It’s worth re-reading the original statements from the Queen and from the Sussexes’ office following the formalization of the Sussexit. There’s very careful (and yet vague) wording about how the Sussexes can make money, and whether they could actually do a “tell all” interview or memoir or anything. The careful-yet-vague wording is important because the Sussexes will have a lot of options about how and where to tell their stories, if they tell them at all. I got the feeling that the Queen’s only real option was gently suggesting to Harry and Meghan “please don’t be tacky about it.” But you know those pearl-clutchers – everything is tacky to them. Which gives Harry and Meghan the freedom to do whatever they want, following their own code of what is and is not too much. I genuinely believe that at some point in the near future, one of them will give a very notable interview. But to whom? Oprah? Gayle King? Omid Scobie? Anna Wintour? Or… Ellen DeGeneres?
Meghan Markle has told her inner circle of friends she is planning to give her first interview to Ellen DeGeneres after the two have become close, insiders exclusively told DailyMail.com.
‘Ellen and Meghan have already discussed a sit-down interview. That’s been in the works for quite some time now,’ a source at the Ellen Show confirmed. The two met by chance years ago at a dog shelter in Los Angeles where Ellen encouraged Meghan to adopt her first dog Bogart, and the women have stayed in touch. Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi even took a trip to London to visit Prince Harry and Meghan after the birth of Archie over the summer, remarking on her talk show: ‘I see them get attacked and it’s not fair. They are two of the most down-to-earth compassionate people, they’re doing so much good for the world.’
It’s because of their friendship that Meghan wants to give Ellen her first interview, as a friend told DailyMail.com: ‘[Meghan] said Ellen understands her pain and suffering. That she epitomizes authenticity. [Meghan] feels like they are kindred spirits.’
A spokesperson for Ellen did not return DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
‘Ellen getting the first shot at an in-depth interview is surely going to put Oprah’s – (and Gayle King’s) nose out of joint,’ a source added to DailyMail.com. ‘After all, Oprah wooed Meghan’s mother by having her spend the day in Montecito, wrangled an invite to the wedding and has been pretty vocal in her support of the couple’s decision to break away,’ the source said.
Well, actually, Meghan has been smart to cultivate friendships with several important people in media, not just Ellen and Oprah. Meghan has a buffet of choices, and her decision of who gets her exclusive will be very telling. If she goes with Ellen, it’s because Meghan knows Ellen will go very, very soft and Meghan will be able to dictate terms. If she goes with Gayle, it will be because Meghan wants the largest audience: network television, with time on the CBS morning show AND what would inevitably be a prime-time special. If she goes with Oprah, it’s friggin’ OPRAH, but Meghan wouldn’t be able to dictate many terms and Oprah would probably want the interview on OWN (a smaller audience).
All that being said, of course I don’t think the Daily Mail is actually talking to Meghan’s friends, nor do I believe that Meghan has already decided where to tell her story. And the palace denied the DM’s story anyway, but that was predictable. That being said… Ellen, Gayle and Oprah are the big three options. I would also think that Anna Wintour would love to get Meg on the cover of Vogue, and Radhika Jones would be stupid to not be actively seeking out Meghan for a Vanity Fair cover story. Who else? I bet Anderson Cooper has called. I bet the Today Show has too. I do feel like Meghan will give “the first interview” to someone and it will significant.

I could see it being Ellen as a total soft ball interview, where Ellen makes a lot of jokes and Meghan doesn’t have to get into any details but can talk about their foundation.
I think either Gayle or Oprah would be tougher.
I could also see Meghan doing the celebrity test where you give different information to different people in your circle and if any of that “inside” information ends up in the news, you know who the blabbermouth is.
I’ve been wondering about that too with some of these articles. But I think those kinds of shenanigans could negatively effect their lawsuit, so it’s probably just the DM fabricating out of whole cloth.
Meghan will never do a tell all. Rhe interview will be about their foundation. No friend is talking to DM, that is another shady way of getting the public pissed off with Meghan
^^^agree, all of her close friends are very tight lipped as they say, when it comes to Meghan. I don’t believe one of her friends would run to the media. DM is sh1t, doing her this way.
I actually thought she might give her first interview to Ben Mulroney on CTV’s Your Morning.
