What about the Queen’s privacy?
OPRAH WINFREY is one of the smartest women on the planet. It’s why she’s a billionaire. It’s why when Harry and Meghan invited her to their wedding she went like a shot. Not because she was overcome with excitement at being a royal wedding guest (although she must have been curious). And not because of Meghan, who was a two bit actress in a Netflix soap opera at the time. But because, even back then, Oprah, always alert to the main chance, had her beady eye on the Big Interview.
She wasn’t Meghan and Harry’s friend back in 2018, having met them just once before the wedding, and I suspect she isn’t now. But everything she’s done to help them, e.g. get their first home in LA, introduce them to all the right people, will have been done with a view to the big prize.And now she’s got it.
This interview will be a world first, which will make her many more millions, a few of which will undoubtedly be thrown into Meghan and Harry’s gold-plated begging bowl.
But anyone who believes Oprah will be content with the couple soppily rambling on about their love story and their good works are as green as they are cabbage-looking. She wants never-beforeheard dirt on the House ofWindsor.
Yes, it’ll be wrapped up in concern and caring and there’ll be lots of references to “mental health”. But make no mistake, Oprah wants a scoop that’s going to create headlines around the world.
Which is why what Meghan and Harry are doing is so despicable. They are betraying the Queen and the Royal Family, which they claim they had to flee a continent to escape, and making money on their backs.
This is a couple forever screaming about having their privacy invaded – yet they’re happy to invade and compromise the Royal Family’s privacy.
Without her marriage to Harry, Meghan would, at 39, be an ageing actress appearing in the odd B-list romcom. But she knows her marriage and her royal associations are her ticket to vast wealth, so all her protestations about being desperate for privacy are disingenuous tosh. She’s cashing in on her biggest asset.
And what really stinks is that this pair know the Royal Family won’t sue. The Windsors’ motto is “Never
A NEW poll says Brits chat for an hour a day and their favourite subject is what they’ve seen on TV. Of course it is! None of us has been anywhere or done anything. The highlight of our week is a Tesco shop, the Amazon delivery driver knocking at the door and the discovery of some Netflix or Prime series that we haven’t already seen and can recommend to our friends. This is currently what passes for normal life!
complain, never explain”. So whatever whingeing, self-pitying, damaging drivel they come out with in this interview they know it won’t be challenged. Which is exactly how they like it.
The Daily Star newspaper had it dead right this week with the headline: “Publicity-shy woman tells 7.87 billon people
I’m pregnant.” Then the following day: “Publicityshy couple tell all to Oprah.”
And that’s the problem, isn’t it? Harry and Meghan are blind to the mind-boggling hypocrisy in what they demand for themselves – and what they do to others.
Everything they do now is at odds with their insistence that they want a private life because their multimillion-dollar income depends on the total opposite. And their only value to those paying them the big bucks is their royal association.
It’s why they clung limpet-like to their honorary roles – which the Queen yesterday took away – while heaping manure on the family and institution that provided them. Even now they see themselves as perpetual victims – of the Royal Family, of the British Press, of the British people (who Harry thinks are racists) – when the truth is, they’re unseeing hypocrites who view every contradictory thing they do through the prism of their own victimhood.
People who don’t seek publicity can justifiably ask for privacy. Meghan and Harry, who crave international publicity like a drug addict craves crack, cannot!
