The Earl and Countess of Wessex came across very well in The Telegraph interview, especially down-to-earth on the subject of COVID-19 pandemic by repeatedly recognising their fortunate position (not just financially but also with close knitted family lived nearby). The discussion on the Duke of Edinburgh awards, Prince Philip's funeral and royal engagements/patronages were very thorough. The revelation on The Duke of Edinburgh title conversation two days after Edward and Sophie's engagement was interesting and to some extent endearing. I also enjoyed reading about Lady Louise and Viscount Severn's interest/hobby and their frequent visits to The Queen and late Duke of Edinburgh at Windsor. The images of The Earl and Countess and their dogs (Mole & Teal) at their Bagshot House were beautiful.
As for The Earl and Countess of Wessex trying to dodge the question on the Oprah's CBS interview, I thought it was humorous and clever. I see no problem of Sophie defending Archbishop of Canterbury not knowing who Oprah Winfrey is. To be honest, I do not know Oprah Winfrey until she visited Australia. When the news about Oprah climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, I actually asked my parents who is this famous American celebrity.
At that time, I was under 18, who did not follow Celebrity Pop culture and absolutely hopeless at recognising famous people (even Australians) on the media. Even now, my family do not really follow celebrity news.
Not every UK public figures knows US celebrities (including Oprah) back-to-back, especially if they don't follow entertainment news in Hollywood. Andrew Neil (Chairman of The Spectator & GB News, former BBC Broadcaster) admitted on This Morning that he does not know about the Kardashians and would add nothing to the discussion. The video below is hilarious ?

'There is absolutely nothing I can bring to this conversation, which will be of any use to anybody!'
@afneil makes his opinion on the Kardashians being cancelled very clear! [Face with tears of joy]

At this point, I'm not surprised at Omid Scobie's disgusting out of context tweet and stirring up trouble
. He has made his scathing opinions on Royal Family members other than Harry & Meghan very clear...
