    I am surprised that Katie Hopkins hasn’t joined in the criticism

    Sounds more like someone who doesn't have defective moral compass and who's being keeping up with current affairs.

    Has he stopped staging photos for money and selling personal letters from his daughter?
    Classy guy.
    He would sell out anyone for a dollar.

    But would he sell his own privacy?

    Did anybody watch Thomas Markle’s interview?

    A small segment. He said he was going to give interviews to the press every month until Meghan contacts him. :eek:

    I wonder, what Harry is doing now, what he was not allowed to do as a member of RF?

    When Piers Morgina came back after eating a snickers his eyes were all watery he must have been crying. I think there's something not quite right with him. They had a couple of drinks in a pub with group of mutual friends and he acts like a scorned lover who was jilted at the altar. He's going to have a heart attack if he doesn't calm down.

    The hate and vitriol that she faced was shocking. I'm not surprised it resulted in mental health issues. And yes I do believe her.

    Family politics are complicated. He paid for her college. He was at her first wedding. My point is that we are condemning him without firsthand knowledge of what his motivation is. The love a father has for a daughter is strong. I would be surprised if it was money alone that drove him to destroy this love

    she stopped talking to him before he allegedly sold the personal letter though
    the staged photos though were not malicious a more mature person would have said that what are you at? you are so naive and get over it.

    They may not get directly paid for it. But there will be huge indirect reward for their brand. They are now a household name in America

    He's in good company then, considering Alec Guinees, Anthony Hopkins, Robert Carlyle, Bruno Ganz and Sarah Silverman, who I suspect might be Jewish, have also worn swastikas.

    What is your point?

    Wearing a swastika in any context, any at all, is a truly deplorable and attention-grabbing stunt. It can not and should not ever be normalised or brushed aside as something trivial. Given Harry’s family connections, he should be aware and sensitive to all those poor souls who lost their lives to the Nazi-regimen. To wear at is to spit in the graves of all the poor souls who needlessly lost their lives to a murderous, Nazi-regimen

    Let's hope he doesn't calm down then. Any suggestions for keeping him agitated and upset?

    So for public attention. The very thing they made a big fuss about when leaving the royal family.

    Remember when Ulrika Johnson made the rape accusations in the media in the 90s. She refused to name the culprit. Everybody assumed that a particular individual was guilty, and he was guilty by assumption.

    Racist is a really terrible and damaging label. People, even guilty people, should have their say, and be able to defend themselves. Throwing around the racist word without context or specifics means that this label will linger in the minds of the public indefinitely, and they might as well be guilty.

    i didnt see the interview - but heard Oprah barely asked him about it and he brushed it off,


    the whole interview was a PR stunt, basically just to have a pity party - look how mean everyone was to us (and yeah they were at occasion) but come on Meghan and Harry get out of your bubble - the whole world struggling right now and you expect us to feel sorry for you while you tell us how courageous you are from the gardens of a multi-million dollar mansion. OK

    It wasn't the public attention....it was the constant bloody barrage of horrendous stories....leaks...blame being dumped on them....and the lack of any protection from the institution they were part of quite the opposite.
    Fair play to them I hope they have a lovely life with their kids away from that toxic environment.

    The fact a three year old bullying story was leaked just before this interview says a lot.

    It could also be argued that Thomas himself was manipulated by the press and if Meghan was naive to the whole fanfare then her father was going to be even more so. He should have been given more guidance by them. He hadn’t even met Harry before the wedding and they had been dating for a while at that point. I find that shocking that she never introduced him. He deserved more guidance from the start

    Be best off avoiding Oprah and continually kicking a hornets nest in that case.

    BUT that doesn't make money so bring on Oprah/Disney/Netflix and CELEBRITY that life up.
