Are Harry and Meghan credible? What doesn't come back in the interview
The echo of the interview with Harry and Meghan, also repeated by TV8, shows no sign of fading, also because there are inconsistencies in the Sussex statements
How credible are Harry and Meghan? Are there really inconsistencies in the statements made in the interview with Oprah Winfrey? Is the Duchess of Sussex just imitating Lady Diana? On these points the tabloids and experts have spared no effort.
If we try to be truly impartial and listen carefully to the words of the Sussexes, we find some inconsistencies. Prince Harry claims that his family "cut his funds" immediately after the announcement of his resignation as a senior member of the royal family. It is not so strange that it happened.
Queen Elizabeth made it clear from the start that you can't be half royal. Translated into money it means that you cannot give up your duties, go to the other side of the world and then demand public money. The monarchy cannot be dislocated. Prince Charles, at least according to what the newspapers write, would have helped his son in any case by paying the advance of the Montecito villa from his own pocket. The contradictions do not end there. Oprah is surprised when Harry and Meghan communicate their inconvenience to her at court.
She realizes that the Duchess has not been able to adapt, but she has doubts about Harry who, after all, in that environment he was born and raised. The Duke of Sussex replies that that "was the only life I knew". On the one hand we can give credit to this statement, but on the other it sounds exaggerated. Harry certainly didn't live beyond the Curtain. We come to the heart of Harry and Meghan's interview, that is, the suicidal thoughts of the Duchess due to pressure from the tabloids and the icy silence of the royal family. Markle says: “At one point I didn't want to live anymore”, also worried by the “death threats” that came to Harry, who would be revoked from the security service. This revocation is part of the discussion already made, concerning public money.
As for the help that the Windsors would not have offered the couple, however, Meghan answers herself when she, at the beginning of the interview, explains: "I have always done what I was asked to do, especially in relationships. with the press. Simple. You just have to answer 'no comment' ". Exactly. The royal family almost never responds to the controversy of the newspapers. It is a policy that safeguards the Crown's aura of untouchability. Harry and Meghan seem, at times, two naive bewildered by the discovery that the Palace, like any environment, has rules.
Kate Middleton managed to internalize them (she too was criticized several times), the same goes for Camilla Shand. Let's take the latter as an example. If the criticisms and insults could be resold, the Duchess of Cornwall could have set up a department store the size of Harrods and become a billionaire in pounds, euros and dollars. Yet she has moved on, carving out a role of her all of her. She wasted no time and serenity behind a battle that wasn't worth fighting, the one with the press, as Harry and Meghan did. Days and months it could have taken the couple to shape their humanitarian initiatives.
The accusations of racism, the alleged comment on how "dark" Archie would have been are a serious problem, which must be solved. If there is no evidence, perhaps difficult to find after some time, it will be the word of Harry and Meghan against that of the unknown culprit. In fact, in the official statement, Buckingham Palace speaks of "reconstructions" that can "vary". Let's not forget the presumption of innocence. On the other hand, it must be taken into account that every day human beings come up with billions of more or less serious nonsense, various unspeakable ones (who knows if an estimate has ever been made). Some congregate in our ears and memory without a shred of self-certification and stay there to try to poison our lives, what perhaps was happening to Harry and Meghan. Never let them stagnate. Sometimes an accurate reply is enough, other times indifference is better. You don't need an interview from Oprah.
Meghan Markle as Lady Diana? From the eyeliner to the Duchess' way of tilting her head to the side, we have seen some resemblance. In this regard, Antonio Caprarica states: "Meghan filled her eyes with black, exactly as Diana did in 1995, circling them with eyeliner. With the difference that Diana told a real pain and tragedy, while here it is not clear what tragedy they are telling ”. Perhaps, continues the journalist, by joining the royal family Meghan Markle would have "discovered with horror that what she expected was a life in the shadows", as the wife of the second son of the heir to the throne. It is a hypothesis that we can neither confirm nor deny. But if Harry and Meghan are so devastated by the experience at court why, for consistency, don't they give up the titles of dukes? Expert Penny Junor made it clear to the Sun that Prince Harry "will regret" the interview, but the Sussexes will be "hard to trust" for the royal family.
