CBS released a teaser of the pre-recorded interview of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex with Oprah Winfrey, which will be broadcast on March 7. The interview is also the couple's first sit-down since their engagement. According to a press statement made by CBS, Oprah will first speak one-on-one with the Duchess and then, the Duke will join the conversation.It is expected that the interview will cover everything from their marriage and philanthropic work to their baby Archie and what life has been like since the couple started to live in Los Angeles. "Oprah with Meghan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special" will be broadcast on Sunday, March 7 at 8 pm EST on CBS.
For the interview, the Duchess wore a belted dress by Armani. The Duchess completed her outfit with a necklace by designer Pippa Small, earrings by Canadian retailer Maison Birks, and a diamond bracelet which is believed to be a Cartier heirloom from Princess Diana's collection.GIORGIO ARMANI Long triple silk georgette dress

The dark eye liner and nude lips reminds of kate in her early day as duchess. still think the tv interview was to raise profile in usa for their brand and buy people sympathy. Come across as whiny millionaires. That's one thing I don't understand about overprivileged people...every thing is dramatized, a struggle and affects their mental health.
ReplyDeleteGiven their grandfather still sick in the hospital it is just not very considerate to run this show. jen
I totally agree with you, Jen. I am also tired of whining millionaires...but even more tired of these two. Fare - thee - well.
DeleteRenee
Ok - we all know the black eyeliner was Princess Di's signature look but it's overdone now. All the royal girls would look better with less of it. While loving Armani, the colour of this dress and the heels are all wrong for the setting. I actually feel for the couple - most people have great empathy for all Harry has been through but he should get a new therapist - walking in the steps of his mother with these tell-all interviews, 'poor privileged me' stories and running away while chasing notoriety are what killed his mother. A better example would be Countess Sophie who quietly weathered the storms of the English press through scandal to become a respected pillar of service for her country. There was an alternate, safer, less notorious path - he should have chosen to heal in private. We all would have got bored with Megan after a while and the press would have moved on. Then the focus would have only been on their service - now it will forever be on his estrangement from his people.

i totally agree with u. and she is such a total actress, makes this pathetic face every time, oh my god , i m such a victim. they left the royal family to live a private life supposedly, but we want to give an interview to oprah. they r total hypocrites.
DeleteFaiza , agree with you. If it was me I'll just quietly do works and grant no interviews or whatsoever. Use that quiet time to heal and grow privately. But you see, the whole hollyweird celeb mentality is they can't stand to suffer alone. Everyone must know about it. Oh well, to each their own .jen.
DeleteI agree, however I doubt they would consider Prince Phillip's health when neither considered her dad when he had his heart attack before the wedding. They come across as selfish and entitled. Jay jay
DeleteBeautiful Armani dress.
DeleteOn the wedding day, I always wondered why Oprah was the only non member of Windsor family to sit on the same side as the Queen. It seems like she was promised an exclusive. This whole thing was planned from the word go! Sarah
I do think she has fuller, more pouty lips.....Fitzhugh
ReplyDeleteThat was the first thing I noticed, her new, fuller lips.
DeleteI noticed that, too. I think it's due to her pregnancy. I have a few friends whose lips "blew Up" while pregnant. mt
DeleteNo Anonymous 1/3/21 15:08, simply a fuller face. I'm so tired of them. Can't they simply stop and just quietly & silently enjoy their fabulous wealth? No? Too bad, Frieda
DeleteI hope this interview allows them to air their grievances and move on. At some point they have to enter the next phase of their lives,. Then, maybe they'll get the privacy they keep saying they want.
ReplyDeleteYou can hope they'll move on but I doubt it. They'll milk this for all the millions and more. After all what else do they got really. Same whining and preaching... But back to fashion, the black dress is too mournful and heavy for daytime. cara
DeleteI think the dress in itself is beautiful, very elegant, flow-y without being made of too flow-y material. But she comes across like a widow, I'd have preferred something in a lighter colour and more spring-like. Still, I think she's very much trying to remind one of Diana in the Bashir interview and trying to look tragic.
DeleteShe is not royal anymore. And he is his wife hubby. So why we must read about them. They loves privacy. So what?
ReplyDeleteMarie Anguelique
Then, don’t and spare us your commentary. mt
DeleteThe dress somehow comes across as much too gloomy in this fresh, green and blooming environment.
ReplyDeleteFor exclusive shopping or a cool evening event, I would love it. But then, like the model above, with flat sandals.
In addition, Meghan manages to completely cover her incredibly beautiful legs with this black cloth.
You only see her much too high heels, which in turn leaves the impression that from a feminist point of view she lives in the post-war period.
But maybe she perceives this time as post-war, then I hope for peace for all four.
Omgoodness! Why is she wearing high heels in a gravel garden?!!!
Deleteincredibly beautiful legs. Wow, you must be very funny. brit
Delete??! Feminist, high heels? That is the most chauvinistic comment in a while....
DeleteAlso, Meghan has many pretty attributes but her legs aren’t precisely the best.
And those talking about fuller lips as to intimate that she is having cosmetic procedures...wow! it just happens to many women during pregnancy, although to be fair, I don’t see any significant difference.
Love the dress, is elegant quite appropriate for an expectant mother, much better that some choices on her first one.

