Harry and Meghan: the sequel
Good morning Royal Ramp Tourist. Got your coffee ready, breakfast at hand? Nice going. Yesterday we already wrote about all the ins & outs surrounding the interview with Oprah on the couch, today it's time for part 2. Because actually there are still quite a few questions...
Why did Harry actually join later?
That's quite strange, isn't it? Or is it just me? The whole ‘come on, let's bring him in too’. In the end, it's about his family, right?
How long do you think (Oprah's team) teased and begged for this interview?
Or was there no teasing at all and did Harry and Meghan just reach out to their friend? Were there any other talk show hosts in the running who are now really bummed that it was Oprah who succeeded ‘again’? She didn't really ask any tough questions...
If Harry and Meghan found the whole mediator thing so devastating, why are they now pouring oil on the fire themselves?
Wanting to tell your side of the story à la, but with Oprah, right? Throwing the disrupted family ties even more into disarray? I don't think you hope for reconciliation with this. The accusation that there were discussions within the palace about how dark Meghan's first baby would be is, eh, also quite devastating for the palace.
Could it be true, the 7 to 9 million?
In the corridors, it is whispered that the rights were sold for no less than 7 to 9 million to the American television channel CBS. What would Meghan and Harry actually keep from this?
Buckingham Palace is still silent on the interview, will they come up with a response?
According to various British media, there is indeed crisis consultation behind the scenes. A royal reporter from the Daily Express tweeted on Monday that everyone authorized to speak to the media has turned off their phone, making it unlikely that there will be any response at all.
And just in between: isn't Meghan the perfect interview candidate?
Nothing politically correct nonsense: just open and honest. As if you're sitting on the couch with your best friend and a good glass of white. A beautiful, intelligent woman who reinforces every answer with concrete examples. The dream of every journalist.
Isn't it quite funny that Meghan says she had to look up the verses of the national anthem herself on YouTube?
No one has trained her, according to her, to be royal. Ah no, hence the mistake with those skin-colored tights, Meghan. There you go.
How bizarre is it that she had to hand in her passport and car keys?
And that she says she maybe went out twice in four months outside Buckingham Palace? Are we talking about a prison or what?
Anyway, with higher viewing figures than the Superbowl, we are indeed talking about The. Conversation. Of. The. Year. If you want to see it: tune in tonight at 8:30 PM on Net5.
