Why Meghan Markle is a fake: what's behind the interview of the year
The interview is a time bomb and large sums of money are being moved for it
Meghan Markle was not wrong when it came to choosing her acting career. The problem, however, is that she may not have fully understood her last role, when she married a member of the British Royal Family. And when she now she wants the whole script to conform to the movie she has in mind, trouble comes. This is how "The Meghan Show" has come together. The interview that Prince Harry's wife has given to the all-powerful American journalist Oprah Winfrey is a time bomb.
The show will not air until Sunday night in the United States. But the 24 seconds that CBS has advanced promise. "How do you feel about Palacio hearing you speak your truth today?" Asks the influential journalist. “I don't know how they can expect that, after all this time, we will simply remain silent if there is an active role that The Company [as the Royal Family is known] is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us. If that means a risk of losing things… well, many have already been lost, ”Meghan responds. The Palace is in great consternation because the accusations are serious. And, at the moment, it is unknown if there is any evidence to prove it.
The Dukes of Sussex - because yes, among the many things they have supposedly lost, their titles are not found - voluntarily left the Royal Family at the beginning of 2020 and last February they officially cut ties.
The decision caused great shock. And if they had decided to start a new life in Los Angeles away from the spotlight, focused on charity work, just as they had promised, it would have been a different scenario. But is not the case. The couple has not only left the Palace, but they do not stop publicly airing their confrontation with the Monarchy, thus giving more ammunition to their critics.
The truth is that it is difficult to understand that the dukes have started several legal battles in the United Kingdom against the tabloids, which they ask for respect for their privacy, to later grant an interview on a prime-time program in the United States talking precisely ... about his life. If you want to disassociate yourself from the Royal Family to work now on your own away from the spotlight, perfect. But you can't have the best of both worlds.
The 1995 interview that Lady Di gave to the BBC - which was seen by more than 20 million people - on her day was considered the "first of the century." Diana recounted in great detail the relationship between Prince Charles and her lover Camilla, explaining that in her marriage "there had always been three people." That caused a great scandal. But it seems that now Meghan is coming to overcome it.
In the United States, all this is being lived like a celebrity show. But in the UK it is causing great commotion by the damage that is being done to the institution. Those who do not want to appear in the press, do not appear. The children of Princess Anne -daughter of Elizabeth II- renounced their titles to lead a life as "normal as possible."
Since leaving the Royal Family, the Dukes of Sussex, however, denounce that there is a smear campaign against them. And the scandal that has been created after the accusation of "bullying" by two of his former employees has done nothing but add fuel to the fire. The broadcast of the interview coincides precisely with the publication of an article published by the reputed The Times, in which workers from Kensington Palace (which was the official residence of the dukes) claim to have suffered "bullying" by Meghan in 2018 .
In a statement, Buckingham Palace - which is responsible for hiring the royal staff - said it was "clearly very concerned" by the allegations and that its human resources team would study the circumstances set out in the article.
For her part, a statement issued by Meghan's spokesperson said that "the Duchess is saddened by this latest attack, particularly as someone who has been harassed herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma." .
A spokeswoman for Oprah Winfrey confirmed that the couple have not collected a single dollar. But there is no doubt that everything that surrounds the program is moving sums of money. The British network ITV is in negotiations to be able to broadcast it on Monday in the United Kingdom for a modest price of 1.5 million euros. Although it is not very clear yet whether it will finally go on the air as it is considered inappropriate due to the delicate state of health of Prince Felipe, the husband of Elizabeth II, who continues to be admitted and at 99 years old has had to be operated on for an existing heart problem.
Harry had always been one of the most beloved members of the Royal Family. But his quotas are now low and the town is making them ugly that they have continued with the program, despite the delicate situation of his grandfather.
During the show, there is a moment when Prince Harry joins the conversation. But it is something very specific because it is clear that it is the "Meghan Show." Everything revolves around her.
According to a CBS spokesperson, the former actress will talk about her stage as a member of royalty -which barely lasted two years-, her marriage, her motherhood and “how she is handling life under intense pressure. public ”. In short, the typical issues that one talks about in a prime-time show in the United States and then asks in the United Kingdom for respect for their privacy.
CBS notes that "he will be joined later by Prince Harry, and the couple will talk about his move to the United States last year and their future plans." Precisely, the first seconds that were advanced at the beginning of this week of the interview, which "trailer" of a movie, were those of Harry drawing parallels between the treatment received by his mother, Princess Diana, and the one who is now his wife.
"I can't imagine what it must have been like for her to go through this process alone all those years ago, because it has been incredibly difficult for the two of us, but at least we have each other," Harry explains, in what has been interpreted as a clear criticism of his father, the heir to the throne, now married to Camilla, who for so many years was his eternal lover.
