ICHEOKU says it is obvious from the interview who wears the pants in the household of Meghan Markle and it is definitely not her hostage, Prince Harry. She would not allow him to go there in certain places during the interview and squeezes his hand to tell him to hush and not answer some questions. Even the way Harry always first seeks her approval by looking at her for the go ahead signal before answering certain questions says a lot about who is unquestionably in charge and dictating the terms of their relationship and it is certainly not Prince Harry.
The fact that she forced or blackmailed him into denouncing his family's pure blue blood royal heritage and to abscond from the British royal household for a life of Hollywood superciliousness says a lot about Prince Harry's fickleness. Why would he allow himself to be beguiled and sheepishly led by the nose by a femme fatale, a divorcee, who is older than him, who is more cunning than him, a manipulating gold digger who deceived her way into marrying a prince only to become a turncoat traitor, out for total ruination of the British monarchy. What a terrible woman and she lied throughout the interview. It does not take a lie detector to notice the several times she was untruthful as any close observer would notice from her darting squirrelly eyes and body language.
In this day and age of the Internet, especially Google, where everything is out there in the world wide web and easily discoverable; and when people even google things as little as confirming someone's identity, it is simply disingenuous for Meghan Markle to say that she did not know anything about the British monarchy before marrying into it. Moreso, she spent a considerable time in Canada which is a British commonwealth country under the Queen and must have somehow discovered a thing or two about the institution. Also, how can any woman intending to join a family by matrimony not first conduct a due diligence investigation about the family she was planning to marry into. But no, she thought she is so special and wanted to forcibly change a thousand year old institution and she came out scarred and scorched.
She wanted it all. She was rebellious. She refused to conform to protocols and refused to know her tiered place in the hierarchy. She also forgot that she is below Kate Middleton, the future Queen of England and was supposed to defer to her. Simply put, she was full of it and was not cultured nor prepared for the expectations of the institution into which she married. She is a commoner who came from the streets and not a groomed well mannered lady meant for a prince as she does not have the requisite discipline for the position. So the red warning lights were flashing long before now and it is still a surprise that she and Harry are still together. Her parents are divorced and she has also previously been married and divorced herself and from the trajectory of things, ICHEOKU will not be surprised if she also ends up divorcing Harry some day. The only reason the marriage is still surviving is that Harry allowed her to put a very short leech around his neck with which she controls him with ruthless command of total obedience.
Speaking of the interview with Oprah, one glaring question which Oprah failed to ask Meghan was why she allowed another man to walk her down the aisle when her biological father is still alive, ready, willing and able to travel to England for the wedding. He had purchased a wedding tuxedo, shoes, shirt and tie and was even rumored to be taking lessons on how to interact with the royal family and has made plans about getting his travel documents including his airfare ticket. So what exactly did her father do wrong that is unforgivable and unpardonably so egregious that she disowned him and begged another man, who happened to be the father of the groom and her father in-law to take the place of her father by walking her down the aisle. This question would have made the interview. But Oprah decided not to go there possibly because Meghan demanded it is a no go area and a precondition for doing the interview.
So yes, she did not research into the royal family because she was desperate to marry a real life prince and in her gold digging rush pretended that everything was honky dory with the situation until they tried to make her a lady from the woman she is. She revolted because the street in her which was fortified by Hollywood made her naturally rebellious as she still craved the limelight's camera, lights and action, thinking that she can have it both ways. She forgot that she became part of an institution and that every institution has a code of existence including having someone who speaks for the institution by designation. Even presidents of the United States of America lose some privileges including freely doing whatever they want like normal citizens the moment they are sworn into office. It is therefore incredible that Meghan is whining about not being allowed to live "authentically" in the palace and this is a Hollywood personality complaining about putting up a facade.
It is her admission that the Queen made her feel welcome, so why did Meghan Markle not take her frustrations directly to the Queen and plead for her intervention if she was convinced that she was not the problem but other palace staffers. The only problem was that she did not fit in as she did not know how to be in her assigned place and wanted to be the show itself, instead of playing the sub act which was her role within the general order of things. She is an actress and complaining about putting up an appearance during their South African tour and you wonder what again did she do for a living before meeting Prince Harry if not putting up appearances of make believe. So what if anybody wondered how dark her son will be, is she herself not black afterall or did she think that her color was not visible or that the British people are color blind, the history of racism and slavery considered.
What was she thinking when she married into the British royal family where she does not naturally belong by reason of her skin color, divorcee status, a child of broken home and of course she is older than Prince Harry. Which parent anywhere would not raise those issues of concern if their son were to bring home such a woman and asks for their approval and blessing. What parent will not be thinking in the best interest of their son, afraid that a woman who was once divorced could also divorce again and leave their son stranded in love misery laland. And she refused to say who made the comment because according to her, such revelation will be so damaging to the monarchy and you wonder why she did the interview if her intention was not to damage the monarchy.