First of all, they are friends, so he will show respect and know which areas to avoid.
I really can’t wait to see it. And I hope she pulls no punches- I mean I know she won’t light the royal family up but dang I wish she would.
I hope not, Ellen is insufferable as it is. Gayle or Oprah would be a better bet, esp when presenting herself as a serious philanthropist (which is what I think she wants to do). Ellen is all fluff and no substance.
I agree 100%. I find Ellen absolutely insufferable at this point.
Ellen is the worst!! In her early stand up days, I really found her funny. Now, her insufferable phoniness and general meanness just colors everything for me.
There won’t be a “personal” interview like that with anyone. I seriously doubt they’d want to burn all the bridges behind them. The only kinds of interviews there may be will be about their foundation/charities, and perhaps let a “softball” question about how they’re doing going forward (that’s been pre-approved).
(Hope things are looking up for you, Erinn!)
ETA: For the CB attorneys: Couldn’t Toxic Tom’s “threats” to come at them, monthly, in interviews, be seen in a court as harassment, that they can file suit over to get him to stop talking about them? It literally IS a threat!
I liked her early stuff, too. I think even around the time of the first Finding Nemo, I still mainly liked her. It seems like she’s kind of just hit a point of fame (and maybe exhaustion) where she doesn’t give many craps anymore.
I think we’re more likely to see them doing a joint venture with someone like Gayle, or hell, David Sazuki or someone like that where they bring attention to a cause than we are to see a sit-down interview about anything personal.
I actually got to meet with a company who might be buying us out on Thursday, Jan. So things are looking a little more hopeful! Two more are coming this week <3
@(TheOG)Jan –
Hmm, it’s tricky with an American citizen in Mexico giving interviews to/getting money from a British media company about an American woman, her British husband, and their dual American-British son who are living in Canada – lots of international law issues, and choice of law/which law governs issues. Luckily, the laws are relatively similar for most purposes between at least US-UK-Canada (except that UK slightly quirky when it comes to media)…
First of all, he’s threatening to give TV interviews. It’s not exactly extortion, because he’s getting paid by the media company, not trying to get paid by the Sussexes. It’s emotional blackmail, sure, but that’ doesn’t make it illegal. If it crosses the line into actual blackmail – through what he says on air, in papers, through letters he writes to her – then that’s something different, but again, depends on which law actually applies.
If he and TM Jr do make the trip to Canada with a camera crew, it may/may not cross the line into stalking – depends on Canadian national/provincial/local laws, and exactly how intrusive they are – notice nothing really happened to ToS in the UK, because she basically just handed off a letter to the wrong guard, who chucked it in the trash (most likely) and she went on her way with the felon, trying on masks – which is creepy af, but not really illegal.
I think it’ll be interesting how this affects the court case against the media cos. in the UK. As there is ongoing litigation, and Meghan and TM may both be witnesses, at what point does this charade become witness tampering? The media companies are being sued, and they are paying a probable witness in that case/giving him a script to discuss the upcoming litigation publicly. Again, it depends on UK law, but at some point, at least in the US, the judge would probably issue a gag order to prevent him at least discussing anything that is the subject of the litigation, to protect TM the witness as well as prevent contaminating any potential jury pool…
Thanks, Enny. Sigh…it shouldn’t be THIS hard for them to get this toxic POS to leave them alone.
Erinn, 🤞🏻!! 😊
@og and @enny I think it will be pretty hard to win a lawsuit based on Thomas Markle threatening on media he’s going to do an interview till she speaks to him. Now if he actually manages to do those interviews maybe, depending on what he says and the country’s laws. Not familiar with Canada, but that kind of case would still be very hard to win in the US cause of her public figure status. Slander is harder to prove on public figures and damages would be hard to ascertain too as they haven’t actually shown how much they can make. Actually the U.K. is more protective than the US. You might have more luck with cyber bullying laws in the US depending on the state and how he made these threats. Sorry just the way it is.
Also, I have read the U.K. cases and Harry’s case will most likely be dismissed or settled for peanuts. It’s primarily based on an older criminal case which was tried and convicted a while ago. Meghan’s case with her father’s letter has more merit, but reading the case info published it has significant obstacles to overcome. One way to make sure none of Thomas Markle’s ideas work is to stop reading anything he offers. If his articles get less traction the outlets stop giving him a story.
