POBNEWS24.Net, Dhaka, Mar 10, 2021:The explosive interviews between American Duke and Duchess of Sussex Prince Harry and Megan Merkel with American talk show host Oprah Winfrey have become very significant for a number of reasons. One of the reasons is that Prince Harry mentioned his mother Princess Diana’s name many times in this interview.
Megan Merkel also said that after she got married to the British royal family, she talked to Diana’s friends about the pressure on her, “because … who else could understand the stress of being inside that family?” The experiences of these two women in the British royal family are being matched.
Prince Harry said he feared ‘history was repeating itself’. He and Megan then decided to step down from their duties as senior members of the royal family. Harry also noted that the British tabloids treated his mother, Princess Diana, the same way he treated his wife, Megan. Although he has said this before.
Diana and Megan in the media
Princess Diana is one of the most famous women in the world and has often been featured in newspapers. These writings include his charitable work as well as the events that became the headlines of his personal life. Writer Katie Nicole told BBC Radio One’s Newsbeat about the royal family that she was the most talked about person in the royal family, and no one could take her place. His wide acquaintance and recognition all over the world, he is a hugely popular personality at the international level.
But Katie also says that the positive news about Diana has not always been there. He said Diana also faced criticism in the media. Since Diana was one of the most popular personalities in the world, photojournalist paparazzi constantly chased Prince William and Harry.
Journalist James Brooks made a similar comment. “Sometimes Diana had a very good relationship with the media, they treated her very well, they spoke on her behalf,” he said. Again and again Diana used to complain against the media for blowing her nose. There was a mixed relationship.
In the last years of her life, Diana herself has given interviews to the media. Some of whom commented that Diana was seeking publicity and was encouraging the media to bring her case to the fore. Megan, on the other hand, shut down her personal blog after becoming a royal bride, and much of what she said before this interview with Winfrey revolved around her charitable work. But Katie Nicole says some people think Megan and Harry have said something contradictory.
Peaceful life?
In January 2020, Harry and Megan announced that they were stepping down as senior members of the royal family. They moved to Canada, thence to California. They recently announced that they would no longer return to the UK as members of the British royal family. However, Katie Nicole says that in this interview, the couple gave a lot of detailed information about their life after moving to America. They have never spoken so openly about their lives in the UK.
After stepping down from royal duties, the couple began podcasting on Spotify, signed a deal with Netflix, and interviewed James Corden and Oprah Winfrey. Nickel said some people said the couple moved there because they wanted a peaceful life. If not their question then why did they give such detailed information about their son by interviewing James Corden and Oprah Winfrey ?. But not going to stay in Britain and avoiding the media is the real reason for their emigration, which many people do not believe. They didn’t know much about Harry and Megan what they know now.
Harry told Oprah that the deal with Netflix and Spotify was never part of their plan. But at the beginning of 2020, his family “completely stopped paying them all.”
Princess Diana’s death and paparazzi
James Brooks said a large number of journalists and photographers followed him wherever he went to report on his every move. James thinks Harry’s views on the media are linked to the death of his mother, Princess Diana. He said Harry and William’s views on the media were tainted by their mother’s death. Because in their eyes the paparazzi (picture hunters) constantly teased his life.
Diana died in a car accident on August 31, 1997, in a tunnel in Paris. Harry was only 12 then. Henry Paul, the driver of the car, was driving under the influence of alcohol and the paparazzi were chasing the motorbike behind their car. Investigations later revealed that Diana had died unlawfully due to “complete negligence” on the part of the driver and the paparazzi.
In a BBC documentary in 2016, Prince Harry talked about the role of these photographers behind his mother’s death. He said the hardest part was accepting that the people who had chased him through the tunnel to take pictures of him were taking pictures of his mother dying in the back seat of the car.
Negative coverage
Katie Nicole says that even after Prince Harry issued a statement in October 2019, his idea was that “the way the paparazzi chased Diana back they may not have followed Megan.” However, he thinks that Harry was clearly annoyed with Megan’s repeated criticism of the news. He (Harry) has criticized the journalists who are constantly fueling negative attitudes towards his wife. Numerous negative stories have been written about the cost of money. This includes the story of spending public tax money on repairing their homes.
The Harry and Megan couple later recouped ২৪ 2.4 million. The Duchess of Sussex has also written about the cost of designer clothing. Millions of rupees have been spent on these clothes. Katie Nicole says many different stories have been published about their marriage. Rumors have been circulating that Megan wanted to spread perfume (air freshener) in the air of St. George’s Church, their wedding venue, and rumors have surfaced that Megan showed off her mood during the wedding. There have been rumors of a feud between Kate (William’s wife) and Megan over the dress worn by Prince William’s daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Megan tells Oprah that she didn’t cry over Charlotte’s outfit, but the opposite happened. A few days before the wedding, Kate expressed her displeasure with the girls who will be with Megan with flowers at the wedding. For which I cried. Kate later apologized for the incident and gave me flowers and a note to settle the matter.
Megan said in the interview that Kate was “a good man” and that she hoped Kate would take the initiative to correct the story herself.
‘Being in the public eye is not new to him’
Some people say that the difference between Megan and Princess Diana is that Megan is not a girl who hides her face from people’s eyes. She was a star before she married Harry. But Katie Nicole doesn’t agree with them. He said that he was accustomed to star life before marriage, but he could not be compared to being a member of the royal family. Yes- she was a star, but she wasn’t a first-rate actress like Angelina Jolie or Nicole Kidman. Megan herself has admitted that. His every move is being judged, people are measuring his every step, he has never had such an experience.
“I think Megan has been judged just as well as other members of the royal family,” he said. People have forgotten now, but the Duchess of Cambridge Kate was also initially criticized in the tabloids. Katie says the problem is that people are very interested in Harry and Megan. But whether that interest level is exceeded, what is being said is how acceptable the problem is. The media will report on the members of the royal family, that is their job. But it must be fair and objective, and it must be neutral.
