I applaud anyone's attempts to heal from past traumas and move forward in a personally positive and productive way. Many people choose to talk publicly about their struggles as a pathway to healing, and this is often very helpful to others who are struggling. I have always suspected that Harry...

Her hair looks lovely, in my opinion.

The book may be about Meghan using her "voice". Nothing wrong with that. I may have missed this--are the proceeds of the book going to charity? That would be a good thing if so. I've written lots of poems that could be turned into children's books, but I somehow doubt that a publisher would...

India needs help, no doubt about that. Demands to "give reserves to India" is a gross oversimplification of the problem, but it is the latest in a series of humanitarian tragedies that celebrities will bring attention to, and good for them. I am not surprised, therefore that H and M would jump...

Of course people who behave as Meghan appears to be behaving would insist that their "journey" be acknowledged.

Me neither, although people are usually neither all good or all bad. These two are making very poor choices, but they have the social, financial and political capital to do a lot of good in the world. Too bad they are wasting it.

In my opinion, I suspect there are M-H relationship dynamics that could explain much of this.

IMHO, Harry and Meghan should focus on their work, period. Goodness knows there are enough people in need all over the world who could benefit from their good works. Even if all of the accusations against members of the BRF and courtiers are true, or mostly true, it should be sorted out with the...

The whole issue of royal protocol is way overblown by the press. I suspect that the Queen couldn't care less about stockings and nail polish.

Osipi, you are the voice of reason in this discussion.

It is generally true that the best person for the job is the most qualified. Given the under-representation of certain groups in executive positions in many countries,however, it is appropriate that the applicant pool be diverse, and in my view every effort should be made to recruit, interview...

I agree. It was probably a very special moment for them, but she reported it as if it were more indication of disdain for the real ceremony.

I will explain the issue of "not correcting the false narrative". The BRF has a policy of not getting engaged in public battles played out in the paper. They have done so only a few times in the past decade. To do so has only ever proven to be a fruitless exercise, serving to "feed the beast."...

I agree. Maybe they need to keep the story going. King said that she would be watching to see how it turns out, or something to that effect. Give me strength.

In my opinion, Meghan was targeted by the tabloids and attacked in part because she was biracial, and in part because she was divorced and American--an "outsider". There were factual inaccuracies or misrepresentations in the interview. Whether these were due to naeivity, lack of knowledge...

My assessment: At best, Meghan and Harry, but particularly Meghan, have very poor boundaries. This explains the need to share so much publicly. In my view, a mature person would not choose this route. Harry comes off as entitled, dependent and churlish, and Meghan comes off as very...

It would be nice to see some real reporting on the situation. Is the Times article the results of some of that reporting? If so, I wish that the paper would publish the whole story once confirmed, and not just bits and pieces. No doubt by releasing the information about the HR...

This. Even if we think that the interview is a way of publicizing Archewell, they should think twice about the wisdom of this approach. It should be a one-off occurrence. Oprah will throw a few softball questions about royal life and Meghan will say how hard it was. I have never believed that...

I have no opinion on the decision, it is a decision that was thoughtfully rendered according to law, but I would like to point out that publishing an op-ed, or a soft interview with M and H's final approval of the text, is a very different kind of collaboration/interview than a journalistic or...

There is no usual process. That's the problem.

I am not too familiar with how charitable foundations work. For example, the not for profit WE Charity is related to the for profit WE Day events, and in Canada, the WE Charity was embroiled in a bit of a scandal when it was revealed that WE had paid members of the PM's family to speak at events...

I take issue with the message "love always wins"; it's just not true. Further, I don't like it when life is framed as a win or lose game. As sincere as the message might be, it is also a little naieve and superficial.

I agree with most of this. Many celebs are able to keep their kids out of the spotlight, especially their babies--if they want to. As I have said before, the "public" don't need to see Archie. So what if fans/nonfans complain? Why do the royals release their cards with pictures of their...

I agree--we don't need to see Archie. I also don't think that we need to see a Christmas card of any kind from the Sussexes. If they want to send a card that they know will be released to the public, directly or indirectly, then I suppose the chosen image is the safest--we don't really see what...

Dressing for the weather, maybe? This wasn't a grand formal occasion--perfectly reasonable to wear sturdy boots.
