Meghan & Harry Crushed By More Hate After Meghan’s “Family” Post And SNL UK’s Brutal Opening Skit · I Do, Part 2

0:02
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Monday, September 14th, and we
0:06
Speaker 1: are hearing from Meghan Markle for the first time since
0:10
Speaker 1: moving back to the UK. And the world has responded
0:14
Speaker 1: rather meanly. And with that, welcome to this episode of
0:17
Speaker 1: Amy and TJ. It's a cute post, though.
0:22
Speaker 2: Isn't it? It's a cute post, but she cannot do
0:27
Speaker 2: anything without getting just massive amounts of controversy and criticism.
0:34
Speaker 2: She puts out a post, and if you haven't seen it,
0:36
Speaker 2: it's on her Instagram. And it's an idyllic Instagram post
0:41
Speaker 2: of their new life, just some snippets, a couple of videos,
0:45
Speaker 2: a couple of pictures of their new life in the
0:47
Speaker 2: United Kingdom. Why would that upset anybody? We're talking people
0:54
Speaker 2: throwing crazy amounts of shade on her from the fact
0:58
Speaker 2: that her kids don't have life jackets on the canoe
1:01
Speaker 2: with Harry while they're fishing.
1:02
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were going there.
1:04
Speaker 2: To the fact that they say this is fake, that
1:06
Speaker 2: there are old pictures because mom and dad, Harry and
1:10
Speaker 2: Meghan are in winter coats and the kids are in
1:12
Speaker 2: summer outfits.
1:13
Speaker 3: So some of this must be manufactured.
1:16
Speaker 2: Other people point to the fact that they're screaming and
1:19
Speaker 2: suing people about privacy and yet constantly showing her kids
1:23
Speaker 2: on social media. And just because she shows the back
1:27
Speaker 2: of her kid's head, she knows darn well that just
1:29
Speaker 2: makes people more interested in what they're doing.
1:32
Speaker 3: We could hear their voices.
1:34
Speaker 2: And yes, they even criticized the song she chose to
1:38
Speaker 2: put up on the Instagram feed. She did nothing right
1:41
Speaker 2: according to just about everybody.
1:43
Speaker 1: Babe, there was a lot there. There was a lot there.
1:46
Speaker 1: How bad is it?
1:47
Speaker 3: It's pretty bad.
1:48
Speaker 1: Okay, so first of all, everybody knows by now they
1:51
Speaker 1: moved back to the UK. They're not going to be
1:52
Speaker 1: working royals, and they say they want to have a
1:54
Speaker 1: private life fine and dandy. We know that Harry is
1:56
Speaker 1: going to be making some public events. this week tied
1:59
Speaker 1: to the Invictus Games. Megan, when are we seeing her
2:02
Speaker 1: again in public?
2:03
Speaker 3: We don't know.
2:03
Speaker 2: And after this post and all the criticism, I don't
2:06
Speaker 2: know when we're going to be seeing her next, even
2:07
Speaker 2: on her own social media feed.
2:09
Speaker 1: Okay, so she's back. They're back. This is the first
2:11
Speaker 1: time we're hearing from them. Okay, the post is simply showing...
2:16
Speaker 1: And you describe it a little more for me in
2:17
Speaker 1: the background song and all this, and it continues with
2:20
Speaker 1: this theme I forget sometimes. We still haven't seen these kids' faces.
2:24
Speaker 3: No, and it shows her kids. It's, of course, little
2:27
Speaker 3: Archie and Lilibet.
2:30
Speaker 2: I think Archie's running and he tells his sister like, go, go.
2:33
Speaker 3: And it kind of sounds like he has a little
2:34
Speaker 3: British accent. It's very cute.
2:36
Speaker 2: And then Lilibet's got her little red hair and a
2:39
Speaker 2: bun and she's chasing behind him in her bicycle. And
2:43
Speaker 2: you see them with the wildlife of the English countryside.
2:45
Speaker 3: There are deer running. They are fishing.
2:48
Speaker 1: Sounds amazing.
2:48
Speaker 3: They've got some.
2:49
Speaker 1: They're fishing at some point?
2:50
Speaker 2: Yep.
2:51
Speaker 3: They're on a boat with Harry fishing without life jackets.
