He told how the British rated the scandalous interviews with Harry and Meghan Markle: Discarded cards on all things sensitive

In an open interview, Ms Markle used to talk through tears about the behavior of Buckingham Palace, ignoring her suicidal thoughts, the royal family’s “concerns” about her son Archie’s skin color and what really happened between her. and Kate Middleton.

Zita Čepaitė, a writer living in London, told the radio news program “Topical Interview” about the level of scandal caused by this conversation in the UK.

“Looking at the newspapers, the online publications, you can see that it has been written mainly about him and, in fact, has been talked about for almost a whole week. There are people who are interested for whom this is very important. politicians also react to this in some way, ”said Z. Čepaitė.

Even so, according to her, greater reactions were expected in the public space.

“The reactions are there, but I don’t think it’s as big as expected, especially in the UK, as the couple left the UK more than a year ago,” said the writer.

Greater support – from the royal family’s side

“Looking at the comments after the articles, the royal family receives massive support. Love the royal family here. “At least in the UK, this war against the monarchy will not necessarily be very successful,” he said.

“Fighting the monarchy, is simply to humiliate or destroy authority, showing that it’s not the way people really think that everything inside is rotten or something, it seems that there may have been a target of that type or such Maybe there was no such goal, but so he left, ”said Z. Čepaitė.

However, according to Z. Čepaitė, that goal was not achieved.

Every interview causes a scandal

The writer explained that, according to established practice, representatives of the royal family do not respond to comments in public, nor do they give interviews. Therefore, any withdrawal of members of this family causes a scandal.

“Or (on racism – aut.past.) says Meghan, who has mentioned before that all of her attacks (the British people attacked her for racism and the like) quite often has also been said before on her part. The royal family itself is, as far as I know, the standards that exist in the real life of the family, they do not comment on what is written in the press about them, they do not give press releases, so it causes a great scandal in each of his interviews.

Recalling the Princess Diana interview, by the way, recently, the question was raised how the Princess Diana interview was received, her brother just reached out, searched for answers, and approached the BBC to investigate. And in fact some things were not very clean. (..) Princess Diana granted this interview without reporting anything.

Everything is ordered quite strictly, everything goes through the press, because it is a family, but at the same time it is a political-governmental unit. What a person in this family says or does can have quite serious consequences. This is a certain order followed by a person who has already joined a family, and especially one who has entered that family. They do not comment on racism, the family does not comment on this and probably will not comment if the color or darkness of the child’s skin or something similar was discussed, ”said Z. Čepaitė.

Therefore, according to her, many things in this story will depend on what society creates.

“It remains to be seen if what Markle said is true, again it depends on faith. This is a delicate thing. There are some sensitive things compressed here – letters are thrown at all the sensitive things that exist here – it’s racism, it’s mental health things when (M. Markle – automatic past.) said she was visited for suicidal thoughts. These things are very sensitive. People react quite sensitively, to such complaints that something has made them cry and the like. “There are other stories of the people who worked as assistants and ministers in the Royal Palace: that M. Markle himself boiled them,” said the interlocutor.

The writer also predicted that there was no reason to expect additional reactions from the Queen or other members of the royal family.

“Even before going out to this interview, after the launch of images of half-minute signals with certain phrases, the Queen had already said that people woke up on Monday and had many things to do, and that would fall into nothing. It seemed to show that it didn’t matter. “It was probably an obvious indirect sign that there would be no comment,” he said.
