Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, take further speeches on Friday morning for their broadcast interview with Oprah Winfrey Sunday on CBS.
The couple said the press was one of the driving forces behind their decision to move to the US, but the UK royal family has relied on the media for generations to support.
The UK tabloids seem to have their knives for Meghan explosive interview, and with Buckingham Palace investigating allegations of harassment against the Duchess, CBS News reports that Holly Williams reports that a total war seems to be taking shape: Harry and Meghan on one side, the palace on the other.
Amid allegations that the Sussex settlement is deaf, a “Good Morning Britain” presenter said the timing of the next interview was described as “unfortunate.”
Screen personality Piers Morgan called her “dirty beyond beliefs.”
“I don’t understand what they want or what they think they will win,” another commenter said.
With Harry’s grandfather Prince Philip in the hospital and a deadly pandemic, the couple is revealing all about leaving real life behind.
In a sound bite from the interview, Winfrey asks, “How do you feel at the palace when you hear you tell your truth today?”
“I don’t know how they could have expected that, after all this time, we would still be silent if there is an active role that ‘The Firm’ is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us,” Meghan said in the preview.
British comedian Gina Yashere, based in Los Angeles, told CBS News that the criticism received across the pond is another example of British racism, which she described as more subtle than variety. American.
“I wouldn’t do this interview with Oprah, they wouldn’t be in California, if it weren’t for the way they were denounced, the way they were harassed and harangued while performing their royal duties,” Yashere said.
While there was joy in the country when Harry married his beautiful and charismatic girlfriend, a recent opinion poll found that only 32% of the British public viewed her favorably.
An ambitious, self-assured and outspoken American horrified the British establishment, said journalist Ayesha Hazarika.
“British culture is still incredibly socially conservative,” he said. “And British tabloids and British educated society prefer to see women of the royal family seen but not heard.”
This is a game the Duchess doesn’t want to play.
Meghan’s supporters have noted that while the palace is investigating her behavior, she has never publicly announced an investigation into the allegations against Prince Andrew, a former friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
