I *think* Harry & Meghan's PR team +Oprah (or Harpo productions) have played the lead up perfectly. They released an innocuous teaser trailer, bad bullying press leaks in the British press/tabloids followed by a new teaser alleging The Firm giving false narratives of H/M... proving their point. Also love that it was originally only a 90 minute interview and now it's from 8-10 tonight, possibly in response to BP and the new smear campaign against them.
Not interested. I get they wanted their own life and privacy but it seems like they spend a lot of time advertising and selling their stories about their lives now. I understand they’d want to do it on their terms and the British papers were/are terrible towards them but if they truly wanted privacy they’d not talk at all and just live their life.
So do they have no contact with his family now? What about him and will? I hope this isn’t a big lead up for nothing. Tell 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 all 👏🏻!!’
Harry was on James Corden a week or 2 ago and did say he has facetimed the Queen and Philip several times and she specifically asked what to send as a Christmas gift for Archie so there was something, even recently.

My take on this is that is the path they tried a year ago and bad press continued to leak. I think they are showing they are not willing to remain silent and will fight back. The British media is terrible to them (a side by side of headlines when Meghan and Kate did the SAME EXACT thing was eye opening). They are showing they aren't spineless and a lot of the bad press is coming from inside the house and they are telling the Firm to put up or shut up.

I asked my H this same question. Unless they stated otherwise, we assumed they were getting paid $$$ for the interview.

They didn’t leave because they wanted privacy, they left because they were tired of the racist bullshit Meghan was getting and the palace not backing them up at all.

Already covered but they were not paid. Apparently US journalistic standards that CBS adheres to will not air any interviews where the subject gets paid. The $7M discussed is what CBS paid Harpo productions for airing rights
100%. I normally don't care about the royal family, but this story is just something else.
Bethenny Frankel also randomly went after Megan Markel on Twitter this morning.
ETA: And I watch a lot of TV and watched Suits, so I knew who Megan was before she started dating Prince Harry. I think a lot of people did (obviously she is more well known now, but it's not like she was completely unknown).

Right. And the Royals haven't fucking stopped slyly going after them with endless bull in the press (see, e.g. this completely insane "investigation" launched THIS WEEK into Meghan's alleged bullying of staff 3 years ago, corroborated only by a guy who worked before and is working again for William, the heir they will prop up and protect at all costs).
I love a tiara, but it's an anachronistic institution full of nonsense and, let it be said again, racists who will conflate family with business and shelter pedophiles while foisting inane slander on 2 people who had the audacity to leave and not to fail when they did so. Sorry that, unlike abdicating Edward, Harry isn't spending every moment pining to be let back in to cuddle up to Gran and Dad and brother when they hung him, his wife, and his child out to dry. Call. Them. Out.
Besides, many people (not everyone in this post, lol) want to know.

I think they left for both reasons and the racism just made them leave faster.
Oh yes I’m all in. I hope they burn that palace down.
The only person/interview I am more excited to see is when Katie Holmes can finally spill all the dirt on Tom Cruise and Scientology. You know she has the match to set that flame.
