The Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain booked and busy. On Thursday, not only did the nation of Colombia confirm that the Sussexes had accepted their invitation to undergo a tour, but CBS announced that they have done an exclusive interview with the Sussexes. CBS even gave everyone a little preview clip. Harry and Meghan will appear on CBS Sunday Morning to discuss their new program (under the Archewell banner, I’m assuming) which offers support and resources for “parents of children affected by online harm.” This is becoming one of their core issues, and it was a huge focus of the Archewell Mental Health Festival in New York last fall. At last year’s festival, they invited parents who have lost children to online bullying/doxxing/harassment campaigns. Here’s the clip from CBS:

Superficial comment, but the background is not their home, correct? I’m pretty sure their Montecito home is more Spanish-revival and the background just… doesn’t seem like that. Another superficial comment, sort of: they’re smart about how they parcel out exclusives between networks. Interview with Oprah was on CBS, Harry spoke to 60 Minutes on CBS in 2023, but he’s also given interviews to Good Morning America (ABC) and Today (NBC). Anyway, I will record this and we’ll have coverage of the full interview next Monday!

Good for the Sussexes. I know this is something they’ve been working on for at least 2 or 3 years. On another note, I hope Jane Pauley didn’t feel obligated to ask about Those Awful People. It has nothing to do with them and I hope the Sussexes set some boundaries around the subject matter and kept the focus on the parent program.
Yeah, I don’t think they did the interview in their home. How come we didn’t hear anything about them making this new program? Looking at the Page Six, People, you would think they have lots of spies watching their every move. I guess not.
With Twitter’s new owner Space Karen, there is really a small chance, we can hope a real change from social media companies. As I understand it, this program is more for the parents, to help them navigate the issue, which is good. Can’t wait to watch it.
CBS sunday morning show is very into yellow and happy colors -think of their Sun Logo. I will watch anything they are interviewed or in bc they are very intelligent and she is especially well spoken. I would like to see her evolve into a mid length hair style to go w her as she has a professional image to me. I’m getting tired of everyone w long influencer hair. I’m liking new bob styles out there as a change, She dresses very classically. As for Harry he adores her and you can tell and she eleveates his style even w her mere presence.
My superficial note is the same as yours: change up the hairstyle. I love her fashion, always. Minus the pant hemlines everything she wears is perfect to me.
Love the flexibility long hair allows. Love her glorious mane. This is Meghan, this is her in all of her glory.
I’m tired of women with beautiful, long hair always being told they should cut it. I agree with Maxine- long hair offers flexibility.
Heres hoping youre taking your own advice
@Barrett, she looks after her hair and it looks good and healthy. Why are you calling long hair “influencer hair”? Are you suggesting she is wearing extensions or smt? It is obvious that it is all her hair and if she likes it long, she doesn’t have to cut it just to give people something different. She isn’t a product.
I also want to say, my hair is getting weaker as I age, so I use it shorter, shoulder-length. If I had healthy hair like Meghan, I wouldn’t feel the need to cut it. We all age differently, so we shouldn’t tell every woman that their hair needs to be short after some age.
Some people just really like long hair. Who are we to judge. I think long hair (like any other hairstyle) is professional as long as its clean and neat. Gate-keeping professionalism for women based on hair length is rather misogynistic as culturally it can be considered feminine. And being feminine and professional is not mutually exclusive.
@barrett – You can be professional with long hair, short hair or whatever length you want. Let’s not police women’s hair lengths under feigned concern for “professionalism…”
It’s just that that length is so ubiquitous now and seen on so many “celebs” Housewives, media “influencers etc. Not judging Megan, but the look is just tiresome. And, often it is extensions. My daughter wears them at this length, and I try to keep my mouth shut!
So you keep your mouth shut with your own daughter but not with Meghan?
Not a great look to tell a Black woman how she needs to change her hair to look “more professional.”
@sevenblue I’m glad they are helping parents but I’m not there’s much that can be done about the online spaces yet though. Space Karen or no. The medium is still fairly young so it’s going to take a while still to find concrete solutions for the spaces. However this is still a good start bc over those solutions are found the parents will be ready to go straight to the govt and demand their implementation.