2:54
Speaker 3: And they're around a little campfire.
2:58
Speaker 2: It looks like, wow, I want to be there. Again,
3:01
Speaker 2: it's idyllic. That's the best way for me to describe it.
3:04
Speaker 1: Can I ask if you, before reading all the criticism
3:08
Speaker 1: and whatnot, did you have a reaction to it?
3:11
Speaker 3: I personally just liked seeing them happy. Maybe I'm the...
3:16
Speaker 3: I'm definitely in the minority, and I think you are
3:18
Speaker 3: there too.
3:18
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not there to try and nitpick her. I
3:22
Speaker 2: do understand some of the criticism, however, about the fact
3:26
Speaker 2: that you can't say on one hand that you don't
3:29
Speaker 2: want people in your private life and then share your
3:32
Speaker 2: private life with.
3:33
Speaker 3: People and get upset about it.
3:35
Speaker 2: I also agree with a lot of the criticism. I
3:37
Speaker 2: have some really interesting comments I'm going to read for you,
3:40
Speaker 2: and I'll get your reaction.
3:41
Speaker 3: But I do think it's hard to.
3:44
Speaker 2: claim or maintain that you're still keeping privacy for your
3:48
Speaker 2: kids and interest low on your children for the mere
3:51
Speaker 2: fact that you're not showing their faces.
3:53
Speaker 3: Actually, the opposite is true.
3:55
Speaker 2: Now people are more interested and more curious about what
4:00
Speaker 2: they look like, but you're giving people just enough to
4:02
Speaker 2: wet their appetites to want more.
4:04
Speaker 3: So it's hard to say, don't look at us. Don't
4:08
Speaker 3: take pictures of us on one hand.
4:10
Speaker 2: And then on the other hand, almost cleverly manufacture or
4:14
Speaker 2: curate Instagram posts where people are wanting more.
4:18
Speaker 1: Okay, I have two questions on this about the kids.
4:20
Speaker 1: Is it possible, first of all, that even though it
4:24
Speaker 1: might not feel to us like the right move, that
4:27
Speaker 1: she is not being manipulative and just being sincere in
4:31
Speaker 1: not wanting to show her kids? Is that possible?
4:34
Speaker 2: I think she could be sincere in not wanting to
4:35
Speaker 2: show her kids, but in terms of what her motivation is, obviously...
4:40
Speaker 2: She is trying to. I would think it's hard to
4:43
Speaker 2: believe she's not trying to repair their image and show
4:47
Speaker 2: this family who's happy to be back in the UK,
4:50
Speaker 2: who's enjoying their time there, who are a happy, thriving family.
4:57
Speaker 2: She wants that to be out there versus all of
5:00
Speaker 2: the noise surrounding her. what's going on possibly between them
5:04
Speaker 2: and the King, them and William and Kate. And so
5:07
Speaker 2: she's trying to put a positive spin on what's had
5:11
Speaker 2: a lot of negative publicity.
5:13
Speaker 1: Okay. So, but still it's a sincere, I just, and
5:16
Speaker 1: not showing the kids faces and the way she's gone
5:18
Speaker 1: about this. It, It might have been the wrong decision,
5:22
Speaker 1: but it wasn't one that was meant. Or you think
5:24
Speaker 1: there was a plan in place, if you will. Like
5:27
Speaker 1: the Eva Mendez thing, right? They don't show their kids.
5:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't think she's putting the backs of
5:33
Speaker 2: their heads and their little outfits and their little butt,
5:35
Speaker 2: everything but their faces. I think that's part of the criticism,
5:39
Speaker 2: that if you're not going to do it, don't do
5:41
Speaker 2: it at all.
5:41
Speaker 3: You can't have it both ways. I think she's trying
5:43
Speaker 3: to have it both ways.
5:44
Speaker 2: Okay.
5:45
Speaker 1: My second question about the kids was, Even though they're
5:48
Speaker 1: not working royals, their parents, are these kids still legitimately
5:52
Speaker 1: in line for the throne?
5:53
Speaker 2: Yes.
5:53
Speaker 3: I mean, they're way below.
5:55
Speaker 1: But still.
5:55
Speaker 3: But yes, they are legitimately in line.
