I wasn't been ironic. I love Meghan. So don't start moaning about her on my thread.

I’m with you 110% but, demonstrating just how ‘close’ I follow all this, I didn’t even know she was having a chat with Oprah

By "chat" I presume you mean scripted, rehearsed, multi-taked,heavily produced and closely edited mini-version of Gone With The Wind?

This is Hollywood after all, Meghan is an actress and Ladies and Gentlemen. It's Show-time!

Worryingly they are even discussing it on R4 this morning. I tried to change the station but it's that long since we listened to anything else the knob is stuck...

That is brilliant. Well not brilliant for Meghan obviously but brilliant all the same

I hope you are all ready.

That's amazing that these non-stories are spun in such different ways. It makes you wonder whether the Meghan stories are intended to pander to the key demographic of the readership, or intended to lead them. What conversations were going on:
Journalist: Boss, I've got a picture of Meghan. How shall we run it?
Sub-editor: Anti-Meghan stories are very popular at the moment and are driving on-line advertising sales. Let's run it that way.

Impossible to know I guess, though fairly predictable in terms of their preferred narrative around the royal family and Meghan. She's always being considered an outsider in some parts of the media and that's playing out now in pretty spectacular style.
