SOME of us remember how former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher favoured the easy ride she got from sympathetic interviewers such as DJs Terry Wogan and Jimmy Young. She would avoid the likes of David Dimbleby, Alastair Burnet, Robin Day and Robert Kee like the plague. I was reminded of that watching Oprah Winfrey interviewing Mr and Mrs Harry Windsor, with the latter s actress skills in full display – the exaggerated looks of shock and stage-managed gasps of indignation and the repetition of key sentences for full effect. One craved seeing them interviewed by a grand inquisitor like Jeremy Paxman, Andrew Marr or Andrew Neil. They would have leapt on rehearsed statements such as I wanted to die , the English tabloids were all racist and racism stopped Archie becoming a Prince . Those three would not be fazed by Meghan s default position that criticising her marks you out as racist, sexist or misogynistic.
