It's the Meghan never mind Harry show

With all due respect to the Duchess of Sussex who has been the focus of an unbelievable amount of column inches in the last week or so, it's clear that she wears the trousers in the Meghan/Harry family. So whatever is said in the Oprah Winfrey interview tomorrow night, the main interest will be in what Meghan has to say. We already know from cleverly publicised clips of the two-hour interview that she is going to take on The Firm, the rather trite name given to the Royal Family. Harry is very much second fiddle. He is, after all, brother to the second in line to the throne, grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and son of the first in line to the throne. So whatever he says to back up his wife he is not going to say anything so explosive that the world will be shocked. He is a member of the Royal Family still, she isn't anymore. So he has more to lose if he attacks the Queen or any other member of the family he grew up with. Meghan, on the other hand, has already lost what she gained when she married into The Firm. She has rejected everything that was there for her to enjoy, including of course a fancy house with all the trimmings, servants, staff, Rolls Royces and chats with the Qyueen over scrambled eggs. All that has gone and she is now an independent person shot of all the royal trappings. And, judging by one of the clips released, absolutely over the moon that she can say what she wants when she wants and doesn't have a royal aide listening in as she telephones her friends. She feels liberated, she says. Well all fine and good. For her. But not for Harry. Harry is still half royal and half independent and doesn't know which way to turn. He will always be a hybrid because it's impossibe for him to cast off his royal origins and become an "ordinary" person, whatever he may claim in the Oprah interview. He knows his new role which is to support everything Meghan says and does but what's going on inside his head and heart we'll never truly know. He must be suffering from anguish that he has screwed everything up so badly and inwardly he knows that it was his choice of wife which brought everything crumbling down around him. And yet it was not like this from the beginning. It could have all been fairytale stuff. The press and public adored her. She is gorgeous to look at, beautifully spoken, wonderfully self-assured. Perfection. But it was not to be. She got it into her head that everyone was against her and even though she declared she knew exactly what it would be like to be a member of the British royal family, she found very quickly that she couldn't stand it. She hated the protocol and restrictions on her liberty and came to believe that criticisms in the media were all about racism. From then on it was nothing but disaster. And Harry had to go along with it whether he wanted to or not. So it was off to LA to live a different Hollywood-style life with multi-million dollar showbizzy contracts. And now tell-all time with Oprah Winfrey. For Harry it will be the door finally slamming in his face. For Meghan it will be the door finally opening wide to new fame and wealth and freedom.