5:59
Speaker 1: Now this feels really wrong. The world hasn't seen the
6:03
Speaker 1: faces of two heirs to the throne.
6:06
Speaker 3: But she teases us.
6:08
Speaker 1: But we haven't seen. That's a.
6:10
Speaker 3: Right.
6:11
Speaker 2: I know.
6:11
Speaker 1: It feels like that is a... I don't know. Okay, fine.
6:14
Speaker 1: I just.
6:14
Speaker 3: Let's get into, so, and.
6:18
Speaker 2: I did want to say, though, I think it's ridiculous
6:19
Speaker 2: about the conspiracy theories about the winter coats and the
6:22
Speaker 2: summer clothes. British weather, just like American weather, can change
6:26
Speaker 2: from day to day. No one said this all took
6:27
Speaker 2: place on the same day. Obviously, they've been there since
6:30
Speaker 2: late August. So they might have had changing temperatures and
6:33
Speaker 2: some of the videos might have been taken on a
6:35
Speaker 2: warmer day and some of the videos.
6:37
Speaker 3: Might have been taken on a colder day.
6:38
Speaker 1: So I think that's hilarious.
6:40
Speaker 2: That she's using old footage of her and Harry from
6:44
Speaker 2: before and then juxtaposing it with new images of the kids.
6:48
Speaker 3: Like who cares?
6:49
Speaker 2: The other one, people, if you, if you zoom in
6:52
Speaker 2: on the boat where the kids don't have a life jacket, I.
6:55
Speaker 3: Did find this interesting. People are commenting that Harry has
6:58
Speaker 3: a full head of hair. which he clearly doesn't.
7:00
Speaker 2: And the way it's shot, it's the back of his
7:02
Speaker 2: head where he does have a pretty thinning top of
7:06
Speaker 2: his crown. It looks like he has a full head
7:08
Speaker 2: of hair. So they're saying it was AI'd or it
7:11
Speaker 2: was enhanced. And so people are like, give me a break.
7:14
Speaker 2: Why is she giving him all this hair when clearly
7:17
Speaker 2: we all know he doesn't have it? So look, any
7:21
Speaker 2: time she's going to put out anything, she should know
7:24
Speaker 2: that it's going to be heavily scrutinized.
7:26
Speaker 1: So she can do no right.
7:28
Speaker 3: She can do no right, and this is the problem.
7:30
Speaker 3: And so she's.
7:31
Speaker 2: Turned off the comments on her Instagram, which I think
7:34
Speaker 2: is probably very healthy from a mental health standpoint, but
7:38
Speaker 2: it has not stopped people from commenting everywhere else. And
7:42
Speaker 2: you know the place that people feel the freest to
7:44
Speaker 2: say whatever the hell they want is on X.
7:47
Speaker 1: Okay.
7:47
Speaker 2: Yes. And on some of these are some verified accounts,
7:51
Speaker 2: Royal Watchers, et cetera.
7:53
Speaker 3: And a couple of people, I think, have made some
7:55
Speaker 3: decent points.
7:57
Speaker 1: I'm listening.
7:57
Speaker 3: Are you looking at the hair?
7:59
Speaker 1: As soon as you said it, you knew I was
8:00
Speaker 1: about to look at it.
8:01
Speaker 3: I knew you were going to look. Do you see
8:02
Speaker 3: how he looks like he has a full head.
8:04
Speaker 1: Of hair on the boat? Okay, just keep going. I'll
8:06
Speaker 1: let you know when I get to it.
8:07
Speaker 2: Okay, so here are some of the comments that I
8:09
Speaker 2: thought stood out. This is the baffling part. Harry and
8:12
Speaker 2: Meghan have spoken out repeatedly and loudly about the dangers
8:16
Speaker 2: of children on social media. Yet Megan insists on exploiting
8:19
Speaker 2: her kids on social media incessantly. I don't give a
8:23
Speaker 2: shit that she posts the backs of their heads. That
8:25
Speaker 2: does nothing to lessen interest, and she knows it. Why
8:28
Speaker 2: is she manufacturing such major interest.
8:31
Speaker 3: And curiosity into.
8:33
Speaker 2: Her children, she claims, are so vulnerable to the evils
8:36
Speaker 2: of social media. For two people so paranoid about security,
8:40
Speaker 2: why post photos with such identifiable landmarks that it takes
8:43
Speaker 2: people 2.5 seconds to.