She's not beauty Queen. Totally average woman.
DeleteLea
I Love Armani, simple, elegant and of the highest quality. Since Meghan is a duchess her fashion style grew in a very positive direction. LA
ReplyDeleteLovely dress and makeup. However, their timing is always selfish.
ReplyDeleteGrandDad Phillip is in hospital, a man who spent his whole life in service for his country without a complain.
Instead of appreciating what the British people gave her, a title to make lots of money with. Thomas Markle gave the letter to the press, why should we take the blame!

ReplyDeleteBoth need to grow up and face reality.

I have to admit that her eye make-up is very beautiful. But her dress together with the super high heels and then in this graveyard colour is a flop for the occasion. Frieda

Her hair and make-up look great. I love her accessories. The dress is pretty but not my favorite on Meghan. I think something shorter where you could see more of her legs would be more flattering.
ReplyDeleteE.B.B.
I agree, it's a lovely dress but a little bit shorter might be nicer for a seated interview. It looks shorter on the model than on her.
DeleteVery nice jewellery. Her face is fuller, her pregnancy-glow is back. Her hair and make-up are very well done.
Harry is looking nice too. I really enjoyed his interview with James Cordon. J
The look is drama in optima forma: her eyes, the black dress ( in itself beautifull but especially chosen for the mood I think).

DeleteThis is everywhere. Can't escape it.
I think the, in itself good , dress is chosen in black on purpose to underline the “ tragic” expression of M., as if life is hard and hardly bearable and Diana died yesterday. The tragedy for her is that her husband cannot come to terms with the grieve he had to endure as a child. Come on, you are a nearly 40 year old woman! mt
ReplyDeleteOMG how many children lost their mothers?
DeleteLife must go on.
He's an adult man. It's so boring.

We don't know what will be said in the interview. I'm hoping they'll say what they need to say and move on, for everyone's sake ! No-one can grow, if they insist on living in the past ! I also hope it won't be an insight into the privacy of other members of BRF, as they seem very keen on keeping their own privacy.
ReplyDeleteI do think, at sometime Harry will probably take up US citizenship, and the whole debate about their titles will also be resolved !
Fashion wise, as always Meghan knows how to put herself together and what she's comfortable wearing. Harry, however, might want to invest in a new pair of shoes ! You can't have your wife sat next to you in an Armani creation, and you're sat there with holes in your shoes !
Ana
I really hope this will be the closure they need to move on. They need to focus in the bright side instead of the past. They have so many things to be thankful a beautiful and healthy family, a gorgeous home, economic stability, all these in the middle of a pandemic.
ReplyDeleteI don't care how bad they had it but if your grandfather is in a hospital any decent human being would pull out of an interview and focus on the family. Good heaven, can't even let a 99 year old man be in peace while in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteThese two have no empathy or an ounce of compassion left in them.
Wishing a speedy recovery to prince Philip. It's hard being in a hospital when you're old. You gets confused and sundowning very easily. nina
@Nina: Pull out of an interview? You do realise that this interview is NOT LIVE, don't you? It has already been taped several weeks ago BEFORE Phillip was sent to hospital.
DeleteYou also realize that the program is the property of a US television network and NOT H&M, don't you? The TV station can air the tape whenever they want to. Phillip is not their royal family and will not affect their broadcast schedule due to illness. (The Queen, William and Kate are also giving a televised interview on the same day while Phillip is in hospital..why are you not complaining about that? Oh yeah, I know why...)
It is obvious that you and countless others posting here are haters towards H&M. I don't know (or care) what they've personally done to all of you. You seem to know them personally better than I do. But your hateful, ignorant comments to blame them for, or to criticize every single thing they do is disgusting and tiresome.
I don't know why it's so hard for all of you to scroll past something you despise so much. Believe me H&M would have no problem completely ignoring you without hesitation if they ever came across you.

