CBS reportedly paid more than $7 million for the rights to air Oprah Winfrey’s highly anticipated tell-all interview with Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.

The two-hour interview, set to air at 8 p.m. Sunday, cost the network a pretty penny — likely somewhere between $7 million and $9 million, the Wall Street Journal reported.

If you lined up 100 Americans...98-percent really don’t care about either Markle or Prince-Wannabe.

If it comes out that the Harkles are gaming our system, with the help of the UK and our Deep State, so that the Harkles can avoid paying US income tax, those two are toast.

I do if they’re tax cheats.

Especially given the way Derp State is going after Trump.

Aided and abetted by the UK.

Anything to hurt the Queen.....eh Meghan

....regardless of what we think of Royalty, imo Queen Elizabeth, to the best of her ability and in a changing society...
....has carried and covered herself with dignity......

She doesn’t deserve this ‘tell all’ from a 2 bit actress.

If no one watches CBS loses money, Oprah makes money and Megan and Harry get to pretend they matter.

CBS reportedly paid $7M for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle interview, just barely enough for the couple to by a new wardrobe ...

The two idiots picked the highest taxation state in the US to live. Then they placed themselves into a high-end luxury neighborhood with a fantastic cost for their desired lifestyle.

Just in an average month, I would imagine they consume a minimum of $500k in costs. They need a Kardashian-style reality show to bridge this whole fake lifestyle thing. I just don’t see this working out.

My only worry is that Harry might hire the guy who forged Obama’s birth certificate. Then he could run for president. And with Oprah‘s backing, he’d probably win.

Not only that, but I doubt that Oprah has much of an audience anymore. Different segments of her audience turned on her for her support of Obozo over Hillary, or her support for an anti-Michael Jackson documentary when she is pals with people like Harvey Weinstein and David Geffen.

The ratings will be interesting. There have been previous shows about or featuring interviews with these two, and the ratings were so-so.

Seven million dollars sounds like a lot, but a lesson I learned early in life was it does not matter how much money you make, it is how much you spend.

The Prince grew up in an environment where money did not matter. He had access to a lot and every need or want was accommodated. So the idea of a budget will never occur to him.

He is in effect Nouveau riche where the decisions he makes will determine just how long he remains rich. Like many he does not think the money stream will every end and so does not save or plan if it does.

I suspect he is now or soon will be living beyond his means.

I can picture a divorced Halfwit ending up as a poor relation to his brother William in the future. He couldn’t manage to marry a rich heiress from his circles or a rich A-lister from the celebrity world the first time around, so I don’t think his prospects for finding a rich second wife are that good. No woman of means or substance wants to marry him, and in future he will have the added baggage of children to support and a vituperative ex-wife.

the thing I love most about this right now is that Oprah has to be furious that she got scooped twice

1. Meghan was supposed to have editorial say over the Corden interview. She tried to drag her heels so it would appear after Oprah. They aired it anyway

2. One of Meghan’s friends put up a picture of Archie who has been well secreted for a big payday...and had to take it down but too late...already out there.

Has a short very red afro. Cute kid. nose like Thomas markle. Can’t see if he outgrew the cross eyed problem

CBS: "So why are we here today interviewing you?"

H&M: "We're rich and famous."

M: "Well, not as rich now."

CBS: "Yes, but what is it that you do to be rich and famous?"

H: "Do?"

M: "Do you know who we are?"
