiet, you know they are up to something, well it's the same with Meghan. She's been very quiet since Harry's book was published. Only time will tell and the 'OMG?!' sighs and head shakes are only days or weeks away.
Harry's Wife as a true Narcissist lives with big fantasies featuring herself, and whomever her main partner is. Reality takes a long time to sink in. She went into this royal "gig" truly thinking 1. She'd have her own castle with full staff ( queen of her mythical home and circle) 2. Eventually she and Harry would inherit the throne by popular vote, and Rule and be rich. She thinks in Disney picture terms. 3. Like all Narcissists when reality slaps them in the face...no castle. She got angry, and truly believes it's everyone else's fault. Narcs believe theyvare above evryone else, superior, and always correct. So her actions aren't revenge in her mind, but true Vengence for mot getting her fantasy fulfilled.
They were from the beginning ready to damage the monarchy.
And I really do not understand that the firm did not reacted
