Sorry, I don't understand - what kind of an interview? Did Gayle do an interview with Meghan? If not, how on earth was Meghan supposed to correct her?

As far as the term, while "your royal highness" is a bit sticky at the moment, Meghan definitely is still Duchess of Sussex - that didn't change. I mean, I wouldn't even make a thing out of it, the media are very weird with their uses of titles (in most cases, it's wrong), like "Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan" or "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" (this one is the style used after the divorce). If this kind of thing flies with british publications, I don't see a reason why Gayle should be criticised.

If It was an interview where Meghan was being paid, given the queen's direction it would be incorrect for her to be announced as HRH or call YRH. But as far as I can see, its quite OK to call her Duchess since she has that title...

I don't know - I don't know anything about it other than what I said I just wanted to watch it to see what she really said. My understanding is Gail had an in person interview with Meghan which I was surprised at - I didn't know they had given any interviews after they left. I'm not even sure what channel Gail is on.
 
As I recall the interview was about the voice over for the documentary where the money she got went to charity. So technically it was not a "commercial" venture as I see it.
 
Meghan has not given any interviews. Where is this even coming from?
 
Every senior royal meets and knows millionaires/billionaires. Some they receive gifts like loans of aircraft, villas, yachts from, some they don't. No different with the Sussexes.
 
do we know any more about the archewell foundation? it all seems to have gone quiet, potentially because of COVID.
 
We didn't know anything in the first place besides the name... and that was only due to the press looking into paperwork. Sussexes haven't spoken about it at all. I doubt we will anytime soon.

Yes this is true & something that needs to be carefully monitored. Ideally as little contact as possible. Borrowing any sort of transport in particular concerns me..

It may be forbidden to mention it but I assumed "archwell" was out of the running since it was hijacked by people who didn't like Meghan? I assume their foundation will be called something else.
 
I believe the legal documents have been filed by Harry and Meghan to use Archwell Global Foundation as their own incentive. What has perhaps been hijacked though is social media accounts using "Archwell".

Everything is on hold right now due to the pandemic so until we actually see the launch of their new foundation, there really isn't much news at all about it.

Have you noticed that their Instagram account has been dead for weeks now? By the way in recent weeks they have lost 200 000 followers.
 
That IG is no longer used by the Sussexes and is void. Their followers (including me and several of my friends) aren't bothering to remain because a new IG of Harry and Meghan's will almost certainly be starting at the end of the Covid-19 restrictions, when Archewell is set up.
 
Except Oprah has already said she had nothing to do with The Sussexes and their living situation.

Nothing new in the article, warmed over tabloid chatter.

Despite Oprah having said what she is meant to have said, I do not think there are many who believe her.

An interesting take from Forbes. Didn't realise Forbes covered this sort of thing until I stumbled across it looking for something else.

Yep, they do - if it fits into their more around money turning direction. They are not as direct as Pimm Fox was on Bloomberg, who asked in every context "How can I profit from it?", but still...

And the article you linked, asks unpleasant questions!

Yeah, how can Citizen Harry rake in a bit money? The question alone is pretty un-royal! Poor Harry!
 
People have their mind made up anyways, whether there it is the truth or not.

The question of how Harry will make money is certainly a fair question, and one that will continue to be discussed for some time to come. Not unrealistic for somebody seeking financial independence, perhaps even one day from the Bank of Daddy!

People are allowed to make up their minds in any way they see fit.

Exactly why would Oprah lie and why would the tabloids be given any credibility about it when she's stated 'no'.

Amazing to me how the Tabloid media has be raised to new standards!

Just because Oprah said it, does not mean it is true.

You can question the way they make money but claiming someone is lying about something they said all because you don't want to believe it to be so is a bit far for me. But to each their own.

Personally I find the article strange. They have run out of article ideas. It is odd, expected journalism from Forbes not a rehash of this forum :)

Speaking of... "Forbes" mentions his "Invictus" initiative in quite a broad way: In America die more veterans by suicide than on the battlefields. They get drugged on their tours by army docs with psycho-drugs to do the job and if they come home, nobody cares. If one recherches the suicide numbers - it is frightning!

But and this is, what "Forbes" does not mention, this main problem of the Amercican veterans is different from the tenor of the Invictus Games - it is a problem of mental wounds, not physical ones. Even there Citizen Harry would have to adjust and to re-calibrate his charity endevours.

And it is hard to see, how he can profit from this.
 
You are absolutely correct that many US soldiers return to civilian life and their main problems are mental health related such as PTSD, depression, anxiety and all sorts of mental illnesses. However, its not correct to say that the Invictus Games are for veterans solely with physical wounds. Mental health issues play an important part of the Invictus Games as shown in this article from 2017 in a US Veterans Magazine.

https://www.usveteransmagazine.com/...s-on-issues-including-mental-health-and-ptsd/

There is no way that Harry would ever seek to or even think of wanting to make a profit off of the Invictus Games. I don't care how much money Harry has or how much money Harry is going to make and how he's going to do it. What I am interested in is the work for the greater good that the Sussexes intend to do.
 
I suspect Forbes is straining for a fluffier article in these very troubled and uncertain times and yes it's something that has been discussed on this board many, many times but I think it's a valid question.

What skills does Harry bring to the table in LA without the "royal" officially attached and without his well earned military credentials being worth much? How is he going to fit in long term and what are their actual plans now that the pandemic has put things on hold and how does the book fit in to all of this and their Social Media announcements? Apart from the fact that news is slow right now anyway, there's a reason these things keep being talking points.

Obviously it's not going to change anyone's mind at all but it's interesting.