Well said, Anon 9:13. This blog is nowadays full of miserable and rude people who seem to compete who can write the most cheapening comment about Meghan, Tessy etc.
DeleteTo me it's inconceivable how it's so very hard to just ignor the articles you don't like. I never read of people I do not like, but they are not many :)
Only the blog administrator has the right to decide what she is releasing here, the readers decide what they want to read, so simple it is.
I really miss those days when people commented only clothes and had good manners. Most of them have disappeared from here and I'm not surprised.
I really like Meghan's dress and especially her shoes. Maybe Harry's shoes look a little bit poor in this case, but it's only hilarious.

Harry, yes losing your mother is tragic and will never completely leave you. But, throughout your life you have had the support of your father, grandmother, grandfather, brother, later sister-in-law, your uncles and aunts on both sides, which is more than many people have. You have the money to pay for great therapy; the freedom to work or not work due to your family's wealth, which again, many people don't have. So while it is tragic and sad and no doubt psychologically difficult for you, do you really need to act as though nobody has ever suffered as much as you have? J.
ReplyDeleteHow very true.
DeleteJ, thank you for pointing out the obvious that anyone can see except them. If they dislike royal so much why still hanging on to tittles. K
DeleteTt à fait d'accord. Perdre un parent est difficile, on n'oublie jamais mais notre devoir est d'avancer. Ne rien reprocher aux autres.

I am very disappointed that you are bringing articles about people who are harming the monarchy.

I'm sorry for your loss. Many of us work through our grief, accept the things happen in life and move on to become productive members of society. But I'm afraid he will latch on to this tragedy and use it every chance to make money and an excuse for all his failings in life.
DeleteI find it jarring they went through with the interview and filming it while prince Philip is sick in hospital. Talk about empathy and decency, which they don't seem to have much.
They always want the last word in edgewise it seems. penny
We are offered a post of a dress from a reputable designer, good jewelry, the prince in his gray outfit, a beautiful garden scene and comprehension (either you have it or you don't)
ReplyDeleteof the scene flies out the window. Instead we are treated to fake outrage for a family that will never acknowledge you, and comments about mothers, grandfathers etc. NONE of whom are in the picture. Poor schooling on display. July
Meghan seems to be at that uncomfortable stage of pregnancy where this type of roomy dress fits best. Clean lines with the contrasting motif to break up the basic black. Some of the screen shots chosen are not the best, but the color shows off her complexion. (Black is worn year round) The loose tendrils elongate her face. Her makeup is neither too much or too little. You can see her freckles. More than likely those shoes were only worn during the sit down part of the interview, and the wide angle shows that there is a outdoor rug in a brick or gravel pattern under the furniture. In the close up shot she seems quite serious. Part of Harry's charm is that he always looks a little disheveled. He seems to be enjoying his wife's home cooking a little too much. :) July
ReplyDeleteI like the dress and how they are dressed. Love the setting.
ReplyDeleteThis is filmed in Oprah's garden according to celebrity gardener Jamie During. Jayne
DeleteYes, the setting is beautiful. I can agree with that.

