Having gone back and subjected myself to it, let me make a few points about the Megxit interview with Oprah.
I have a really hard time feeling sorry for two multimillionaires venting to their billionaire bestie about feeling imprisoned in a palace where all they had to do was show up, wave, and smile.
Every family that has ever dealt with mental health or addiction issues understands that sometimes the family member suffering from issues becomes attached to someone who makes them feel safe, but who enables their behaviors and separates them from their family.
Meghan Markel appears to have done that to Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor. He was not very stable and the boy who dressed up as a Nazi now wants to throw his family under the bus to distract from his and his wife’s own terrible behavior including his wife’s abusive treatment of others. Their cries about suicidal thoughts and racism are only meant to distract from their own bad behavior and make them victims.
We got to see just one side of a family story that was explicitly designed for both ratings and maximum sympathy.
I see no reason to sympathize when Harry vents that he’s been cut off from his daddy’s wealth, which is derived from duty and tradition that Harry has chosen not just to reject, but to attempt to destabilize in a vain sense of self-pity.
Though I am an American who should relish any attempt to bring down monarchy, what unfolded with Oprah was the worse of millennial venal impulses and shameful disrespect towards a grandparent who is more than just a grandparent, but the monarch of more than a dozen countries with an actual job her grandson wanted no part of and now seeks to undermine.
This was a very public episode of two people with issues yet again making bad choices knowing how many people will see it on TV and believe it must be true because it was on TV.
They dropped a bombshell of racism and waited until the next day to say it was neither the Queen nor her husband who made the supposed remark. Keep in mind the interview was pre-recorded well in advance and they still let that fester and accusations build before mentioning it was neither the Queen nor her husband, who many suspected. Even now they would prefer to let the witch-hunt continue with polite denials of “I’ll never tell you who said it.” If that’s the case, we should not pursue it.
Also, we know there are two factual errors.
First, they claim that they secretly wed several days before the wedding, but that has now been dismissed because a British wedding requires two witnesses and they admit there were none. That makes the supposed wedding null and void.
Second, Markle postulates the Queen, possibly out of racism, denied her son the title of prince. Actually, even this American knows the great grandchildren of the British monarch are denied the title prince or princess. Prince William’s children are excepted because William is in direct line to the throne.
I resent having to discuss this. I think it is shameful that they seeded lies and stories they refuse to expand upon to sick a woke mob on the British royal family. I think it is amazing so many not just care but were willing to hear a carefully choreographed single sided conversation and accept it as truth.
People are stupid and Harry andMeghan are shameful woke millennial grifters.
If the British royal family is that terrible, they should renounce their titles. But notice that they aren’t doing that.
We Shouldn't Care, But…
Thanks for covering this Erick. I didn't watch either, but was interested in "the other side" as the Meghan side was made clear without having to suffer through it. I really appreciated Candace Owens' discussion of the interview. You see, Candace married a "medium-society" British guy who happens to be white, and Candace herself is black (her description of herself). The 17 minute discussion she has with Michael Knowles on the topic is enlightening. Candace refuses to apologize to the woke mob and try as much as they do she hasn't been canceled completely yet. If interested you can find the interview on YouTube.
Now do Don Jr.