8:45
Speaker 3: Figure out where you are? It goes on and on
8:47
Speaker 3: and on, and this is how it ends. It's almost like.
8:49
Speaker 2: The private citizens want the frenzy and attention. That's the problem,
8:55
Speaker 2: and that's what people are pointing to. That's a very typical,
8:59
Speaker 2: this was a well-written reaction to it, but that is
9:02
Speaker 2: the gist of what most people are saying.
9:05
Speaker 1: That's a good one to start with, babe. They make
9:08
Speaker 1: a very good point. You are generating the interest in
9:12
Speaker 1: your kids that you say you want to protect. Now,
9:15
Speaker 1: is there an argument to be made? She's a mom.
9:18
Speaker 1: She's proud of her kids, proud of her family, wants
9:20
Speaker 1: to share it as much as she can, and these
9:21
Speaker 1: are the limits she put on herself.
9:23
Speaker 2: And I think if they put the pictures of the
9:25
Speaker 2: kids out there, then that might go away.
9:27
Speaker 3: Because look, it just.
9:28
Speaker 2: Encourages paparazzi, you and I know this, to try and
9:31
Speaker 2: get a photo all the more. If you're deliberately hiding them,
9:35
Speaker 2: but you're giving a sneak peeks of them, it's almost
9:38
Speaker 2: like you're dangling a carrot in front of folks. And that's,
9:41
Speaker 2: I think, where people are finding it to be so disingenuous.
9:44
Speaker 2: Either show the kids and let us see your family
9:47
Speaker 2: and bring us along with you and accept what comes
9:50
Speaker 2: with it. But don't say you want one thing.
9:53
Speaker 3: And then And then tease another. It just, it doesn't
9:56
Speaker 3: read as genuine.
9:58
Speaker 1: Has she ever addressed this, like a directly been asked
10:02
Speaker 1: this question?
10:03
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to that.
10:04
Speaker 1: Why do you do this?
10:05
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to that.
10:06
Speaker 2: But this is, someone else wrote this, as ever, and
10:10
Speaker 2: I like how they used when they, this was a
10:12
Speaker 2: deliberate jab at her company.
10:14
Speaker 3: Her home company is called As Ever.
10:17
Speaker 2: So, as ever, the greatest threats to the privacy and
10:21
Speaker 2: security of Harry, Meghan, and their children are, is Meghan
10:24
Speaker 2: Markle and her desperate need to prove she's not hating
10:27
Speaker 2: every second of being back in the UK by posting
10:30
Speaker 2: on Instagram. Bottom line, people are calling it performative. They're
10:34
Speaker 2: calling it curated. They're calling it manipulative. And some people
10:37
Speaker 2: are calling it hypocritical. And others are saying that it's AI'd.
10:43
Speaker 1: It's AI'd?
10:44
Speaker 3: Meaning that like, Some of the videos aren't current. Harry's hair.
10:49
Speaker 2: It's just, and then, oh, people are making fun of
10:51
Speaker 2: her because she shows at one point she's in wellies
10:54
Speaker 2: splashing in the mud.
10:55
Speaker 3: What is she, 10? I mean, it's like no matter
10:58
Speaker 3: what she posted. Oh, those are her feet? Yeah, because
11:00
Speaker 3: in one of the.
11:00
Speaker 2: Shots, she's in those wellies and those hunter boots that
11:03
Speaker 2: you see so many British people wear.
11:05
Speaker 3: They call them wellies.
11:06
Speaker 1: You can't see his hair. It's from a distance.
11:07
Speaker 3: You can't?
11:08
Speaker 1: You can't make out that it's, no, it's not.
11:11
Speaker 2: Do you see, like, it looks like it's thinning or bald?
11:15
Speaker 1: Where are they?
11:17
Speaker 2: Some people are claiming, some people are claiming that it's, um,
11:21
Speaker 2: family members of Diana. So his mom's uncle's estate, um,
11:27
Speaker 2: people have tried to, they'd say the landmarks that those
11:29
Speaker 2: who live in.
11:30
Speaker 3: The area know where they are. And now they just
11:32
Speaker 3: told everybody where they're staying.