ReplyDeleteHe says that he was suffucated with British media. That's funny before this woman came to his life he was perfectly fine. Everybody knows royal family is in every news. If they really wanted to respect the British monarchy they wouldn't care about with the tabloids
ReplyDeleteI can't understand this middle-aged couple ( about 40 years old) - why they are still complaining when they live such a privileged life. Harry Mountbatten constantly talked about the death of his mother, who died because she got into a car with her lover and a drunk driver. It is boring. My father died of a stroke after three months in a coma in the same year as Diana, leaving a widow with three teenagers. I remember how hard we had to worke - my mother and we the children to handle with life, to do university and achieve something. And we never complained, never. He's a spoiled boy who has always had privileges, but he wasn't number 1 in Britain, so he is complainig. I'm not sorry for him. PS: I haven't heard anything more ridiculous than his environmental challenges and calls to some (no one knows what) action.
ReplyDeleteDaniela
Daniela- thanks for sharing your journey and I'm sorry your dad passed away. Most people grieve then accept and move on like you did to make the most of life. I'm surprised his therapist ( if there's one) has not intervene... I think privately many people, including his or their so call friends are saying the same thing you're saying. But I think they surrounded themselves with yes men and yes women that no one say anything and just let the disaster unfold itself. pat
Delete@Daniela. Your story is specific to you. There is on one size fits all in recovering from tragedy. You are no better than the tabloids. Neither of these two has celebrated their 40th birthday so you begin from a place of untruth, completely discrediting yourself. Anyone can be an armchair therapist but if you have not lived in someone's shoes, your opinions are flawed or speculative at best. This young man grew up with parents who were miserable because they did not love each other. His world collapsed in a short space of time with the divorce, moving between parents and then the sudden death of his mother. It may be irrational to blame the press, but that is his opinion. If everyone is entitled to their opinion, then so is he.
DeleteThe mantra of 'stiff upper lip' is not enough when it is necessary to cuddle up to someone an pour your heart out for whatever reason at age 12. No amount of riches compensates for this. There are wealthy people who committed suicide, meaning that privilege and comfort were not enough to stick it out.
He lived in an unhappy marriage. Why have his wife fall out of love with him because he is powerless to protect her from the leaks of their private life, daily tabloid stories, and the shackles imposed on them by the courtiers? No amount of duty and sacrifice will keep him warm at night. Neither will playing the jester and hanging around his brother's family. He has to find his own way. America has no royalty so he will not be 1 there either. There are other royals who live outside of their countries without this fanfare. 3,4, and 5 for Luxembourg live in Germany, and before then France.
July
PS. I believe Mr. Fayed was a boyfriend, a much different meaning.
@July Thank you for your rational voice in this sea of hatred. To make judgements on the way a person grieves is unconscionable. I could very easily make judgements about the people that claim to just move on after a significant death. The reason that I would never do that is that I don't know these people or the circumstances of their relationship or loss. We don't fully know Harry's either. We only think we do. We know what is reported, that is, unless it has been related to us by Harry himself. Grief is a very private thing. How many people have to grieve for the entire world to see, then endure the world's armchair psychologists rating that effort like an Olympic sport? If these judges used the brains they were born with, they would realize that the glimpses they get or hear about are only the tip of the iceberg. We aren't privy to their entire lives and shouldn't be. Every person, rich or poor, famous or royal or the guy next door, deserves privacy. You can't judge what you don't know. How a person grieves can't be judged at all. Grieving is unique to each person. Harry took it upon himself to get help, something that is out of the norm for a royal. He has come out in support of mental health awareness. Again, relating to his own experiences, he was able to start a dialogue unlike any other royal before him. There are a lot of assumptions about Harry now. Choosing to remember his mother, or choosing to have more control over the press in his life is not a sign of grieving. It is very healthy to remember his mother and keep her in his life. He can tell Archie about her just like William does with his children (not gossip, William has said this in interviews).
DeleteAs I have said before, the comments here are just a small example of what no one should have to live with. This kind of grilling is usually reserved for criminals. Yes, there are mental health problems at play here, but the abnormal obsession with two strangers and the compulsion to fantasize about their motives are the problems. There could always be a kernel of truth in some of it. I honestly don't know. This has become hate for sport. The inability to treat others as you would want to be treated, or to think about how you would feel if a member of your family was being treated this way is truly frightening. For those that think they shouldn't be reported on this blog anymore, stop commenting. Your comments are your votes to keep them here. You should be able to figure out how this works. ~d
Oh no, what a coincidence! 🤪 She is impersonating (or better: trying to) Diana since the very first day. She is obsessed with her. And the dress ist dreadful. Looks like a huge seagull pooped on her shoulder. LA
ReplyDeleteYour comment too funny. But you're right, there's something creepy about it. I think she was going for that combo of cleopatra and martin bashir interview look. Js
Delete@Penny no, you don’t get to say I am sorry for your loss, and then blast him for not knowing to cope and accuse him of horrible things. Saying that you are sorry does not exculpate your unkind and hurtful words. Funny how you try to falsely sound sorry and then attacking this man,
ReplyDeleteI fully understand why they left the UK. What a life to wake up every day to lies, rumors, racists insults to his wife and child. Reading comments like yours I fully comprehend.
Hopefully they will be able to thrive and do whatever they want with their lives and that is none of your business,

