Most liked posts in thread: Harry and Megan and the dysfunctional Royal family.

They got paid no matter what they claim. There is a trick they all do to make it look like they aren't profiting from interviews like this and that's money doesn't come to them directly but a charitable donation is made to the foundation/charity that almost every single celeb has which they can then use in a virtue-signalling exercise that grabs them more attention and results in more income. Ashwell's bank account is almost certainly several million higher than it was

Harry has just been brainwashed by her, she wants to be there as its best for her career not for their privacy but he seems to have bought into her myth of how protected Hollywood is (Which she has no basis for knowing, when she was in LA she was a failed actress who struggled to get non-speaking parts to let alone major roles where people would know who and care who she was. Her success was in Canada and they don't hound the TV stars up there which is one of the reasons so many shows shoot up there rather than in other states in the US outside California and New York who offer just as big if not bigger incentives to shoot in there)

He has been lucky that he is in LA during a lockdown but once things are back to normal he will quickly find out the press in the US are a million times worse. The agreement the palace and the press have which he acting as if no-one knew about it (The press mention it enough and the fact we see none of the daily Paparazzi shots of the Royals, especially the kids that are in the foreign press and we hear none of the unsubstantiated rumours such as the one about Williams Affair that was all over the US press) gives the Royals a massive amount of protection in the UK which he doesn't have over there. He will have a swarm of paps following him if he goes to get a coffee, they will chase him in cars/bikes when he goes anywhere and they won't have any issue breaking into his property. And with US liable laws which mean he would have to prove that any story is not only false but the publication knew it was wrong when they printed it (unlike in the UK where the publication has the burden to prove the story is true) he will see all sorts of crazy stories about him (It already happens, I don't know if anyone noticed but when they put up examples of the negative and racist headlines most of them weren't from UK publications, most were from US papers and gossip mags

Only if you use the same kind of multiplying that Oprah used about the Royal Wedding (as she claimed 2bn people watched it which is clearly bullshit) or they use Netflix method of viewing figures of which is 'did you watch 2minutes of the content, including what is effectively the autoplaying promo'. About 17million watched it by the official Nielsen ratings (which counts a view as watching 70% of the content) whereas 96.4mill watched this year Superbowl. It's not even CBS's most viewed non-sporting event of 2021 as The Equaliser remake got over 20mill watching the first episode.

On the interview itself there were so many provably false things in it that every single claim she made is doubtful. Knowing that the palace most likely won't actually do a proper response (she basically stated that right at the side when complaining that they wouldn't let her put out anything but no-comment responses) Oprah as an interview had a duty to actually treat everything she said with scepticism and to hence cross her but Oprah is a fraud who has made her money on giving people puff pieces. Holly Willoughby puts guests on This Morning under more scrutiny that Oprah ever does which is saying something as Holly isn't a journalist and doesn't pretend to be one.

 

Oh and you know what annoyed me the most about the interview. Her responce to the Avocado article.

Serious journalism in Newspapers is a dying art form, over in the States one of the most respected papers is the Washington Post which has always prided itself doing proper hard-hitting journalism but that makes massive losses every year, it's only because it's owned by Jeff Bezos who is willing and able to shoulder losses to keep it doing what its always done. Most papers can't afford to do that, serious journalism just takes too long, costs too much and gets too few eyes in today's celeb obsessed society. So a common tactic, when they want to do a serious story, is to find a way to frame it around a celeb which allows you to include them in the headline and in the first paragraph or so before delving into the serious story.

This Avocado story was about the plight the sudden Avocado craze which has been fueled by celebs and social media influencers was causing in the countries they are grown in, you have things like criminal gangs have now got involved so they make money not the growers and also people who it used to be a vital part of their diet as it was nutritious and cheap now can't afford it as the demand is so high that prices have gone through the roof. It's a real issue, one that all these millennials eating tonnes of it but who claim to care more about society than before them needed to be aware of, it needed a celebs name in the headline to get people to read it though and as someone who was still popular at the time and someone who like a week before had a friend over and served him Avocado on Toast which he had Instagrammed about and the post had blown up she was the perfect person. It didn't attack her, it didn't blame her for anything it just used the fact she had recently blown up over avocado and had also previously said it was her favourite food

But here on this interview, we had Little Miss caring shitting all over the article, effectively calling a respected journalist racist and showing absolutely no concern for others plights. She should have been applauding a good piece of journalism that shone a light on the issues but because it dared use her to get people to read it she decided to ridicule it. I guess we should have expected it though from such a fake, self obsessed women after all she has been happy telling us all that we should live like cavemen and then a few days later taking a private plane to go and spend a weekend with the Clooneys or to fly to new york for a baby shower and then fly back or the various other unnecessary plane trips she took for recreational reasons (and often her taking one flight and Harry taking a different one to goto the same place)