I love Meghan’s hair; I think it’s beautiful. I wish I had hair like that. Mine is fine and that ridiculous non color color, and takes forever to grow (the thyroid condition does not help matters). I don’t want to dye it – I’ve dyed it since high school, I’m done with that and can’t wait to go gray tbh. Cut it all off in January and while it reminds me of how I looked when I got married, I am now beginning the attempt to grow it out again. I’m just going to lean into the soft, skinny hair it is and hope for the best 🤣
As for online/social media issues with teens, I’ve found it rather alarming to see how many parents I know who allow their kids public profiles on Instagram and TikTok. Our kids do not have social media and won’t until they are 18. People can say it’s strict but we are firm on this and our kids don’t feel as though they’re missing out. They have parental limits installed on their devices. They can’t get an app without our permission. This is because of the fact that no matter how much we explain to them that putting themselves out there publicly is not a safe choice, and not everyone is who they say they are online (there have been cases where they mixed up usernames of friends on say Xbox live), they are still unable to fully grasp that concept. They can still text their friends and that’s all they need. It’s clear to me that teens do not belong on social media and as parents we have the first line of responsibility in making that decision. Apple does make it easy to set controls bc all of it is built in to their devices so we don’t even have to pay for it. We have the power as their parents to set boundaries not for control but for protection. It’s never too late to start even if you’ve given your kids free reign. Just talk to them, be straightforward, even if they’re unhappy about it, there are compromises a you can make.
I love Meghan’s hair, and I’m so glad that we no longer live in times where women feel like they have to shorten their hair as they get older because long hair is for “younger women.” Long hair is for whoever wants and likes it. Her hair is gorgeous.
ETA @Sass I’m the mom of a 13-year-old and so far, not allowing any social media accounts either (although my son has been asking for a YouTube channel for years). I regret getting him an iPhone, but the social pressure was enormous, and like you said, at least Apple has decent controls. I’m terrified of the years to come, though.
If anyone knows of reliable monitoring software for teens’ devices, please share!
Okay I’m going against the grain here, but she’s wearing extensions (sorry guys but yes) and they don’t look good at all how they’ve been styled, the wave isn’t combed through and blended properly with her natural hair, you can see in indentation where her real hair ends and the weft comes through. It’s also a different tone and texture, which you can hide with proper styling, which is not the case here.
I love her shirt
I look forward to this. They have been talking about online abuse and supporting organizations that fight it. That Archewell has a program is par for the course.
On another note those reporters telling us what Harry and Meghan are thinking every hour of every day somehow miss what they are doing 100% of the time. Funny that huh
Someone said it was Filmed in New York this past weekend… so don’t think it’s their house
I saw that as well and it makes sense since Meghan was spotted there last week. Harry must have went too.
Once again, love how we now find out that both Meghan and Harry were in ny.
That makes total sense.
Love that there was no sign of him being here. Guessing this was filmed in the Hamptons.
If Harry had been in NYC, I think someone somewhere would have known. This was probably filmed weeks ago in Montecito–possibly in their property’s guest house or a rental property organized by CBS Sunday Morning.
@freddy
It wasnt filmed in Montecito.
Both M and Pauley were seen in the Hamptons this past weekend. Its highly likely that H was there with his wife but as it was her event (i:e the business meeting) he kept a low profile. Just as he did when she was in Minnesota at that women’s event back in 2023.
It’s a two-story house, which the Hamptons is full of. Their Montecito home is single-story, isn’t it?
@beaniebean its definitely two stories.
https://harpersbazaar.com.au/meghan-markle-prince-harry-mansion/
I would have guessed it was at least three stories, lol. Gotta put all of those bathrooms somewhere! 🙃
Saw the sniper of the up coming interview on my feed yesterday. Did not notice any irritation. Just saw two beautiful adults speaking on their latest project for families. Happy they are allowing more folks to see what they are doing/working on.
I think you mean “snippet” not “sniper”!
You know the BM resents US media is able to have Harry and Meghan for sit down interviews and all they can do is rehash old gossip to keep the invisible contract.
Seem REALLY irritated with each other? Because they aren’t smiling and carrying on while discussing a very serious topic?
The CBS Sunday Morning show has a unique vibe compared to other network news programs. it is worth a watch, even without Harry and Meghan.
My H and I call it the Sunday Morning Feel Good program. They always highlight stories that are uplifting and people doing incredible things. It is well worth the watch.
It’s one of my favorite programs too, the whole vibe is a feel good energy and inspiration❤
I think it’s Jane Pauley’s influence. I ❤️ Jane Pauley.
I have watched the show for years and it has always had that vibe. The host before Jane Pauley was Charles Osgood and he was a wonderful host as well. It’s an excellent program about the arts and culture and they do good celebrity and artist interviews. Great choice for Harry and Meghan to unveil their program.
@tamsin:
Youre sooooooooo right! Altho Charles Osgood was not the first host of CBS This Morning, his was the period during which I watched the show and I found him to be excellent. So calm, so engaging, go grandfatherly. He hosted the show from ’94 to 2016………..thats all of 22 years. I was so sorry to hear of his passing.
