Their royal interview with Oprah Winfrey seen on March 8th 2021, revealed unhappiness and fear during Harry and Meghan's life in London. Since we know that the British tabloid press (led by the abominable, anti-royalist Rupert Murdoch) hounded Princess Diana to her death, Harry was quite right to remove his wife from their nauseous racist persecution. On March 9th the self-satisfied White ITV broadcaster Piers Morgan was called out on live television by his Brown colleague Alex Beresford for consistently 'trashing' Meghan Markle on television....and Morgan couldn’t take it. He walked out of the studio and out of his job presenting ITV's Good Morning Britain. We are well rid of him. This was a considerable victory for Meghan.
Well done Alex Beresford, who seems a very pleasant man.
Meghan in Britain had to endure day-to-day racism, micro-aggressions, hypocrisy, and double standards screaming at her from the vicious unstoppable internet and from the tabloids. “I thought they would be fair” said Meghan: but the British tabloids are never ‘fair’ in their peddling of prejudice. I am not surprised that she was unhappy.
Meghan is a victim of the shameful racism in British society. Her mental health was put under strain, and Harry took her away from the hatred. It is tragic that the British have lost this beautiful and talented woman. Her departure is Britain’s loss …. And the Brits have lost their popular and interesting Prince Harry as well.
While I am glad Meghan won her court case against the Sunday Mail - and I hope she and Harry will win their other legal cases - law courts are a very American response to the problem. They are not necessarily the best path for the Royal Family to follow. “The Firm” usually sticks with the advice of 19th century prime minister Benjamin Disraeli about press coverage: “Never complain, Never explain.”
When I have been attacked in the press (very rarely), I have followed that rule and it served me well.
While it might seem smart to meet with Oprah Winfrey this week, I fear that the interview will haunt them repeatedly over the next 40 years. Let’s hope they will find peace and happiness. Perhaps their hoped-for success in USA will mean that one day they will be better appreciated by the British. They might then reintegrate British public life. I pray so. In the meantime I wish them every happiness and good luck in California.
My piece of advice to the young couple: Make sure that you DANCE together. Nothing is healthier, or more romantic.