I also don’t think the Sussexes will do a big tell all. At least not for a long while. I feel they want a higher status career, philanthropist etc and too many of those type of people will think a tell all is just grabbing for publicity. Now a few years down the line if all doesn’t work maybe. I’m betting Ellen on the show small interview maybe with pretext being her voiceover work for the elephant charity. Right up Ellen’s alley.
I agree 1000% I cannot stand Ellen
Don’t worry, if it is Ellen Meghan goes on, Ellen will be forgiven for all the things she has said & done.
Lol. There will be a lot of retcon going on.
Oprah went to the wedding and Gayle went to the baby shower. If I were them and Ellen gets the interview (assuming they weren’t asked and turned it down), I would be hurt. And after that, pissed.
Agree 100%. I stopped watching Ellen years ago. Something was off and then I read that Ellen is a mean girl of the 1st order and also exerts Svengali-type power over some of her guests.
Then there’s the issue of Ellen strong arming Meghan into adopting her dog. Ugh. I’m a big Megan fan and I am interested in her story but I agree that Oprah or Gayle is a far better choice. I truly hope that with Ellen will step back, as she should.
Agree!
Agreed. I think Anderson Cooper would be an interesting choice though.
Ellen is an awful choice. She is insufferable & it seems her “kindness” is saved for other celebrities & those who get her ratings. I’m sorry I’m still not over the cozying up to a war criminal she calls friend.
Snappyfish, I had to Google Ellen to find out WHICH war criminal you were speaking of. So many came to mind….lol. I was surprised by the result.
I can see her doing an interview but only when she has something to promote.
Yeah, I really don’t see them doing a tell all.
Yeah i think theyll wait it out. They already did that interview for their Africa documentary. Itll probably be a while until they do a sit down – probably like “One Year Later” style where they talk about why they stepped back and current projects. Right now everything is so up in the air, it wouldnt be wise to do major interviews yet imo…
I’ve she/they do an interview now, it may be because the whole “Sussexit” was just a diversion to set the stage for an impending divorce.
If they really see a common future together, an interview is the last thing they should do. Harry is, and always will be, a member of his birth family, whom he presumably loves (and they love him). An interview could damage that relationship irreparably – thereby also damaging his marriage, certainly long-term.
Keep dreaming. If a divorce was pending, Meghan and Archie would be in Vancouver alone.
HARRY CHOSE MEGHAN. It seems like I have to shout it for the folks who are STILL in denial. Unlike, the other one Diana’s sons who married the only woman who would settle for his boring ass, Harry married the woman he fell in love with.
@kerwood I do see if they did a big tell all interview it could be damaging to their marriage and not just because Harry was born Royal more cause their life would be a more celebrity and a lot of those relationships are challenging. However Harry and Meghan seem very private. They didn’t even release the godparents name and one was his nanny. I think this is a mute point as they have shown no signs they want that as much fun as it might be to all of us.
I hope she doesn’t do an interview at all
I’m with you.
An interview would not be advisable
I agree. I’m here and enjoy commenting and reading the gossip as it plays out, but an interview? NO. NO. NO. A softball interview with Ellen would be beyond tacky of her to do at this time; an interview with Gayle and Oprah would be more powerful, but any interview now would be extremely disloyal to her own statements about respecting their ongoing support for the monarchy on SussexRoyal. Whatever is going on behind the scenes, Harry still loves his family and — by his own words — admires and supports his Queen. If Meghan does an interview before she and Harry are even out of the gate and stabilized with their foundation and work, then —I’m sorry, but — I’m going to have to rethink this famewhore complaint that is thrown at her. (I think both Charles and Diana’s interviews are cringeworthy and self-serving in the worst way.). Let her family and the leaking royals go low — she and Harry need to take a page from the Obamas and go high, not low. An interview a year or so from now focused on their foundation and work etc. is the best way to go in my opinion.
Yes I think it would be a very unwise PR mistake to do a tell all interview
I agree. Doesn’t matter with whom, people will just take it as both of them complaining.
Same.
I think, if we see her give an interview at all, it will be about the foundation – I just can’t see them doing a tell-all interview, even a soft one, unless they are totally severing ties with the BRF, which Harry said in his speech that they aren’t doing/don’t want to do..but who knows!
