Thumbs up or down if you're gonna watch "the interview" with Oprah tonight???

[a kennedy]

[hlthe2b]

1. I'm sure we'll be regaled with video clips afterward so... (I think I'll watch zombies on TWD)

[sheshe2]

10. That is exactly what I am watching.

[solara]

2. Not into it at all

[LakeArenal]

3. Probably.

[Delmette2.0]

4. Maybe.

[5X]

5. Watching to fill the void left from the doom scrolling.

[Budi]

20. LOL.. no shit. A world exists beyond "Manchin!!!"

Living in the British palace would be a fking asylum, coming from a lifetime of freely speaking & living American.
Gaaaadd.

I'd have fled too.

[Siwsan]

6. A big thumbs down

Although I wish them well with their foundation, I really do find them to be tiresome.

Besides, I'm watching 'Allen v. Farrow' on HBO.

[Heartstrings]

12. Me, too!

The Brit drama with these two is tiresome and old. I do wish them well....

I’ll be tuned in to ‘Allen v. Farrow’ and then John Oliver.

[Budi]

19. I have part 2 of Allen/Farrow to watch also.

Part 1 was impressively honest, by all the fam members.

[Yonnie3]

7. Interview?

not on my radar

[Irish_Dem]

8. No, I cannot watch entitled rich privileged adults constantly whine about how bad their lives are.

It is especially tone deaf given the many hardships most of the world is facing right now.

[Trueblue1968]

34. She isn't whining.

[lindysalsagal]

42. +1000

Don't like windsors? Don't marry them.

Liz was a staunch, dedicated public servant, but one hellova horrifying mother. Too funny, though, how she clings to the throne, depriving Charles of his turn.

[Irish_Dem]

43. Exactly.

She was a not a naive kid, she knew what she was getting into.
A B-list actress who hit the big time with her marriage.
Vast wealth, power, fame, adoration.
And it was not enough for her.

There is no free lunch, she had to follow protocol and the rules of the institution.
She wouldn't do it. Instead she wanted more.

Yes I agree, Liz is a great public servant, but lacking in the mother department.
The kids have not done well. In terms of abdication, it is not going to happen, she is too much of a traditionalist.

[Ocelot II]

9. Whatever for?

[asiliveandbreathe]

11. Too much good golf on..yesterday was some kinda' great golf..

We watch the golf rerun at 5pm MST..

Bruins on now..lovin' it..

[True Blue American]

13. No, not after I

Found out CNN paid them $7 million for the interview! More gifting. I will not waste my time.

[asiliveandbreathe]

14. I guess I missed that news..not sure what you mean..

[Budi]

18. The proceeds went to their Archie Foundation

[Totally Tunsie]

21. Meghan and Harry are NOT being paid for this interview.

by CBS (not CNN) or anyone.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey cost CBS at least $7M in licensing fees

CBS is paying a license fee of between $7 million and $9 million for the rights to air Ms. Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, according to people familiar with the pact.

The two-hour interview is scheduled for Sunday on CBS at 8 p.m. ET, after the network’s popular news magazine “60 Minutes.” Sunday is one of the biggest nights of television consumption.

As part of the agreement between CBS and Ms. Winfrey’s production company, Harpo Productions, the network also has rights to license the special in international markets. In the U.K., the interview will air Monday on ITV. CBS is a unit of ViacomCBS Inc.

A spokeswoman for the couple said they are not being compensated for the interview.

Grifters may grift, but facts are facts.

Yes, I'll be watching, and taping "Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy" at 9:00 CNN.

[True Blue American]

36. So one of us is wrong.

After seeing excerpts this morning I am glad I did not watch it. Charles has been embarrassed once again by his own Son. Reminds me too much of the Wallis Simpson case. Meghan knew she was marrying into the Royal family

[True Blue American]

37. CNN and CBS work together.

The publicity has all been on CNN.

[ShazzieB]

15. Yes, I'll watch it.

I'm recording it, so I may not watch it when it's on, but I'll watch.

From the responses to this OP, that may not be a popular choice, but I am interested, so I will watch.