My husband and I watch it every Sunday, he’ll yell out at me “the trumpets are sounding”….and I’ll head in the den with my coffee. It’s such a relaxing 1 1/2 hours!
My husband loves it too! I’m usually the one yelling about the trumpet so he doesn’t miss it 🤣
Mr R calls it church.
Awww, this is very sweet!
Good for them! I can imagine derangers will say they are “deliberately” taking attention from the book about Keen. And William may have to come out and make an appearance now.
Didn’t even the royalists hate the book? Jobson is Charles’s guy. I doubt, he had sources from W&K’s team. If they are taking attention from that, it is good for Kate.
That is my post above listed as anonymous.
Maybe but I think peg is very incandescent over it.
@Tessa, he is always incandescent with rage, that is one thing consistent about him 😭😭
i feel like its just his default state at this point.
He’s on his holiday’s now, can’t interrupt that, he has worked so hard this year!
Every time he’s interviewed, I feel almost surprised by how smart he is. Years of the media portraying him as somewhat silly and dim really did a number.
Sidenote, I’ve never heard her talk with a vocal fry before.
I think it did a number on him as well, which means I think he was getting it from his family too. Even now he doesn’t seem to think he’s all that smart. It’s crazy bc he’s clearly very intelligent.
Think he was typed cast into that dim-wit role early on and he played into it. Then, this beautiful, intelligent woman comes along and he’s like “you know what, I’m better than that. ” It’s been a h*ll of a spiral for the rest of them ever since.
He didn’t do well at school but the education system doesn’t work for everyone. Look at Richard Branson, one O level and so successful.
What is a “vocal fry”?
When you speak at a low register with a kind of (sexy?) growl in it. Think Kardashian.
RE: vocal fry – I heard her and thought she’s suffering a bit with allergies. I’m saying this because I am and it’s showing in my voice.
I’ve never heard of a vocal fry before but if she is like me then I’ll bet that her natural voice is actually very low and husky and she projects when out and about in public so people have mainly been exposed to a higher pitched, perkier voice.
I began projecting when (weird – to me) people began to put their faces really close to mine and say “You have a very low voice” or “Ooh, your voice is very sexy”. Or they would ask me whether I had a cold. For years I instinctively raised my voice (not in a shouty way) as a means of keeping people at arms length because the sudden invasion of my personal space by complete strangers on a regular basis was so unnerving. If I do it all day then I need the entire evening and sometimes an entire weekend just to decompress and recover from it, regardless of which language I have been speaking that day. But catch me at breakfast or in the late hours before I go to bed and I too, will have a husky-sounding voice!
Could be nothing more than a bit of a sore throat.
I just started chemo 10 days ago and I’ve suddenly, at 71, developed vocal fry as a side effect. Sometimes it’s not deliberate Kardashianing.
Hope you’re feeling not-too-awful, Jaded!
Hope it all goes well for you.
I hope you’re feeling okay, Jaded! Vocal fry as a side effect to chemo is so weird. You can sexy talk Mr Jaded like never before!!
Thought you were in your mid to late 50’s. You have incredible energy. You are absolutely going to win your battle, Jaded.
Such a charismatic couple .
It’s apparent that these two do their homework and can speak authoritatively and confidently about their projects – not just superficial talking points prepared by aides like Kate and William. Well done Sussexes!
This is an important program that they’re launching and hope that it is successful. This level of bullying that children and parents are faced with is at a level I’ve never seen. Technology has made things easier, but also much more unsafe.
Yes, agreed. My oldest is 12 and he’s just getting into online spaces – right now I only allow him to chat with friends on the basic imessage app on his iphone, but he’s asking about Instagram and Facebook and Snapchat and I’m trying to hold off as long as possible. It’s hypocritical bc I love instagram and I use facebook a lot for various reasons, but I’m also 42 years old. He has really low self esteem as it is (we have no idea why, he’s smart and sweet and athletic etc) so I’m worried social media will just make that worse.
I think you are right. Don’t do it at 12. It won’t be healthy for him in the long run. Hold off as long as you can.
Jennifer Garner stated this in 2023 on keeping her kids off of social media:
“I just said to my kids, ‘Show me the articles that prove that social media is good for teenagers, and then we’ll have the conversation,'” Garner said. “Find scientific evidence that matches what I have that says that it’s not good for teenagers, and then we’ll chat.”
Numerous studies have found links between negative mental health effects in teens and an increase in social media use, including depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.
Garner said her daughter Violet has appreciated being away from social media. Seraphina and Samuel, meanwhile, are entering the prime age of when many kids start asking parents if they can create their own accounts. “My eldest is grateful,” Garner said. “It’s a long haul. I have a couple more to go, so just knock on wood. We’ll see if I really hang in there.”
