For a couple that left the UK because they wanted privacy I really cannot understand why they felt the need to do this and air their dirty laundry in public.... its pathetic. Needless to say I didn't watch it.

Well Oprah's production company made a tidy sum at least on the interview. CBS reportedly paid 7 to 9 million for the licensing rights to air and distribute the interview both in the US and international markets, CBS was getting $325,000 per 30 second commercial during the interview, about twice the usual rate for that time slot.

The interview did bring in the viewers, in the US 17 million viewers tuned in, with a 2.6 demo rating, no other network came close to that last night.


That is just US ratings for the Live+Same Day viewers.

I didn’t either but I read the highlights on BBC news.

I wish a question was asked about Prince Andrew but I’m guessing that was strictly off limits.

Perfect summary. For once in my life, I'm in agreement with the viewpoint of Piers Morgan who I basically never agree with otherwise. Prince Harry and Megan Markle are the ultimate grifters. What a circus.

The Royal-Family-as-Circus theme really started when Charles was revealed as expressing his desire to be the Royal Tampex for his mistress, in 1989.

It got a serious boost from Andrew's extended 'relationship' with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and Andrew's cringeworthy interview trying to explain it all away.

In Royal-Family-as-Circus terms, Oprah's interview with Harry and Meghan barely moves the needle.

Piers Morgan is acting like the most bitter and vengeful woman scorned. His hatred for Markle contaminates any credible argument he may otherwise have made. And to be so hostile to a pregnant woman with self-admitted mental health struggles on International Women's Day shows a lack of empathy that can only be understood when you remember that he hacked a dead girl's phone.

What I have found most disappointing about all this Harry & Meghan saga is that nobody is asking questions about how they can justify the outrageous wealth and privilege that the Royals have, nor the ridiculous system of titles and baubles and he-bows-to-him-and-she-curtseys-to her.

Hell mend the whole lot of them, Morgan included.

In response to claims from Harry & Meghan that the UK press is bigoted, the executive director of the Society of Editors, Ian Murray, said, "The UK media is not bigoted and will not be swayed from its vital role holding the rich and powerful to account." Apparently he said that without blushing.

I usually never agree with Piers Morgan, a toady amongst toadies, and I realize he is a fame whore who got ghosted by Meghan on her climb to the top. This is going to be a race to the bottom for all involved. What a cabal of critters.

I thought of you when I read this today.

FYI... a new BBC 'lite' type channel is coming to Canada. BBC First. It replaces HiFi Channel which turns out is the one 'bonus' channel we got in our cable package.

Piers Morgan & Katie Hopkins are the only two people I have ever blocked on my twitter feed.

When you break this whole Royal drama down, it's basically a huge family argument, the same thing has probably happened to members of this forum. You tell your parents that you want to leave the UK and move to Canada in search of a better life and your parents get the hump and call you selfish. In the end the grandkids get bigger and time heals.

I think Harry & Meghan deserved their 1hr of fame to explain a few details and now we should let them be. However, there is always three sides to every story, Meghan & Harry's side, the Palace side, and the truth.

He does get a bit hyperbolic with his views on HM, but in general his criticisms seem valid. Surprised he walked off today. Might have been a stunt.
