pretty savage how the press have turned against them IMO and that poll is a simple reflection of people believing the spiel spouted by them.

Theyād kill the brand if they did and they know it. Nobody buys a Dyson because of itās British heritage, they buy one because theyāre the best. That canāt be said about an AM.

Iām sure thatās not true. Iāve worked in retail and had customers asking to buy only British made goods.

I havenāt seen the interview but I think the issue was less the limelight itself but what was being said in the media, much of it pretty nasty stuff. And, I suspect some of that criticism was also a view shared by some within the family.

Iām a million miles away from being a Royalist but the hypocrisy in the press has been equally shattering.
And I hate our battery operated Dyson with a passion. My old plug in one was decent though.

Well I didnāt, but every time I spill something and need to clean it up, Iāll leave you to figure out the rest.
But back to the Royals, I think what we are seeing here is a prime example of the press (and others) yet again basking in past glories and lets be honest here wanting to maintain a certain image of things.
Itās the statues all over again

one point i thought was bizarre (i havent watched the full thing yet as i found it pretty boring) was at the beggining they were making such a huge point about there being no security for Archie provided.
wouldnāt they be in a position of supplying their own?
that really seemed petty.
Oprahs a pretty terrible interviewer, it was just a quiet conversation.
for instance, when Mehgan raised the point about Archie not getting a title or security, she then went on to say that when Chuck becomes king Archie would technically assume the title of prince.
but Oprah refused to press for clarityā¦did that mean the kid would have the title and security at that point, or not?
why wouldnt you clear that up immediately?
also, are Williams kids titled becuase they are in line for the trone or simple becuase granny likes them better.
the biggest thing i gathered from what i have watched so far is just how weak Oprah and this kind of American interview is.
slimey.

Iām looking at this story from a different angle. When you see the disparity in the press reporting between Meghan and Kate and the abuse aimed at Meghan in particular then itās pretty clear that the UK press is in the gutter and actively trying to influence (and actually doing it) opinion.
You can already see the Royal pundits lining up to defend, this along with the papers that were guilty of creating this trash in the first place. If the allegations are true itās pretty indefensible IMO but just watch the press try to force a change in opinion.

I wonder if itās the other way around, that the press are simply pandering to the mores of their readership?
Having some familiarity with the machinations of the street of shame, the best tactic for selling copy is to give the punters exactly what they want and tell them what they want to hear. If they donāt agree with what you write, they wonāt buy it.
The Royals are very popular with large swathes of the public, including many traditional working class people, and woe betides anyone who attacks them (the Royals).
So while the press might be fanning the flames, the fire was already well alight in the minds of their circulation.

Fascinating thought and to some degrees I agree but theyāve really gone after Meghan. Why I donāt know but if they are pandering to the views of their readers then itās even more disturbing. To me it basically means that thereās a section of the public that for whatever reason do not believe she ābelongsā in the Royal family. That opens up all sorts of horrible possibilities.
Thinking about it, thatās exactly what the readership seem to want and the editors are simply feeding the machine. Thatās horrible and shameful and I still believe the press have played a big part in developing this.
We have of course seen this before with Brexit along with other such contentious issues.
