So, it’s been a few weeks since the explosive Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview with Oprah. There were some heavy allegations made and many people found themselves sympathising with Meghan and Harry, while a lot of other people couldn’t wrap their heads around some of the issues addressed, like the tensions within the Royal family and comments made about Archie’s skin colour.

But it’s not just about the revelations made during the interview, right? This situation has brought to surface the bigger issue of racism and bias in the media as well as the toll fame can take on mental health.

How are you folks feeling about the interview? Have your perceptions of the royal family changed? Do you think anything will come of this? Right, wrong, or indifferent, this has caused so much conversation worldwide and it’s interesting to see how everyone’s processing their feelings. And while we’re at it, what are your thoughts on Piers Morgan resigning from Good Morning Britain over this heated debate? Let’s keep it respectful, but I’m keen to hear everyone’s take.

I found the interview to be very eye-opening. It just goes to show that no matter how much privilege you have, mental health struggles don’t discriminate. I’ve always had a sense of respect for the royal family, but this did make me rethink some aspects. I hope this conversation encourages more empathy towards people going through struggles that we might not fully understand, celebrity or otherwise.

As for the Piers Morgan situation, I think it’s important for journalists to be able to have differing opinions, but it got to a point where it felt less like an opinion and more like a personal attack. Good Morning Britain will carry on, and so will he. People resign from jobs all the time when their ethos doesn’t line up with the company. That’s just life.

I completely agree with the point you made about mental health. It’s a universal struggle that can affect anyone, regardless of their social status or privileges. The old adage “money can’t buy happiness” seems to ring true in this case. I also share your sentiments about the Piers Morgan incident. Although it’s crucial for journalists to have their own perspective, it felt like he crossed a line. However, as you rightly pointed out, people often part ways with their jobs when there’s a disparity in their belief systems, so it’s a part of life. Let’s hope this discussion bolsters our collective empathy towards mental health issues.
