  • Disappointed

    I’m glad you’re relieved that the world has moved beyond the very female-focused era you, Harry, and William grew up in (c. 2000s).

Queen Elizabeth's True Feelings About Meghan
Q: Do you think the state visit with Donald Trump will be viewed positively in the long run?

Do Americans Care About Harry and Meghan?
Q: Why might returning to Britain not solve all their issues?
Tom argues that privacy concerns and media dynamics in the UK differ, and while some issues could be mitigated, the social-media-driven controversy around their family will continue to follow them.
Do Americans Care About Harry and Meghan?
Q: First question then, what do you think their situation in America is now?
Tom explains that there is a chill of disinterest in the couple, but some segments of the audience remain engaged, especially those who dislike them; the primary question is whether they should adjust their strategy to regain impact.
