The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey is the most searched interview in Google Trends history.

The search engine published its “Year in Search” list for 2021 on 8 December, finding that the interview dominated searches in March.

During the two-hour sit-down interview, which aired in the US on 7 March and a day later in the UK, the couple made several revealing but not so much surprising (if you were following Harry and Meghan honestly) statements.

Meghan Markle said she had felt suicidal while living and working as a member of the royal family and that when she tried to seek professional help, she was told it wouldn’t be good for the institution.

Prince Harry and Meghan officially stepped down from their duties as senior members of the royal family in March 2020.

Elsewhere in the interview, Harry revealed that he does not have a relationship with his brother, Prince William.

“The relationship is space, at the moment. Time heals all things, hopefully,” he said.

He also revealed he had been “financially” cut off by his family and that his father, Prince Charles, was not picking up his calls.

Perhaps the British media should just admit that they miss the Sussexes? They should stop pretending that they care about the Royal Family and be transparent about the fact that Harry and Meghan are the most progressive and most interesting couple on the planet. They are all the media care about.

Interesting to see the British media and certain members of the public react in a way after Meghan’s video. The Royal Family itself with their pump and pageantry is part of their allure so what is it about the size of Meghan’s table, her heels, her fresh face, the lush blanket that hurts people so much?

There is a bitterness in the comments that is quite pitiful. But there are actually people like this, who hate to see the success of black women. Their anger is palpable. It won’t have mattered if Meghan wore jeans or sat on the floor, they would still have been unhappy.

Less than 24 hrs after Meghan’s announcements there have been scores of articles, tv commentary far more than I have seen with any initiative by any member of the RF. The Royal Foundation report was released yet the media have found a way to link this to the Sussexes.

Perhaps we should just admit that we miss the Sussexes? The media should stop pretending that they care about the RF and be transparent about the fact that Harry & Meghan are the most progressive and most interesting couple on the planet. They are all the media care about.

Royal reporting has become a joke. Clearly before the Sussexes there wasn’t much to do, except report on the hats and coats the Royals wore to events. When Meghan Markle stepped into the scene, it was article after article after article about utter bullshit.

They don’t care about the Royal Family, their work, charities or engagements. The UK Royals have announced a series of “big projects” which the press barely spent time on yet one whiff of anything the Sussexes are doing it’s analysis after analysis for weeks on end.

They care about the Sussexes. Even when nothing is happening, the press will create a story to keep the gossip going, it is guaranteed to get attention, attention means money. Going back to the old days on reporting on the Meghan sister in law wardrobe is not an option.

Instead we must hear about the “15 bathrooms”, “20 million dollar Netflix deal”, “30 million dollar book deal”, “the 17 lies told at the interview”. This is where the money resides. This is what their readers want to hear. Who cares about climate change, Earth shot, Early years?

Certainly not the “royal audience”. There in lies the dilemma because when you put a magnifying glass on the comments from this audience I am certain the palace are worried. These are not the kind of “friends” you want on your team. They are not the future.

Many with common sense move away from the kind of distasteful commentary in the British tabloid media- they are attracted to charity, justice, equality and impactful work. This daily obsession of fantasising on the Sussexes is no longer trendy. It’s old, it’s boring, it’s done.
