As I sit in front of the TV on Sunday night, I play a drinking game with virtual pals during the much-hyped Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“Tabloids.” Shot! ‘Nightmare.’ Shot! “Queen and abuse.” Shot and shot!
The problem is that since the former royals mourn their fate, it will take less than ten minutes to slip off the bench drunk.
Judging by the trailers CBS released from the two-hour presentation – set on a film-like soundtrack of rising violins – the slap in the face that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex uttered is just another ridiculous pity party.
Pass the sick bucket. Meghan’s complaints about Buckingham Palace expecting them to remain ‘silent’, that the Windsors’ continued ‘lies about her and Harry’ and other various raids are already making me anxious.
What did Meghan Markle expect by marrying the British royal family, the ultimate gilded cage? Her main complaint seems to be that she could not get everything that was offered – the money, the houses, the title – and kept doing what she wanted, without responsibilities.
It’s a little rich in these horrible times – when people die of COVID-19 and others are in financial ruin – that these pampered narcissists think it’s good to catch the suspected refugees from the comfort of their mansion $ 14.65 million in California.
If you’ve lost a loved one to the virus, your job is in jeopardy, or your children are not denied an education, you’ll feel better listening to the situation of an actress in a $ 4700 dress. and an acidic blue blood with a wild-child past.
Then there is the slick PR machine that Hazza and Megs use as their crisis management team. This week, she faced allegations of bullying during her long tenure as a working royal – about 682 days – saying the duchess is “saddened by this latest attack on her character.”
They added that, having been the target of self-bullying, she is ‘deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma’.
Well, listen, Buttercup! As your father-in-law, Prince Philip (99), recovers from heart surgery in London, while the rest of the world is hurting by the pandemic, it’s time to close the valve.
Harry and Meghan say they left the royal family because they had so much to offer the world, so much they could say. But apparently that’s all they need to talk about themselves.
