The American actress, who married into the world’s most famous family in 2018 and who had all the privileges and care and service she could think of, did not feel “heard” enough.
This is the main message of the allegedly groundbreaking interview that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave to the world’s most famous presenter, Oprah Winfrey, on Monday night.
And then there are a few more messages. About alleged suicide thoughts over boulevard news. That their little son was never supposed to get the title of prince, because “no one in the royal family knew how dark he would be.” About a secret wedding, which allegedly took place three days before the actual wedding. About remembering who ever made someone cry over whom.
In short, it was evident how deeply unhappy this woman was throughout her “service” with the royal family, and the only option really was to leave. Where is poor Cinderella digging.
Surprisingly, it was not Kim Kardashian and her euphemistically emotional family who delivered all these messages, but Duchess Meghan – and her husband, the younger son of the next British king.
It happened on CBS, and the two-hour talk show was watched live by tens of millions of people around the world. While the royal family, led by the queen, celebrated Commonwealth Days on Sunday and called for the words of their queen to unity, respect, respect, friendship and reconciliation, Harry and Meghan decided on “some shocking testimonies” as television linked to their trailer show.
And they kept these words. As the saying goes, everyone is their architect.
The unprecedented performance of the “new American royals”, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, has enjoyed much attention from tabloid as well as public service media around the world for many weeks.
Forbes, for example, pointed out a few days ago that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may have no choice but to provide similar talks – their other incomes are declining rapidly, which colleagues in the US newsroom have thoroughly mapped detailed economic analysis.
How is it really? Hard to say. In any case, for Harry, who has explicitly avoided or even despised the media for the last almost 30 years, it was a truly revolutionary step in connection with the voluntary appearance at Oprah.
The media has been holding back since Harry’s summer (unless he’s just gotten into a scandal like a Nazi uniform at a student party), and the young prince himself has kept journalists away for most of his life. He was known to fight his private demons, it was known that at the latest from his youth and adolescence, this young man, who would never be king, was explicitly hated by the media.
After all, he has a good and very understandable reason for this – it was a team of tabloid photographers who literally killed his mother, Princess Diana, in Paris at the end of August 1997. But only with Meghan by his side did Harry declare war on the boulevard.
It’s hard to say exactly when it happened. In the expensively renovated Frogmore Cottage, paid for with taxpayers’ money? At the infamous baby shower party with Serena Williams, where Meghan snorted with a jet and security paid with money from every ordinary British after criticizing society’s inability to fight global poverty?
Did it begin with her handwritten private letter, which was voluntarily handed over to the tabloid media by the Duchess’s father, the unhappy Thomas Markle? Or perhaps by the offensive comments of Meghan’s American friends who pulled an unfortunate racial card into the media?
According to her current statements, Duchess Meghan was clearly convinced from the very beginning that the British would not accept her because they would not understand her. In that case, both sides could “try” as they pleased – this could not work.
If a newly married young woman gets the impression that her emancipated, feminist approach is not understood, if she lacked diversity and the rules she had to follow as a new duchess, all she has to do is really shrug and wish the young lady happiness where she will be heard. in her opinion better.
Recall that the queen, now almost ninety-five, was just over twenty when she had to sit on the throne and take over the largest empire in the world at the time. To this day, 2.4 billion people on our planet consider it their head of state – and, surprisingly, 2.4 billion people are relatively well culturally, socially, nationally and racially diversified.
Yes, this queen really didn’t have time to think about whether her latte was organic enough and whether this or that commentary in the newspaper illuminated her activities in a sufficiently positive light. The queen simply had to work, regardless of her feelings.
She also did not consider whether someone would flatter or unflatteringly occupy her during her pregnancy and whether someone would give her enough time to say what he wanted to tell the world. The queen gave birth to her four children as a hard-working woman, practically on the march, and soon returned to her duties – which is the service of the homeland.
The emancipation of the Duchess of Sussex does not really have to teach this family with a thousand-year tradition. Already in the 16th century, Elizabeth I of Tudor, and in the 19th Queen of Victoria, fought with her. And, of course, the mother of the current queen, Elizabeth, later called the queen mother, who did not hesitate to stay in war-bombed London and personally visited families affected by Luftwaffe attacks.
Whether it was or not, the conversation with Oprah now shows that Duchess Meghan has always longed for publicity. After a lot of publicity. But it can’t stand negative publicity. He wants to be seen, but he does not want to be seen in a negative light. He wants to be heard, but he can’t stand any criticism.
Prince Harry, he really does what he can, and he does it honestly and guilelessly. He tries to protect his family and ensure a happy life. May he succeed and find their happiness in America. They can do it. America doesn’t really have many of its royal families.
The Windsors are simply not the Kardashians. They don’t shoot a talk show full of shocking statements, they don’t promote cosmetics on Instagram, they don’t check every shot that gets into the media, they don’t need to comment on everything. There is no drama queen who is just a real queen. Unfortunately – or rather, thank God.
God save the queen.