Mp, I'm sorry but your dictating whether I can or can't be sorry to someone else loss is dictatorial to say the least. I have sympathy to anyone whoever lost a loved one, harry included. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. As for attacking him, far from it. I'm only voicing an opinion . Just like you're voicing your opinion and outright attacking me. So you see, you're not that nice after all. Look at yourself in the mirror first mp. penny
DeleteI don't like the black dress. Too severe and mourning.
ReplyDeleteIn my humble opinion they should not have done the interview, at least not at this time. Give it a few years, focus on the new life and family then sit down reflect upon it , where they were, where they went and what they accomplished.
Doing it now scream attention seeking, revenging and petulant. They just need to cool it and do great things and their actions speak for itself. But, I can see the mentality of everything must happen now.now.

ReplyDeleteThe Times is not supposed to be a gossiping newspaper.
I think Daniela here below wrote very rightly : "I do not think the press and the media in Britain persecuted his wife. I think Harry and Meghan are looking for media attention, but only as long as the journalists write nice things about them. The couple can't stand criticism ".
DeleteFrom my side there is no hatred in writing these words.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteThe irony in all of this is that Meghan and Harry want to control press access; thus, they chose to have an interview on their terms with Oprah which is their right. As others have stated, this interview was previously taped (who knows exactly how long ago) and depending on the agreement with the Sussexes, was edited and scheduled to be released in March by the network. Perhaps now due to Prince Philip’s ill health the Sussexes may (or may not - who knows?) prefer that the broadcasting of the interview be postponed.
ReplyDeleteHowever, since the network makes these decisions, they have lost control (unless they had a “we can cancel this if we change our minds” clause which is highly doubtful) of when the interview airs. You may try, but you cannot control the press. Gloria
Here's the thing. If this couple is getting airtime to say whatever they felt about the uk and RF etc, I think it's only fair their royal staff and aids have their ndas remove so they too can talk about their experiences. Now, that would be a more balanced picture and worth watching. jk
ReplyDeleteITV in Britain has just announced that they have bought the rights to broadcast the Oprah interview next Monday night from 9-11 pm UK time, 20 hours after it airs in the US. ITV paid £1M.
ReplyDelete@Penny I didn’t attack you, only stating facts about your comment. Once again you don’t pretend to be sorry for somebody and then go full attack, is like petting a dog and then kick him, or like the natives say.. speaking with forked tongue....and no, not you or anybody else is entitled to pass judgement on these people, you don’t know them, you don’t pay their lifestyle, they don’t make decisions that affect you, you don’t have to read about them, in other words your judgement about their decisions is none of your business.. simple.
ReplyDeleteMP
Yes, you did attack her. You also pretty much accused her of lying. Not to mention the dictatorial attitude about what she can or cannot have an opinion on.
DeleteIt is perfectly possible to feel sorry for a person's loss and the pain involved - and think said person is a bit of a prat. It's called being an adult and not seeing everything as black and white.
But you carry on being sanctimonious if it makes you feel better.

