Harry and Meghan

However, on CBS and Oprah - they've gotta be pissed at Harry doing Corden and spoiling the exclusive? After all, Oprah was filmed ages ago, only for Corden to get in a week or two before with the first interview.
A fluff piece with a few minor quotes that made it in to the press for a few days vs. two short trailers for an interview that hasn't aired yet which has already generated significantly more press and interest.If anything the Corden piece was a nice little primer for CBS/Oprah/ITV etc.
A great insight into TalkRadio values.

Amazing the energy the Royal House is putting into distracting from this (allegations of bullying surface just a few days before this interview... how convenient).. yet they did the sum total of f
k all around the (alleged) Prince Andrew situation.
Wait.. is that MI6 knocking at my door?

I do hope not, but wonder if Oprah's interview is actually going to be self harming for them. Alleging "stories spread by Kate" and other such tabloid delights is probably not going to play well at all. Let's face it they have massive form in misreading the reality of public opinion, hence why presumably so many massive PR blunders & own goals.
"Haz" was widely liked before this whole episode and would seemingly get away with most things. This has the potential to go disastrously wrong. Taking the high road by focusing on their future plans and charitable endeavors over any muck raking & score settling would surely seem the better strategy.

You mean misreading public opinion, like how the media is now picking up on Andrew not having the same treatment by the Royal circus and wasn't investigated..."Haz" was widely liked before this whole episode and would seemingly get away with most things.

That type of misreading?
Can't forget to let the Queens fave off the hook, despite being affiliated with a known serial paedophile and rapist... and allegedly partaking on occasion.
The hypocrisy is off the chart

Fingers crossed that the whole institution is about to implode spectacularly.
They all sound like rather odious people.
Second hand information, but a friend works for the royal family has spent a lot of time with all of them. They all sound like rather odious people.
He won’t have a bad word said against any of them except Andrew (very unpredictable to deal with). Apparently Meghan was nothing but nice as well.

The Haz and Meg show is a global brand and what people in the UK think is pretty much irrelevent, the US is where the money is and from what colleagues over there tell me this whole pantomime is huge over there at the moment."Haz" was widely liked before this whole episode and would seemingly get away with most things.

Disagree. It's one if their biggest and wealthiest markets. And Harrys home.They also don't want Archie and the new one being hated in their dads country.

Does anyone know if Oprah insists in doing it her way or not at all? Or if the terms of the interview are negotiated between the parties.As its a big scoop to get them, and Oprah may have conceded on things to not dig into.

It is going to be a car crash for sure. Zara Tindall seems to have figured out how to live a (reasonably) private life without offending too many people and FULL credit to her. I thought that's what the H&M plan was when they left...
If Megan goes up against her Majesty, surely that's an accident waiting to happen?

Genuine question for your friend, one of the stories knocking about is that Meghan actually hissed at a member of her entourage during one of their public engagements abroad.He won’t have a bad word said against any of them except Andrew (very unpredictable to deal with). Apparently Meghan was nothing but nice as well.
If it's true it's a pretty damning indictment of her character, but it could just as easily be a lie from a disgruntled aide. Does your friend have an opinion on which?

You wouldn't go in the BMW sub-forum asking for advice about Fords...you'd go in the Ford forum.