11:33
Speaker 1: This poor girl can do no right. She can do
11:37
Speaker 1: no right. Now there are some legit criticism in there. Um,
11:40
Speaker 1: Did we, I was thinking back, I remember some picture
11:42
Speaker 1: they had after she had given birth and she was
11:44
Speaker 1: holding the baby, but the baby's face still wasn't shown then?
11:47
Speaker 2: No, we have never seen those children's faces. And so, yes, by.
11:52
Speaker 3: Dangling this carrot, it'll be curious.
11:54
Speaker 2: Look, I know that if she's not looking online, her
11:57
Speaker 2: people are looking online, and they're very aware that they
12:00
Speaker 2: have a PR problem.
12:01
Speaker 3: And I think that was her attempt or one of
12:03
Speaker 3: their attempts to to.
12:04
Speaker 2: Try and soften things and to bring people back around
12:07
Speaker 2: that they're this wonderful family enjoying their time in uk
12:10
Speaker 2: and everyone's happy and everyone's good and i think that's
12:13
Speaker 2: the problem it just people aren't buying.
12:17
Speaker 1: It okay i mean what would you advise her right
12:21
Speaker 1: now she walks in to this studio To.
12:25
Speaker 3: Delete her social media accounts right now.
12:27
Speaker 1: Really?
12:28
Speaker 2: Or maybe just not do that. That would obviously create
12:31
Speaker 2: a whole nother round of headlines. But maybe just truly
12:34
Speaker 2: lay low for a little while. Let organically... happen what's
12:38
Speaker 2: going to happen, and maybe not necessarily be in the
12:42
Speaker 2: mindset of documenting it and promoting it. I think right now,
12:45
Speaker 2: that's not ever going to land well with a lot
12:49
Speaker 2: of people, period. Now, when we come back, we're gonna
12:52
Speaker 2: tell you what also happened to the Sussexes, and I
12:55
Speaker 2: say happened to them, Because SNL UK, their premiere season
13:03
Speaker 2: two opening and the opening sketch was all about Meghan
13:08
Speaker 2: and Harry and the headlines read, one of the most
13:11
Speaker 2: brutal comedic attacks on anyone was seen over the weekend.
13:25
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ. Harry and Meghan,
13:29
Speaker 2: a little bit of a rough weekend, first with Meghan
13:32
Speaker 2: Markle's post that people have been eviscerating, but then on
13:37
Speaker 2: Saturday night, SNL UK had their opening season two premiere.
13:43
Speaker 3: I didn't even know SNL had... gone over, the franchise
13:47
Speaker 3: had expanded to the United Kingdom. Yeah, it was a
13:49
Speaker 3: big deal.
13:49
Speaker 1: It was a really big deal.
13:50
Speaker 3: Well, now everybody knows.
13:51
Speaker 2: Yes. Now everybody knows because season two's opening sketch was
13:55
Speaker 2: a doozy. And it opened with King Charles and Camilla
13:58
Speaker 2: by the fireplace at Balmoral Castle. And they're there enjoying,
14:02
Speaker 2: and they took a few little jabs at the king
14:06
Speaker 2: and Queen Camilla.
14:07
Speaker 3: But then Harry and Meghan walk in. And Harry says, Daddy,
14:11
Speaker 3: I'm home.
14:14
Speaker 2: And the king says, don't tell me you spent all
14:16
Speaker 2: your Netflix money already.
14:18
Speaker 3: Daddy, it was 60 million. How long was it meant
14:20
Speaker 3: to last? So yes, okay, this is all funny. Ha
14:23
Speaker 3: ha ha.
14:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, elitist. We can all get on board with that.
14:25
Speaker 2: No problem. Then they mocked Meghan's show because she brings
14:28
Speaker 2: in a tray of ice as a gift to Queen
14:31
Speaker 2: Camilla and says, I made it myself.
14:33
Speaker 3: I can give you the recipe.
14:34
Speaker 2: Yes.
14:34
Speaker 1: It's ice. Okay. Again, that's funny.
14:37
Speaker 3: That's all in line.
14:38
Speaker 1: Fair game.
14:38
Speaker 3: That's in good taste.
14:39
Speaker 1: I'm laughing.
14:40
Speaker 3: It's all good.