Yep! A tell-all isn’t happening. Decades too soon if ever.
This has been denied and I do not understand why people perform outrage over things Meghan has not done yet.
That is why she left the BRF and Britain behind, it must have been exhausting to defend yourself from actions you have not taken.
I wish her the very best in her future endeavours
I really dont see them doing a “tell all” interview, I think they would talk more about the damage from the media ( Daily Fail etc.) without pointing at anyone at the Firm, and I can see them doing interviews to promote or roll out new projects.
If I’m advising her, don’t do an interview right now. Lay low. Get to work. Spend time with your husband and baby boy. If and when there’s something big to promote or talk about? Go to Gayle! Ellen?? No no no.
Totally agree.
Agree. Gayle and Oprah have defended Meghan full throatedly and often. Do not snub these powerful aunties
Since when is the Daily Mail a legitimate source for literally anything ??
Why would she do a sit down interview? That’s tacky. She should continue to work and do her thing. Perhaps a print interview later down the road would be more appropriate.
I agree.
It won’t be Ellen. And I thought they met thru Nacho the polo star. At least that what Ellen said. If I had a say it’s be Gayle. I actually think they ARE friends. And she wouldn’t go too hard on her because of that.
Uhhhh no. I would be SHOCKED if Ellen gets the interview. She’s not a real journalist or interviewer! She’s a celeb with a talk show. My money is on Gail. And then Oprah.
LOL @ the DM having ANY sources among Meghan’s friends. This story is made up BS.
Yep!
I think this interview was already denied happening. I don’t think Meghan will do an interview about her current situation any time soon.
Gayle or Oprah… or even Howard Stern – but please not Ellen
Howard Stern?! Wtf. Please tell me that’s a joke and not something you’d consider a legitimate option.
Yes I was kidding
…and it was funny:)
I know you were kidding about Howard Stern, but lately his interviews have been pretty great. He would be interesting, but yeah no way.
What about Beth Stern’s work with animals? There’s one connection they need to make surely.
As seems to be the consensus in this thread, it should be Oprah. But I also agree with another commenter in saying that she needs to pay low for a while and let her and Harry’s work speak for itself.
I don’t understand why this site thinks that Meghan and Harry are going to do a tell all book and/or interview. They’re not. They are still a part of the family and it would be tacky. I’m sure they will talk about the move more in depth later but in relation with promoting their charities. Anybody expecting a takedown of the Royals will be disappointed.
Well I think most of us agree they won’t do a tell all interview. We may want them to do one at some point, but they’re not going to spill the royal tea anytime soon.
I doubt she’ll do an interview. Even a fluffy one with Ellen
The most I can see is them talking to the media when the foundation is launched but even then probably not sit downs. Just talking to the camera on the day of the event, that’s it.
I don’t think Ellen would be a good choice at all.
I think if Meghan wants to do an interview she should do a print one with either Vogue or Vanity Fair. At least she would have more control and could say what she wants to say. If she did one on camera right now every second would be dissected, scrutinised and picked apart.
Vanity Fair??! The same Vanity Fair that publishes Katie Nicholls’ garbage? I would hope not.
That is very true!
@Carmen, Amen! I saw that article and I was seething.
If I were the Sussexes I wouldn’t give Vanity Fair the time of day. Their coverage of the Sussexes borders on Daily Mail coverage way to often. Her interview with them pre-marriage was one thing, but it’s been nothing but attack dog journalism post-wedding.
Didn’t she do Vanity Fair before she got engaged to Harry?
I would love Vogue and Vanity Fair covers so British media will be pressed LOL
Oprah is her smartest option. And they could negotiate where it airs. Who wouldn’t air it?
Ellen would be so softball as to be useless. It’s one thing to be subtle, it’s another to be utterly devoid of content. That’s Ellen.
Lord the DM just can’t stop themselves. Saying it’ll make Oprah and Gayle mad if she doesn’t choose one of them. They can’t publish one article without saying something nasty about Meghan. Honestly I’m amazed they’re not shoehorning insults about Meghan in to every article they have, including “curious dog gets head stuck in wicker pot”.