DeleteAnonymous 4/3/21 20:36: I don't think she was accused of trying to be 'mean and hateful'.

Anon 19:17 Le relating a "funny" quote from a newspaper discussion after a diatribe of all that is wrong and terrible in the world right now was mean and hateful. Meghan was being interviewed about the trip. During the course of interview, she was asked how she was doing. The interview was not only about her, but came around to how she was doing. There had been a lot of negative press in the UK, and a new pregnancy. The takeaway from the interview was that one soundbite, not what was important about their visit. To present that quote, in that way, was unnecessary and spreading another of many untruths. ~d
DeleteJs, you are correct that this couple is privileged, but when have you heard them complain about their lives? Their only statements from their lips have been about the difficulty of dealing with the daily made up stories about them by the tabloids, and as you can see by this blog the nastiness of the people that devour these publications. I don’t much care about their decision, it does not affect me or anybody in the whole world, it’s only relevant to them and their families, and I don’t have any idea of what has transpired.
ReplyDeleteThe press has found a gold mine, everything they publish is consumed, true or not, and people are just acting like if they were criminals, drunks, thieves ( don’t want to mention adulterous like dad and stepmom) . They simply walked away from a life style that they don’t want, people may disagree about how it has been executed, but my goodness it doesn’t deserve such hatred.

When have I heard them complain about their lives? Regularly, they always complain. Privileges, status and money go in one pocket with media attention. Take it or leave it.
DeleteIf they lived a quiet private life, the press would give them peace. I am already tired of the constant drama created by this "victim".

I sincerely hope that after this Oprah interview they can get on with their lives and do whatever it is that they want to do. They can’t be victims forever. I’m tired of gossipy news on royals, can they all get back to doing their jobs (those still in the firm and those who have decided to carve out their own paths). Since all palace notices said they are still beloved members of the family, then it is more like Henry and Meghan lost their jobs and now have gotten new ones. Good luck to them on their path, and hopefully the media leaves them alone.

As the elephant in the room, Covid 19 has revealed several things. Royals in general do not bring much to the table. It is the governments that are tasked with finding solutions to problems. Royals act as cheerleaders to 'raise the morale' of the people, something we should all be doing since it is our brothers and sisters who are on the front lines experiencing the disaster in real time. Meanwhile, the clock continues running on their daily expenses and displays of pomp, no matter how empty the public coffers are.
ReplyDeleteThat said...
The attitude of the palace since the announcement of this Oprah interview is beginning to make the Sussex claims deserve a second look. Instead of waiting to see what is said, because teasers seldom reveal as much detail as the viewer hopes, they have decided to fight fire with fire. For instance, Meghan wore earrings donated by an Arab prince who was allegedly involved in murder...who knew the list of their wedding gifts? the bully email was ...leaked? Now, people are lining up to say they were bullied, as if royals got their titles and possessions by being nice to others.
There is no reason why this intra family dispute should be splashed in the papers everyday. 'The crown always wins' may well be true, but at what price. There will be no winners in this. Girls with titles who understand this 'lifestyle' wanted no part of these two brothers so as not to be subjected to this type of scrutiny. The 'palace' forgets that there is a whole new generation of little children who will be in the same position in about 10-15 years, with families warning their children to stay away from that circus.
Leaving to make it on your own is always seen as positive, with the parents doing as much they can to help the young couple get started. This is just sad on all fronts. July
Very well said. Maybe once the Queen is gone, Charles will have the courage to make some much needed changes. If he doesn't, there will not be a next generation of royals. No one would be foolish enough to want to be a part of this life. ~d
Delete@July, I absolutely agree. I will never say that bullying in the work place should be ignored, but how convenient to resuscitate this issue and make it public just now.
ReplyDeleteThe Palace response is the best strategy to let M&H know that they will resort to anything to disqualify this woman. They are going full Diana on her, remember when they called her a “loose cannon “ and started a campaign of leaks to the press, rumors and innuendo?
I am giving the Crown the benefit of the doubt, that at the end they will make a true statement about the worker’s complaints. It must be a great feeling to read that your family is going totally public about investigating your pregnant wife, taking into account that they never pronounce themselves about anything controversial. Hard to believe that all these years none of the staff has had any issues with their employers, but now Meghan must be put in her place. Also interesting is that they haven’t launched any investigations about Andrew’s “rumors” , or maybe they have , but didn’t let the people know about it......yep the public doesn’t care about that, he gets a Mulligan, after all he is a Royal and he is entitled to his peccadillos. I am just speculating here, but I can see why Harry walked away, if this is being done publicly, I can’t imagine how it would have been in private.