14:41
Speaker 1: All good.
14:41
Speaker 2: Um, then they mocked the King's letter, acknowledging that where
14:45
Speaker 2: he told everybody, just a reminder, um, Harry and Megan
14:48
Speaker 2: are private citizens. You cannot refer to them as his
14:51
Speaker 2: or her Royal Highness. So they have Harry saying to
14:55
Speaker 2: King Charles, daddy, just because I don't want to be
14:57
Speaker 2: a Royal doesn't mean I want to be a regular guy.
15:00
Speaker 3: Everybody's laughing. But then this one was the doozy. This
15:04
Speaker 3: was the worst one. Honestly, babe, it's so bad.
15:06
Speaker 2: I checked, several outlets didn't even report on this joke.
15:11
Speaker 3: People Magazine completely stayed away from it. I thought that
15:14
Speaker 3: was interesting.
15:15
Speaker 1: Why?
15:16
Speaker 3: Because it was so ouchy. It was so brutal.
15:22
Speaker 2: And it's bringing up a longstanding, baseless, debunked rumor about
15:29
Speaker 2: King Charles not actually being Harry's biological father. There were
15:34
Speaker 2: all these rumors about Princess Diana and that polo player.
15:39
Speaker 3: James Hewitt. Go online.
15:41
Speaker 2: People have side-to-side comparisons. It's been like this for years.
15:47
Speaker 3: And this has dogged the royal family for decades.
15:50
Speaker 2: And they have dismissed it. It's been debunked. People say
15:53
Speaker 2: it is not true. But this is what happened. What
15:58
Speaker 2: a waste you've become. You're lucky your dad isn't around
16:00
Speaker 2: to see this. That's from Prince, sorry, that's from King
16:04
Speaker 2: Charles to Prince Harry. And people clapped in the audience.
16:09
Speaker 1: They called the crowd. That was the biggest joke of
16:11
Speaker 1: the whole scale.
16:11
Speaker 3: Everybody roared. You actually didn't know what they.
16:14
Speaker 1: Were talking about. I came to you and I showed
16:16
Speaker 1: you the thing. And I said, what are they talking about?
16:17
Speaker 1: Why did everybody go crazy? And you started Googling stuff
16:20
Speaker 1: and showing me all this. I had never heard that before, ever.
16:24
Speaker 1: So that's a hell of a joke to drop in
16:28
Speaker 1: the U.K.
16:29
Speaker 3: And it landed.
16:30
Speaker 2: But I mean, I can feel it like that is
16:33
Speaker 2: that's a low blow.
16:35
Speaker 1: I had no idea about it.
16:37
Speaker 3: But now you do.
16:38
Speaker 1: You think some people aren't like intentionally staying away from
16:41
Speaker 1: reporting that?
16:42
Speaker 2: I think they don't want to piss off the royal family, babe.
16:45
Speaker 2: News outlets do not want to upset the crown. And
16:49
Speaker 2: if they even repeat this joke that came out of SNL,
16:54
Speaker 2: they are perpetuating it. They're lending some credibility to it.
16:58
Speaker 2: They get people like you to Google it who didn't
17:01
Speaker 2: know about it otherwise. They don't want to get their
17:03
Speaker 2: hands dirty because they still want access to the monarch.
17:06
Speaker 2: They want to get those interviews with William and Kate.
17:08
Speaker 2: They want to get those interviews with Charles and Camilla.
17:11
Speaker 1: That they do all the time, sure.
17:12
Speaker 3: They don't get them often.
17:13
Speaker 2: But when they do get them, when someone gets them,
17:15
Speaker 2: it's a big, big deal. And if you do something
17:18
Speaker 2: to piss off the royal family and Buckingham Palace, you
17:22
Speaker 2: can be literally iced out.
17:24
Speaker 3: Ask Harry and Meghan.
17:25
Speaker 1: Man, no, I had no idea. And the whole skit
17:29
Speaker 1: was hilarious that they brought in the new prime minister.
17:31
Speaker 1: Whoever that actor is, I like him. But it was funny.
17:33
Speaker 1: Check it out if you get a chance.
17:34
Speaker 2: Everyone should just watch it because it is absolutely hilarious. But, man,
17:38
Speaker 2: it's just been a tough couple years for Harry and Meghan.
