The media in the US are like the media everywhere. They want to report the juiciest story so that people will buy their magazine or newspaper. I agree that our media doesn’t know nor probably care about royal rules. Oprah had a really good reputation; in my book she lost tons of credibility. It wasn’t a real interview at all. And even though she is an entertainer, she has done far better interviews.
However, every real person that I’ve talked to (sister, hairdresser, niece who is 31, a few friends) cannot believe they said what they said about Harry’s family. So people here certainly don’t believe everything they read and anyone who has followed Meghan knows how her own family is alienated. Her TV show was on a third rate network and the movies she has done are with a brand that is known for “feel good” but mostly poor acting because they don’t hire big talent. Celebrities here jump on the Sussex bandwagon to get publicity for themselves as well.
Reputable newspapers like The NY Times, Washington Post have given it very little attention. Our tabloids like The National Enquirer will print anything. Between Covid, racial issues, police shootings, and a new President to keep up with, the US has enough on her plate.

But Meghan said she wanted to hit the ground running, didn’t she?I doubt if she loves Meghan. She will love Harry and his kids but I would say that she probably thinks that Meghan roused Harry up to this idea of leaivng the RF and so on, and that without hher Harry would not have done what he did.
its hard to say. If they had told the queen at the beginning of married life that they weren't sure, didn't want to do royal duties, wanted time off etc.. would the queen have let them start with all the work that they did? Surely she would have suggested that they make a slow start, like Will and Kate did? rather than having them appear as full time working royals and then their explosive departure. but perhaps yes they were told "You can't be part timers and take time off to make money, but you can take some time for private life or some kind of job where you are not trying to make a private income." And maybe the queen hoped that that was all clear and that as they had chosen to go on with royal work, they'd be oK but she still tried to work out a plan to give them some time off.
there was also a story that Harry had been offered an estate to run.. but I dont think they'd have wanted that.. so they might have talked about it but ultimately rejected the idea of being gentleman farmers....
