Obviously, I can’t wait for the Meghan and Harry audience with Oprah Winfrey. Alas, it’s going to be broadcast at about one o’clock in the morning our time (I’m still thinking popcorn at the office around a flat screen). But meanwhile there are tasters from the programme to keep us happy.
What got me going from the most recent excerpt wasn’t Meghan’s observations about ‘The Firm’, interesting as that was, but the question put to her by Oprah:
‘How do you feel about the palace hearing you speak your truth today?’
Eh? ‘Your truth’? I think what she means is ‘putting forward your point of view’ or ‘offering your take on the situation’ or ‘giving your side of things’.
Eh? ‘Your truth’? I think what she means is ‘putting forward your point of view’
All of those things are perfectly legitimate; Meghan may also be quite truthful in giving her account of what’s happened in her relationship with the Palace.
