I agree--Malala and the Sussexes were doing their job and they did them well. As far as the Teenage Therapy interview goes, I still find Harry and Meghan's comments about themselves to be cringeworthy and inappropriate. Things were expressed under the guise of expressing empathy, but I read...

On the armchair psychology theme, there is a counsellor on YouTube Dr. Todd Grande who does educational videos and also videos where he comments on famous people or crimes. In my opinion, he is very credible. He was speculating about Diana, and the challenge of being in the BRF. He suggested...

Meghan may want everyone to believe that she thinks this, but in my view she is very interested in what people think of her. She is engaged in a very deliberate media strategy to make sure people think well of her (and by default, Harry).

Your comments make me think back to when William and Harry were children. Their parents' marriage was troubled and there were bitter feelings on both sides; I recall thinking at the time that it seemed as if William had become "parentified." Why? Amongst other things, during one of the most...

Just because classism is an issue doesn’t mean that racism isn’t. Everyone should speak up and speak loudly about both issues. Harry and Meghan should and have the right to speak up. If they are going to speak, they should say something of substance. At this point, Harry does a very poor job of...

Yes, it was a lovely interview. Their words were generally well chosen and they hit all the right notes. I do think that it's a bit weird that they are sending a general message to Britons when they have chosen to live in LA.

In general, I would agree with someone who says this. However, her words were not "twisted". She made her political preference clear. That being said, I am not bothered by her comments. She has the right to say what she likes. If it's a problem for the BRF, Harry will have to deal with any...

Of course in certain circles, at least for a while, they will be a big "get", so it is quite possible that they are approached. For the most part however, we don't really know how they become involved.

I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with. If it is a series that highlights various charities, it might be interesting. If it profiles Harry and/or Meghan as they go around engaging with worthy causes, then it runs the risk of being too self-aggrandizing. Unlike the situations of...

Yes, a very large pinch of salt.

That is what a poll captures--respondent opinions. Some are more rigorously designed than others, but the purpose of the poll is to determine people's opinions on specific subject. Sometimes the questions is framed as a clear "opinion" eg "in your opinion, is the sky blue?" and sometimes the...

Sun Lion, you say so much in so few words. [emoji16]

When we go grey, colouring needs to be very carefully applied. Most women who choose overall colour go to a shade lighter than natural. This also allows better blending of the grey when there is regrowth.

I can't speak directly to what it would feel like as a US citizen to be hearing this message from Harry and Meghan. It is pretty clear, however, when they say that this is the most important election in their lifetime, or however they said it, that they are encouraging an anti-Trump vote. This...

I agree, the Queen inherited a lot of Queen Mary's genes, and has passed them to Anne and Edward in particular.

The goalposts haven't moved. The Queen makes speeches that are approved and/or written by the government. That is completely different than Meghan's actions. That being said, I don't think Meghan's actions are a big deal in their current context. I think she is both naieve and headstrong, but as...

Interesting that her persona is that of being extremely resilient, but in the end she was talking about"surviving" not "thriving" and not having a voice. Either the press abuse was so severe that her resilience was not enough to withstand it, or she wasn't that tough in the first place. There is...

The series is an adaptation of Hilary Mantel's book, and in her interviews, I have noted that Mantel often refers to the Catholic Church in less than enthusiastic terms (to put it mildly). She has a perspective, and it is hard to determine how much is historical and how much is the novelist's...

I appreciate your perspective, but in my view, the two are linked. Part of being privileged is having the opportunity to share your opinions and develop or access a platform for initiating change. It means that a person is situated in a social position where advantages outweigh disadvantages...

It is easy to pile on the criticisms once a person opens the door to them. In a report of another recent interview ( can’t remember source, sorry) Meghan is quoted as saying “I have a voice, and I have been voiceless”. That was the first time I cringed. When she repeated the sentiment I found it...

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/meghan-markle-breaks-silence-after-22524572?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar Meghan has shared more of her feelings about race relations in the US, but just as significantly commented once again about not being able to “use her...

It's nice they have their own home, truly. However, I am not sure how well it matches with Meghan's social justice agenda. This is someone who was quoted on People.com as saying "I know what it is like to have a voice, and I know what it is like to be voiceless." She was encouraging people to...

From another source, I read that Eugenie and Harry are said to have been very close. If she was "in the know" it might have been a natural consequence of a close friendship with her cousin. The only voice I hear when either of them speaks is Meghan's voice. I find that sad.

Agree and agree.

Meghan and Harry are not "visionaries" in my view. They may have altruistic aims, they may genuinely want to make a better, more socially just world, but that does not make them visionaries. As a couple they had 18 months in a system and then gave up on it. If they were true visionaries, they...
