The couple indicated to Oprah Winfrey that they were subject to a media conspiracy and alleged that his family has “invisible contracts” with the press.
Those were just some of the jaw dropping claims the couple made in what turned out to be a ratings winner for the queen of all media.
Royal Family News – Prince Harry Is Speaking His Mind But Only After Meghan Markle Does
Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey that the press is “bigoted” and that there is an “invisible contract” between the royal family and the media that is in place to guarantee positive media coverage. His words, not ours.
Meanwhile chatty Meghan called their relationship with the media like the, “wild wild West,” and alleged that the palace throws “holiday parties” for journalists in an effort to buy their positivity.
But their outrageous claims were today trashed by royal correspondents, and the Society of Editors hit back saying it is, “not acceptable” for the couple to make unproven accusations.
Meghan insinuated to Oprah, “I mean I think there’s a reason that these tabloids have holiday parties at the palace.”

She went on, “They’re hosted by the palace, the tabloids are. You know, there is a construct that’s at play there, and because from the beginning of our relationship they were so attacking and inciting so much racism really.”
Winfrey asked if the couple left the UK because of racism and Harry replied, “It was a large part of it,” calling the UK press “bigoted.”
He added, “To simplify it, it’s a case of if you as a family member are willing to wine, dine and give full access to these reporters, then you will get better press.”

It should be noted that Meghan and Harry’s dragging of his family coincides with his own grandfather’s hospitalization for an infection and heart procedure. Although they were pleaded with to postpone the incendiary interview, they refused.
Harry went on to say, “But unfortunately if the source of information is inherently corrupt or racist or biased then that filters out to the rest of society.”
He also clamed that his family are scared that the media will one day turn on them, presumably as he just did.
Thus far no journalist, British or otherwise, has ever gone on air and scorched Harry’s family in the manner and to the degree that he did last night. That honor belongs solely to him.

Let's start with the Oprah gift basket, is that not a form of bribery? softening up their neighbour before she does the interview, how unbiased is this situation? Again with the hypocrisy.
Press and media is what is. All intelligent people are aware some media might lean more one way than the other. There were plenty of examples during the recent US election. It is just made up of working people who have points of view and have set about careers in that industry. It seems to me Harry and Megan are perfectly happy to have publicity if they can control the narrative, trying to force everyone to pity or follow them. Would Harry and Megan have us reduced to a dictatorship where only their views, opinions and desires are permitted? People in democratic countries don't always share the same opinions but our ability to have them and speak them without threat is precious. Around the world we are still pushing for such progress, such as women being viewed as equal and cultures being equalized. If we try to silence the media we will go backwards not forwards. Harry and Megan act like two spoiled children who just want their own way and lots of attention. The adults need to ignore them and concentrate on people in this world who genuinely deserve help and media attention. If the media bothers them they could just enjoy their new life in private but I guess that wouldn't be controversial or lucrative enough.