The British media’s creativity is amazing. No matter what the topic, they’re finding ways to take digs and pot shots at Meghan. It’s all so sickening….like a psycho ex that won’t leave you alone.
HB denied the Ellen interview already. I don’t see either of them doing an interview or a tell-all. Not while the subject is still hot at least. It’d be yearsss down the road if at all. I think they both just want to work and watch their baby grow *shrug* why invite additional stress?
Gayle King, yep yep. I would even put Al Roker on that list. Both would have a good rapport with both Harry and Meghan.
Would Meghan really do a soli interview at this point?
I think that if there is an interview, it will be a joint one to present a united front.
Meghan is smart enough to know that a solo interview just fuels the “selfish, she just want to be a star, she’s tricked Harry blah blah” narrative.
Tell-all interviews are definitely off the table, so Ellen makes the most sense, but not until they have something to announce.
Prince Harry will always be the bigger get because he has 35 years of stories to tell within a family that is exposed but mysterious, and they can be spilt up. His relationship with his mother is its own book.
Anything they do will probably have a charity tie-in like Angelina does with her fashion and beauty work.
I don’t see them doing an interview for quite a while, only after they’ve launched their foundation and have projects to talk about.
Unfortunately, in a growing number of articles, I’m seeing the royal reporters and other deniers of racism who are entrenched in British society sought and quoted as authorities on Harry in particular. They’re supposed to have insight into his decision making process and they’re doing a hatchet job in dissecting Sussexit for North Americans and conveniently leaving racism out, if they can get away with it. So far, North American reporters have been persistent about at least mentioning racism, though.
They’re clearly trying to poison North Americans against the Sussexes now that they’ve driven them out of the UK.
Toxic Tom is now threatening to give monthly interviews until he gets a response from Meghan. Vile trash!
So I hope the Sussexes think long and hard and get lots of excellent advice about when and how to get their truth out there again. I think they will need to.
Honestly they already did, and masterfully so, in my opinion. So I really am stunned at how people are just sticking to the narrative the BRF has leaked and to the spin of the RR’s. But it’s apparent we live in strange times.
To me, William’s shenanigans with the press were clumsy, obvious, lacking any subtlety, wit or nuance. Yet he’s coming out the golden boy, currently. Fine, if that’s what the public wants, enjoy marinating in the mediocrity. It will be interesting to see how he tries to throw the Wessexes under the bus when they inevitably outshine him and Catherine. I’ve read they’re going to be drafted as the new replacements for the Sussexes. This should be interesting. Popping my popcorn….
I agree GuestWithCat. I love your …..”marinating in the mediocrity….” above. Sussexes need to let history play out and right the pendulum, which it will. I hope they do not sink to the level of behavior currently on display by BOTH of their families. As to Thomas Markle threatening to give monthly interviews: I think he shows himself to be more unhinged and rabid in each new interview. He is self-imploding on a world stage.
Monthly interviews? But what can Despicable Dad talk about? He has no current knowledge of Harry and Meghan and can’t spill anything new. All he can do is continue with his mouth-foaming rants that the media is all too eager to whip him up into.
Get Peter Mansbridge out of retirement to do the interview – he’s simply the best.
Hi, Canadian in Media here. Peter Mansbridge is not only a terrible interviewer (see Stephen Harper interview 2011) but he is a well known sexual predator. Used to lock his producers in his office and touch them – Matt Laurer style. Remember: Jian Ghomeshi learned how to behave. He came up in a culture.
Oh I can’t wait! The sooner the better!!
I agree Lali!! while I don’t think they will, I’d like to see Harry and Meghan do a joint interview and burn it all to the ground, the media, the courtiers and the various palaces.
I’m here for it!
Vanity Fair and Anna Wintour/Vogue won’t do it, it would forever alienate them from the rest of the BRF. And Oprah won’t do it either for the same reason. Look, they all want to be knighted by the Queen, so they won’t do it. Ellen is likely choice because she doesn’t have ambitions in that direction. And she will be soft, etc. But isn’t Ellen a bit problematic these days?
Thank you for saying exactly what I’ve been thinking.
Most people are not going to burn their professional bridges for these two.
They have been used as a foot into the Royal door. Since they are now estranged from the Royal’s they will be thrown to the wolves.
And Oprah would be the first in line to do it.
