Personally I’d totally support their decision not to want a life in the public eye and stepping back from public duties. But would you go on TV and slag off your own Dad?

Aye. This.

Not watched it, never going to watch it, not interested.

What does interest me is why do people have this constant need to unload in public?

Emotional diarrhoea. No fucker can hold it in anymore.

It's the posh, connected version of two daft bints having an argument on Facebook in front of all their 'friends'. No bugger has any dignity anymore.

If I was him I'd have fucked off with all my money and you'd never have seen or heard from me ever again. Moral high ground seized, dignity intact, job done.

I'm watching it because there's fuck all going on In my life. Love a bit of drama.

The London tourist industry must be in tatters now American women have finally ended their strange obsession with the royal family. It finally makes sense to get rid from a financial point of view.

It can be added to Chernobyl and Auschwitz on the grief tourism world tour package

[Breightmet Boy]

As I see it they’ve sold their souls to the media.   I’m not going to watch the show, I’d rather they didn’t balloon about our Royal Family and if they wanted to get out of the limelight, do it with dignity.

William and Kate, and indeed Harry have been lauded as the modern face of the monarchy.

The fact that they may be deemed a bit stuffy and dedicated to duty is what attracts folk to the capital. 

Change too much just to conform and they become irrelevant. 

We dont know what processes and support are actually used within it, so not exactly easy to make any judgements. 

Some strong accusations have been made, from people wanting out and wanting to be away from prying eyes. Privacy is the last thing they're  getting now.

I'm not sure they will last the decade as man and wife; she seems to have form for falling out with those close to her.

Indeed

 

utterly pathetic

[Carlos]

It's like a council estate Facebook drama being played out by Princes. What Harry is trying to achieve, other than grabbing a load of cash, I don't know. Wanting privacy then moving to Hollywood... Only a matter of time before someone makes a film taking the piss out of him.

CBS reckon 100 million watched the interview; more than watched the Superbowl; and it seems likely to me that most of those viewers last night were women.

None of these royal revelations come anywhere close to the shock I still feel at finding out that @Youri McAnespie wears jogging pants in public.

They're only worn in public when jogging, or nipping to the corner shop.

I only stick my hands down the front in private.

I wouldn't be so sceptical. The yanks are even more obsessed with the Royal Family than the editor of the Daily Express is.

Maybe not, but throw Oprah into the mix and you're talking serious numbers.

[Ghana White]

Yep loads of Americans are obsessed with the royal family and cant believe when you're not arsed about them.. all just seems a distraction for the press so they dont have to confront the real news

[Cheese]

BOOM.

“Leave the racism stuff to us” deary me 🤦‍♂️

I think her point was that a white man shouldn't be telling black folk what they should or shouldn't be offended by. 

[Zico]

not arsed about the royal family either way - I'm happy enough to have them as they've always been there, history and all that

but wouldn't bat an eyelid if they announced that it was being dismantled and there'd be no more kings or queens

I'll watch tonight, to see how they pitch their depature - saw a headline on the BBC where Harry was quoted as saying they "literally cut me off financially" which is why he has to do these deals and interviews to get by

will be interesting to see the context and if that is a sore point, but yes, you quit your day job, that's how it works

I read they didn't get paid for the interview.

That's one interpretation of her comments. Equally could she be suggesting that he isn't capable of judging what is and isn't racist?

If so, then that's a whole new slippery slope.

Anyway, that's away from meghan's direct comments. If you make an allegation then back it up.

Supposedly the comments were made to Harry which he then passed on to her- so why didn't he (as a senior royal) deal with it formally there and then, or if necessary chin the individual concerned?

Think we need a straightener between the two brothers outside villa's club shop.

[Escobarp]

Is the consensus on here that the US is inherently more racist than the Uk? I certainly believed it was from my vie looking from the outside. although im sure Tricia will have an issue with me commenting. 

It seems one of the driving reasons behind leaving the UK from Harry’s perspective was to escape from racism. Strange place to move to potentially that being the case?

Which makes you question their motives.  If they need money surely they would want paying, if they want to stay out of the public eye then surely they wouldn’t do it?
