If there had been no way to view the actual marriage certificate and had Lambeth continued to maintain silence...I wonder if the Sussexes would have continued to insist that they were already married before May 19th?
one gets the feeling that all three of them are pretty bad actors.. but probably Oprah DOESNT know the rules about royal titles. however all she's required to do is ot fake shock and horror at everything Meghan said.
She was amazing in The Colour Purple as well. Oprah's a great actor.
Cathy, I am in the US - from North Carolina. The few conversations I’ve had with people here “what did you think?” have all agreed that talking about your family the way they did is appalling. You asked about a poll. According to this one that I found, they have lost support since the interview. Here is the link:
Eskimo, I agree with you. I am a counselor in the US so I know nothing about the NHS and how suicidal ideation is handled in the UK. If Harry (and Charles) have had therapy in the past, they could have picked up the phone to call that therapist directly. Or their personal physician. The protocol here would be to call a hotline (can understand why they wouldn’t want to do that), call your family physician, call a known mental health provider, or go to the ER. For them it would make sense to call someone they knew (she should also have connections to her obstetrician). Here, a physician or therapist would immediately dispatch a qualified therapist to make a confidential home visit to assess whether she was a danger to herself or others. There are people on call 24/7 to do these “mobile crisis” assessments. Or because of who she is, she could have been seen immediately somewhere discreet. If this person thought she was in danger of hurting herself, she would have been hospitalized. And if she needed to be, I think they could certainly have kept the reason quiet. We have no idea about the “infection” Prince Philip had, really. If it was that serious, it boggles my mind that Harry says he didn’t have the resources to get her help. It makes no sense at all to me; if you don’t know what to do, you find someone who does. If she seriously was considering suicide, I would not have expected her to make the calls, but Harry certainly should have.
Osipi, I agree. HR couldn’t arrange for in-patient for her. She would have to be assessed by a mental health professional who would determine if that is what she needed.
Why would she set them up? I presume she wanted an interview where Meghan claimed that all the problems she had were the fault of the racist RF.. and that's also what Meghan wanted to do. Im sure the whole thing was as planned, that Meghan would say something vague and incoherent implying that the RF and the palace were racists, and Orpah would go "Oh my God is that really true?" rather than subject her to any real questioning.
It's such a totally different world than stepping out on a global platform where fame, accolades and praise and immense coverage by the media and the interest of the people are guaranteed
Like I've said before, its a dog eat dog world and they're wearing Milk Bone underwear now.
Meghan did show that she understood the George V LP which stipulates that her children would become HRH Prince/ss when Charles ascends, but then she was told that new LPs will be issued and her children would not get the HRH Prince/ss styling. She expressed that she thought that it was unfair that King Charles would have some children who are HRH Prince/ss (the Cambridge line) and some who are not (the Sussex line), overlooking the fact that not all monarch granchildren are automatically HRH Prince/ss, just the male line, but she conveniently left out that her children getting the HRH Prince/ss styling under the George V styling is based on gender bias.