[pamdb]

16. Oprah

I'll record it and probably just skim through it,

[Budi]

17. I'll watch it. I admire Meghan Markel. I can't even imagine going from an Am citizen to

..a fishbowl as she did. Just to be with the man that chose to vow forever 'till death we do part'.

Wear this, not that. Stand like this, not that. Smile & wave like this, not that.
Protocol & all in a country, not your own, public & media eye on every word you say & you have no opinion beyond the Royal approval.

Fk that. Harry knew it too. He knew the Brit media would tear her up & a few Royals as well.
They're just as big a gossips as anyone else.

And honestly, it was Harry who stood by when he saw his wife treated the same as his mother when the Royal decision was made.

I'd lose my mind living in an environment as she had to.
The media never ever left her alone
I admire her composure cuz I'd have had to tell them all to gth as I headed out the door.

Harry appears to have made the right & only decision in his saying adios to the stuffed shirts, their watchdogs inside the Palace & the bitter British Press.

Oh ya, I recall when Archie was first born.
The trending question whispered in the UK was, " is he black?".

Yes that is the damned Truth. 🤬

I wish them peace & a long & happy healthy life with their beautiful children, their friends, their giving foundations, & their pets.

I will watch, not for the gossipy rumors she & Harry endured while holding their heads high in an environment where they were not welcome as a married couple, but because I think Markel is beautiful, smart, gracious & passionate about the causes she & Harry have entered into.

They are a most interesting power couple in their own right, & hopefully the Royal experience will be far in the past someday.

British Press can stew about it for years.
Harry & Meghan will be long gone from that boring reach.

Oprah's interview is set to record.

[Raven123]

22. Thumbs down

[Drum]

23. Nope

[Pisces]

24. No

[Budi]

25. "The unfathomable hubris of old British men.."

Link to tweet

@ritaag
Seems simple. They treated her like s—t. Harry decided he wasn’t going to take that and wasn’t going to ask her to take it. So, they left.

They really hate to see a fearless independent Black woman stand up to them.

~ Go live your life freely, Harry & Meghan

[True Blue American]

38. For those who know History

Meghan sounds like Wallace Simpson. The King gave up his Throne.

[Budi]

44. Wow. No kidding. Brits maybe should do some self examination..

They're not looking too good right now.

"Is the baby Black?" whispered literally everyone of them.
Ugh.

[jimfields33]

26. No way!

Why watch rich people problems? The privileged elite have it so rough. Give me a break! Why not do a story on someone who is about to have their last meal using money found in couch cushions. It irks me they got 7 million for this interview!!!!! Ugh!

[Skittles]

27. sick of them

they wanted to go away so.........do that already

[Paladin]

28. And miss Stanley Tucci's Italian cooking show on CNN?

Not a chance.

[a kennedy]

32. I really miss Anthony Bordain (sp). And this show reminds me of him.....😢 😢 😢

[Dagstead Bumwood]

29. Not for $5.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

30. Watching ....

[avebury]

31. Watching

The big question for the media will be trying to figure out which member of the Royal family had the conversation with Harry about concern for hiw dark their child's skin would be.

When she was pregnant they were told that their child would get no title and no security. So royal family denies first mixed race baby title and security. Meghan only cared about the title if it would have protected her child.

Race is absolute factor in how she was treated.

She wanted inpatient treatment for mental health and they denied it. You can see why they walked away from the royal family.

[kairos12]

33. Absolutely not. Royal family nonsense is worse than professional wrestling.

Beyond stupid.

Food fight amongst uber rich.

[orleans]

35. it came on after 60 minutes

i thought it was going to air on some cable channel i don't get and was surprised it was on cbs

so i wasn't planning on watching--didn't particularly want to; don't really care about royal family crap

but i left it on and gave it a few minutes. i ended up watching the entire thing and found it very interesting

[True Blue American]

39. Because CNN has been

Publicizing it all week. I did wonder when they were going to show Lincoln. I turned it all off.

[orleans]

41. yeah, i don't get cnn -- i'm basic cable

[Maxheader]

40. book 3 cj cherryhs foreigner novels.

Pretty well shut the 📺 down..for now..

[Ron Obvious]

45. Fuck no

I've got vastly more interesting things to do than watch boring celebrities on a chat show.