She tried to make it a racial issue but forgot that she has these other baggage which are not trendy for a prince's wife to have. Just like in fit for merchantability, she was not fit for the prince because she is "rotten" for a princess. She is not a virgin, she was married before. She was divorced before, She is older than Harry and she is black. If it was into a Kunte Kunte African Kingdom that she was marrying into that could be totally and completely tolerable; but into the Queen of the entire white nationhood worldwide? That was simply too much for her to ask for not to expect eyebrows being raised and asking for a glowing general acceptance by the British people albeit their tabloid press. She is an American and knows a thing or two about racial prejudices and why she thought life in Britain will be any different, especially inside the royal family, simply befuddles ICHEOKU as well as many other observers worldwide.
She said she thought about taking her life and you wonder why she did not think about getting divorce from Harry or even simply running away never to come back. She could have easily arranged a trip to America and abscond from there never to return back to England. But she chose the route of blackmailing Prince Harry into totally surrendering himself to her and when the pressure became unbearably too much, he caved in; believing that he was protecting his wife from going through another Paris tunnel of cruel fate just like his late mother Lady Di did. She played the victim card claiming that she was afraid for her life and this is an actress from a broken home who lived in Los Angeles ghetto and has practically seen it all, but she chose to act as a naive innocent little girl who was afraid and intimidated and literally held hostage by the British monarchy. ICHEOKU says, really?
ICHEOKU says is adamant that Meghan Markle was not forthright in the interview and instead of admitting that she went in for the adventure of marrying a real life prince, lied that it was her love for Prince Harry that made her marry him. How about the man she married previously and later divorced, where went the love which she had for him or was it not love that made her marry him. But she wanted to eat her cake and still have it; wanted the perks of being a princess but without the responsibilities that come with it. She wanted romance without finance. She wanted to have it both ways and she knows exactly what she was signing up to when she ensnared the prince and said I do to him and at the least, ought to have known. Further, whatever life and career she said that she had before meeting Prince Harry pales in comparison to the perks of marrying a real life prince and she knows it.
Prince Harry at least admitted to some truth that he wouldn't have abandoned his family and abdicated from his royal responsibility if not for Meghan Markle. In his explanation, just like the Biblical Eve who made Adam become aware of his nakedness in the Garden of Eden, Meghan made him become aware that he was trapped in the monarchy. This opened his eyes and the fight for liberation began. ICHEOKU says Prince Harry is also right that his mother Lady Di would have been sad and very angry at the development as majority of the discerning world is mad and very angry as hell that Harry allowed himself to be taken hostage by a contriving and conniving manipulative old Meghan.
Also, there would have been no Meghan in Harry's life had Lady Di been alive as she would have put her feet down to prevent it from ever happening. Harry also would not have turned into the unruly obtuse rascal which he became were Lady Di alive. As for those who say how about the Egyptian Arab guy who Lady Di was messing around with before they were both killed inside a Paris tunnel, ICHEOKU says she was only desperately crying for help and wanted to do something drastic to forcibly get some ears tuned in to her hurt feelings. ICHEOKU says likes the chicken coop, at least they won't be spending money on eggs and chicken stew; although they and Oprah Winfrey forgot about social safe distancing while in there despite making it a talking point at the beginning of the interview.
ICHEOKU says overall the interview was good but not as ballistic as was originally hyped. There was nothing disclosed which was not already known to the public, admitted they just confirmed them. Meghan Markle succeeded in putting a wedge between hitherto inseparable brothers; two princes who were yoked together by the tragedy of their mother's horrific death. What Lady Di put together, Meghan Markle has put asunder. She also made father and son to stop talking to each other as Prince Charles no longer communicates with his son, Harry; although rumors are rife that he did not actually sire him. It is simply waywardly that Prince Harry allowed himself to be used in this manner. He said they had to do what they had to do but some people only see him as a bewitched prince who has been taken hostage and now in a situation from which there is no plausible honorable exit.
He is only making the best he could under the circumstances to mask the great pain caused by his absconding from his royal responsibilities and abandoning his family. By his actions, he is giving the middle finger to the British people as well as the nations of the Commonwealth and in fact to the whole white people of the world who the British monarchy represents and means something dear. All these because of an old divorcee actress from a broken home and you ask yourself was Meghan worth the trouble of turning his back on his family. What would Don Michael Corleone say or do? But if the fate of Fredo is instructive, then Prince Harry is lucky that the Queen is not Don Michael Corleone. He should be ashamed of himself for running away instead of staying put and solving whatever problems which he brought upon himself and on the royal family from within the inside. Granting interviews and to a woman who does not believe in marriage will not cut it. As for Meghan, she is a bad news beaver and a royal home wrecker. It is sad.