?? Do you really think that Oprah would care about ‘burning professional bridges’ with the BRF? They’re not in her circle, and they certainly don’t seem to number amongst her interests. I doubt she’d even give it a second thought.
I don’t think they’ll d any type of tell all interview anytime soon. Too much to process, and it will just become a back and forth with the press and Markle’s still whinging. No way will they talk to Vanity a Fair. Their reporting on Meghan has been so bad and one sided. Still can’t get over that ridiculous gender neutral baby story. I think the Sussexes will lay low on spilling tea, because there is no benefit to them. They said a lot in the South Africa interview and don’t know what more there is to tell beyond that. They need time to set up their new life and this is just beginning stages. The tell-all, if any, is still in the making.
To add further, the Royals are doing a good job of telling on themselves.William’s blatant jealousy and leaks obvious for all to see, Andrew back in The NY Times for refusing to cooperate on Epstein investigation, Charles’ Duchy finances being scrutinized, how minor Royals profit off their connections, Kate and Charles initiatives fizzling out the gate because no one really takes them seriously. The Sussexes were driving the Royal interest and were being the human shields. When you allow one of the Royals to be attacked so baselessly and disrespected to the point they up and leave, you pull back the curtain and expose all of them to disarray. The Sussexes are doing the right thing by laying low and keeping their cards close to their chest.
In fairness to Andrews lawyer after the media interview disaster I think any lawyer worth their salt would never let Andrew talk to anyone especially law enforcement without multiple lawyers, signed agreements, and perhaps a muzzle for him.
What is white privilege? It’s the perception that white people are always knowledgeable, trustworthy, correct, on top of things. They are assumed to be this when they walk through the door. They don’t have to prove their abilities. If they make mistakes, an acceptable excuse will be found.
POC, and WOC in particular, are incompetent and untrustworthy, incorrect, lacking in knowledge until they prove otherwise. The assumption is that they don’t know what they’re doing, their motives are suspect, and that any mistakes are a result of their innate inferiority.
This is on display throughout the saga of Meghan in the RF. People always assume the worst of her motives, her knowledge, her trustworthiness. No one ever assumes she will do “the right thing” (whatever that is) but automatically assumes she’ll do the wrong thing without any proof of it. Have we seen any proof of a tell-all interview in the works? Of Sussex lingerie or Sussex diet lollypops or Sussex contour palettes for sale? Have we seen them grifting for money? Why all of the hand wringing over what they MIGHT do?
Because people assume she’s incompetent and illegitimate until proven otherwise. And Harry, grown man, is under the spell of her “dark magic” so he has no mind or reason of his own. Imagine the Sussexes letting the tabloids make a “Meghan’s cuties” calendar with Archie like Kate’s cuties. Imagine the Sussexes selling access to the royal family on camera (like the Yorks). Imagine the Sussexes making milk commericals in China like Peter phillips.
This shit is exhausting. I hope the 2 of them are enjoying peace and quiet in Canada. Their strength is phenomenal. Imagine the Cambridges going through what the Sussexes have gone through. I think they would be utterly crushed beyond hope of recovery. They sure as hell can’t take what they dish out.
Your assessment is 100% correct
Thank you! This misrepresentation has become really irritating and only seems to be getting worse.
On the flip side, it also seems like some of her fans are hoping she’ll do these things because they can’t understand how this would damage her. :-/
Guys, who do you think is the best choice? If you were to advise Meghan?
Honestly I’ve heard rumours Ellen is a b**.. (she has a difficult character which I sort of believe) and OTT and not funny anymore.
I agree with those who say rest first, family time then work and then maybe interview. Not right away.
The others might be more difficult but are more serious. Ellen can be OTT in her jokes and might bring Meghan down and not expose the Meghan’s full potential.
lisa laflamme after foundation launch
The last thing Meghan should do right now is give an interview to ANYONE. Her best tactic would be to do some PSA spots for some of the charitable organizations she and Harry are involved with, some speaking tours and meet & greets. Too much public exposure right now would create just another opportunity for the gutter press to jump all over her accusing them of just shilling the royal connection to enrich themselves.
I agree with all of this, adding only that hopefully they’ll give themselves a well-deserved break first, to recover from their ordeal and simply enjoy some peace. It’s so fantastic that the Victorians are driving the paparazzi away!