Hope this topic comes to an end soon as with all the time I need to read the
ReplyDeleteL-O-N-G comments, I'm starting to run out of tea bags.
There is another option....

The more I see this drama unfolds, the more I felt william advice was a sound one. The royal family is not for everyone and when there's an unhappy former member everybody pays the price. Very unfortunate. When it comes to family sometimes it's better to say nothing at all. ds
ReplyDeleteLe or js or whoever you are, not true facts, only your biased opinion. They have never complained about not having a privileged life, if that’s what they wanted they would’ve continued the lifestyle of the firm full of luxury, and privilege funded in great part with taxpayers money, but they didn’t , they didn’t even accepted a title for their child. Now for better or worse they are on their own, making their money any way they see fit, not robbing banks or braking the law. If you disapprove of how they make their monies because it doesn’t fit you moral standards, just remember that is not your money
ReplyDeleteCB
They are complaining their child does not have a title now but at the time they told everyone they did not want to have a title to their son. This couples are lying left and right. If they are truly financial independent why they were whining about "being financially cut off". Bank Daddy aka PoW is not obligated to fund a son and his trashy wife who do not want to work!
DeleteWe are a fashion blog and amongst the 130 or so comments I can’t find a word about the ensemble worn by Orpah Winfrey.
ReplyDeleteO.K. she’s not royal but that’s not her fault as royalty doesn’t exist in the USA.
In her biography it states that she’s 67 years old and has a net worth 2.5 billion US dollars. So something by Gucci or Dior should be a problem for her to have in her wardrobe.
From what I can see, she appears to be wearing a dusty pink pullover with a pleated skirt of a complimentary colour. There is a pinch of white showing from her blouse.
Of course she needs to have a low key presentation so as not to outshine her interviewée.
Excellent point, deadeggs. Oprah is a very experienced interviewer, and I am sure it is as you said. She is not there to outshine anyone she interviews, just do her job. She has plenty of expensive clothes. I like the soft, soothing neutral pink, and wish she had worn shoes instead of boots.
DeleteI also wanted to comment on Meghan's necklace. I had a thought that it could represent her family. Three different sized aquamarine stones and a gold bead certainly fit, and she is known for wearing jewelry that honors Harry and Archie. ~d
Fashion wise, that black dress is too severe and does not seem to fit for daytime. Evening maybe.
ReplyDeleteNonfashion wise. Why do this to your family. An eye for an eye is never the solution for anything. Lots of hurt and regrets as the results for this drama show. bc.
I have zero respect for people who trash their families publicly. annie
ReplyDeleteAnnie
DeleteTotally agreed.
No decency at all.
Shame on both of them.
P.
Fully agree on most of the comments. Harry should really get a new therapist and then they should crawl back into their private and quiet live they so longed for
ReplyDeleteNita
DeleteTwo therapists, one for each of them.
P.
Unfortunately I don't think any therapists can be up to the task.
DeleteThey're beyond help .
Im planning to go on tv tomorrow telling the world I'm trapped having to do my work, duty, and how I helped my brother sees he's trapped too. jess
Jess
ReplyDeleteHow true!
P.
The one who said it best about these two and their interview was wendel pierce her costar on screen father, quoting shakespeare's himself ' full of sound and fury signifying nothing’. Couldn't agree more. People still dying of covid left and right. The interview is insignificant compare to covid deaths, he said. At last someone has the courage to say it. judy
