  • You know, I hope that this won't be catastrophic for the family.

  • I think that after this interview airs, many people are going to wonder why the royal family couldn't make this work.

  • The monarchy failed in terms of there was a golden opportunity to modernize with this couple, and, uh, it didn't happen.

  • They lost.

  • They lost what could have been.

  • They said they were leaving because they wanted privacy, and it seems in the last year that they've done very little other than seek publicity.

  • I have not seen enthusiasm at this level.

  • For a Royals related stories since the weddings, the royal weddings of both Meghan and Harry and William and Kate.

  • It is really off the charts.

  • I would say it's sort of the, you know, like on the on the level of the Oscars, the Super Bowl.

  • For the people who follow this couple, it's a really big deal.

  • On the whole, the problem is that the interviewers doing the interview are very professional, very good at their jobs.

  • You know, Oprah is absolutely top of her field in America, and she's going to go for the big headlines, and I'm not sure that that Harry and Megan are going to be able to swerve them.

  • I think that to be successful in America, you have to be able to share your personal triumphs and struggles, because if that is all kept to to yourself Americans, you just don't get the buy in right.

  • The emotional buy in from American audiences.

  • You know, Americans love a happy ending, and they also love a story in which someone has a connection to a real person.

  • And I think that's what Meghan and Harry are doing again, breaking royal protocol in terms of the way it's always been done.

  • But Diana did the same, and it just made Americans feel even more connected to her in a way that is just sort of, you know, unbreakable, really.

  • So I think there's the potential for that here, too.

You know, I hope that this won't be catastrophic for the family.