17:42
Speaker 2: And a lot of people will say self-induced. It was
17:46
Speaker 2: brought on by their choices. But it's got to be
17:49
Speaker 2: a tough, tough Monday for them.
17:52
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. They're used to it, and
17:54
Speaker 1: I guess they should expect it to a certain degree, babe.
17:57
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think most of it is unfair.
18:00
Speaker 1: As I've learned more and more, we've been talking about this,
18:03
Speaker 1: from stuff I'm remembering from the past. Yeah, some of
18:08
Speaker 1: it might be deserved and understandable that some criticism came
18:11
Speaker 1: their way, and even from their own family. Rose, I
18:15
Speaker 1: didn't realize, he has just eviscerated them in public. So,
18:21
Speaker 1: most of it's unfair. I don't know how they can
18:23
Speaker 1: mend things. Like, what could she possibly do, babe, short
18:28
Speaker 1: of saving children from a burning building? That folks would
18:32
Speaker 1: still come out and say, she probably lit that fire herself.
18:34
Speaker 3: You are so right.
18:35
Speaker 2: And look, we are seeing a very public Harry now
18:39
Speaker 2: starting this week. So for the first time since he
18:41
Speaker 2: moved back to the UK, he is going to be
18:43
Speaker 2: in the spotlight by choice. On Thursday of this week,
18:46
Speaker 2: he's attending the first Invictus Spirit Awards. He's going to
18:50
Speaker 2: be a part of a launch of a new educational
18:52
Speaker 2: initiative connected to the games called Inspire. Then on Monday
18:56
Speaker 2: in London, next Monday, he's attending the Well Child Awards
18:59
Speaker 2: in London. He's going to meet children and families and
19:02
Speaker 2: caregivers and medical professionals. And then the week after that,
19:05
Speaker 2: he's coming right here to New York City. He's going
19:07
Speaker 2: to be attending the Clinton Global Initiative on, it's the
19:10
Speaker 2: UN week next.
19:11
Speaker 3: Week, by the way.
19:12
Speaker 2: We should watch out with traffic there. But he's going
19:15
Speaker 2: to be a participant there. in whatever's going on there.
19:19
Speaker 2: We don't know exactly what his role will be, but
19:21
Speaker 2: that's all according to the organization.
19:22
Speaker 3: So he is going to be out in public, front
19:26
Speaker 3: and center.
19:26
Speaker 2: Maybe Megan was putting this out there thinking it would
19:30
Speaker 2: help soften his thrust back into the spotlight, but it
19:37
Speaker 2: did quite the opposite.
19:38
Speaker 1: It appears. What can she do, though? What do you
19:42
Speaker 1: want her to do? Just go away? Just be quiet?
19:44
Speaker 3: Maybe.
19:45
Speaker 1: Maybe. she started acting right she'd be busy focused on
19:50
Speaker 1: that and career focused instead of this public person focused
19:54
Speaker 1: right she didn't have to put that post.
19:55
Speaker 3: Out I'm sure I wonder if she regrets it now.
19:58
Speaker 2: It's still up I looked I saw it on her
20:00
Speaker 2: on her Instagram it's still there as of this recording
20:02
Speaker 2: and look yes both of her kids are in school
20:05
Speaker 2: now Harry's got a busy next couple of weeks.
20:08
Speaker 3: What is Megan doing I guess she won't be posting,
20:12
Speaker 3: or maybe she'll post all the more.
20:13
Speaker 1: But I don't know what her friend group might be there,
20:15
Speaker 1: and I don't know. Unclear, but here's the deal.
20:20
Speaker 3: They're not going away.
20:21
Speaker 2: They're not going away anytime soon, and look, I do
20:24
Speaker 2: think maybe people could just maybe back off on the
20:27
Speaker 2: criticism a little bit.
20:29
Speaker 3: It's pretty rough out there. Rough seas those two are navigating,
20:33
Speaker 3: but We.
20:33
Speaker 2: Will continue to let you know what's going on across
20:36
Speaker 2: the pond.
20:37
Speaker 3: And even here in New York City next week with Harry.
20:39
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, thank you all for listening to us.
20:42
Speaker 3: I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes.
20:44
Speaker 1: We'll talk soon.