I said this before and I’ll say it again: Meghan’s friends aren’t talking to the Daily Mail – the paper she’s sueing – about anything. This is just like them spreading the lie, right before the wedding, that Doria was going to do an interview with Oprah, something that never happened.
Watch the Daily Mail continue to go through a list of American women and black people who are supposedly going to do an interview with them, just like first Oprah, then Gayle than Michelle Obama were all supposedly advising H&M about leaving, which also didn’t turn out to be true.
They aren’t going to do an interview anytime soon. And when they finally DO an interview, it won’t be a tea-spilling “tell all” one. It’ll probably focus directly on the two of them (because Meghan ain’t doing an interview on this by herself, more fool Daily Mail) and it’ll likely focus mostly on what their new foundation or whatever is about. So if they do one, it’d likely be sometime after the Spring. And they are both savvy enough not to do an interview with someone who’s in the “inner circle” as it were. Ellen has held Archie and is clearly in that circle, so no, she’s right out, just like Oprah and Gayle are.
I can totally see Anderson Cooper being the choice, for a 60 Minutes piece, sometime later in the year however. Or even Ronan Farrow (if he’s into doing interviews and not just investigative pieces). Soledad O’Brien has also expressed interest. Any interview will be with a reporter like that. But, again, watch any interview they do happening sometime after spring, IMO, and not anytime before that. And the Daily Mail is just throwing stuff at the wall, hoping something sticks. They have ZERO inside info about these two anymore, not that KP has zero access to anything they may do anymore.
Excellent points morrigan01.
If and when the time comes, I think Soledad O’Brien would be an excellent choice!
There’s actually 4 options, one of them being Katie Couric who she also knows.
It is more important for the Duchess to live her truth. The family has prioritized peace and quiet not public relations.
I can see them eventually doing an interview with Gayle on 60 Minutes, with the focus being on their foundation and charity work.
LOL the Daily Fail is good at writing fiction, at least 🤷🏻♀️
Meghan and Harry will be criticized no matter WHO they choose. Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow are dead and Barbara Walter’s is gaga.
I dont care for Ellen, but it will turn the Cambridges and Ma Middleton pale with rage and jealousy, so why not.
The attack from the reporters and family post leaving makes sense in an abusive Awful way. Come back or we will have to keep attacking you even though you left because we are abusive and attacked you and your child. You thought before was bad well you don’t have our “protection” now!!! Run…RUN …R.U.n. Leave all these people to stew and live your best life.
Why do they need to do an interview. I don’t see W&K doing/expected to do this type of thing. This is just a ploy by the DM (or Williams PR) to make Sussexes look like celebrity while the white saviour royal couple do none of these things in comparison. This is so blatantly obvious, DM is biggest shit stirrer I’ve ever seen in my life. Listen H&M, just be true to you. You don’t need to cater to anyone, fans or haters, just be true to you.
This is another lie to try to vilify Meghan. If it ever happens it’ll be years from now after their 5yrs marriage or 3yrs foundation launch or something. I could see them both sitting down with oprah as well as other networks.
The only thing that I see Meghan doing again is the guest editing or writing columns. As an economist fan, I expect to see her teaming up to write an environmental protection essay probably around the time of Travelyst initiative official launch.
Harry and Meghan will want to be recognized as philanthropists and champions of social issues, not as celebrities. Ellen is a softball celebrity show where nothing meaningful is ever discussed. Meghan isn’t going to come out dancing, play games, get pranked or talk about her family. Any interview they do will be about causes with a high caliber journalists. No way does Harry talk about his family (Archie or the RF) with any reporter.
Meghan is still in the celebrity eye, and is apparently going for roles, so I’m not too sure she that she doesn’t want to be a celebrity any more. In my opinion, I believe she does want it to be all about her!!!
naomipaige- I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you’re new here. Although you certainly can’t read a room.
Before you post anymore on your opinions of Meghan, it would be a good idea to go through some of the back articles here on her. This is a pretty special website, where the writers delve into media analysis and PR in addition to reporting the stories themselves. Check out the archives on Meghan and Harry.
If I was the ‘family’ I would be completely worried what come out of her mouth. I’m sure everyone is on pis and needles to see what she might say.