My son, who just turned 8 YESTERDAY, is begging for a phone. He wanted one for this birthday and now he’s hinting for Christmas. Um, no sir. First off, you don’t know any phone numbers so who are you going to call? And you can’t type well so who are you going to text?
I was hoping we could make it to 13 before he got a phone but honestly I think it is going to be 10 with him because things are just different now. Hopefully I can find a phone with limited functions and not full access to everything but then again when I was 10 years old I was on AIM telling random dudes I was 23. Thank God I was never even remotely interested in meeting any of these people I was chatting with.
@Meghan we got him one at 10 and it was primarily so he could call us if he was at sports practice and got out early, or it was canceled bc of weather, etc. When we used to stay the whole time he didn’t need it but we’re finally in the drop off and leave stage lol so that was why he had one. That was pretty much all it was supposed to be for but then he used it every morning to check his fantasy football league (which is just with soccer buddies) so that evolved into him spending an hour on it every morning and now, almost 2 years later, the phone addiction is real. And like I said he doesn’t have any social media, he’s just texting with his friends (and let me tell you, 12 year old boys just text a lot of “bruh” back and forth all day) and looking things up on amazon or playing a game he has downloaded.
We are starting to crack back down and just take it away from him for long periods so he relearns how to function without it.
Its part of the reason I dont want him on anything like snapchat – he doesn’t need any reason to be on his phone more.
@Meghan-
There is a phone called/from “Bark” which is called kid safe- maybe look into that-
it’s bark dot us (mine are all early/mid 20s, so I have no experience with it).
@Jayna, thank you for sharing Jennifer Garner’s words. She’s not wrong.imo
Recently saw a grand niece who was bullied/harassed for her weight during her middle school years. Beautiful, smart, kind and loving individual. She tried fitting in and had dark thoughts for a time.
Asked her how she was. Said your parents told me about…..things.
She said, “I’m in a really good place now. I’ve learned most people’s opinions don’t matter. My life is much better with only x amount of people that care about me and not being ‘popular’. I have my parents to thank for that. It’s funny to me how popular they are on SM/life and had me cut myself off from it. They went through their own things (they did) and were there for me every day. I don’t need to be as popular as they are, I just want to be as good of people as they are.”.
I said, “How old are you again, you schooled me.”.
Love this program.
Need to add, her parents are popular because they are kind and very accepting of everyone. Except a@@holes.
They got Jane Pauly! Amazing.
I haven’t heard her name in years.. I am looking forward to seeing the interview and I am excited to hear about what Archewell is doing behind the scenes.
She anchors CBS Sunday Morning every week.
I haven’t had cable in over a decade.. I refused to continue bringing toxic 24 hour news into my home. Cable doesn’t offer a package that excludes them so I refuse to support by purchasing cable. Can’t even sign into the cbs app without cable service. So I will be watching by antenna if the weather isn’t to awful.
@hypocrisy we do not have cable, only streaming services and CBS News etc. is free. We watch it every week. I can get to it via iPad or our tv which I think is a Sony Bravia?
Love her. I just watched an amazing interview she did with the late Anthony Bourdain and it was wonderful. She really has a knack for bringing out the best in her interviewees.
I can’t wait to see this. Pearl clutching will begin and people with absolutely no knowledge about what they are going to say will start sh*t.
Can’t wait to watch this and find out more. Respect to them for their work on this topic. 💜
Allegedly the interview was filmed in NY.
Looks very farmhouse style, not their style. This make sense, as they get so much unwarranted criticism of their home. That they bought. With their money.
H&M are always kind, always thinking of helping others. There is Invictus of course with the constant goal of helping Veterans while also providing a venue for countries to re-new their support. Meghan’s initiatives began while in England, from her cookbook which supported survivors of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, to her capsule collection for women trying to enter the workforce. Now this effort to support victims of online bullying and giving their parents tools to help their children. These are all real world problems not just excuses to get dressed up in fancy outfits while parading Crown Jewels. They think of others with everything that they do.
Meghan did more in her 18 months than Kate has done in more than a decade.
Yes, but Meghan was also working on philanthropic projects well before she and Harry met. She worked with UN Women’s One Young World, and with a UN Women-sponsored safe water project in Rwanda. In addition, Meghan did advocacy and promotion work for Myna Mahila’s mission to provide sanitary products for women and young girls in India. Meghan also promoted on her IG the importance of adopting needy shelter animals, as she had done for her rescue dogs, Bogart and Guy.
Everything Meghan had done and all of who she is was what she brought to her relationship and marriage with Harry. The projects Meghan spearheaded in the U.K. after marrying were an extension of her prior philanthropic endeavors, and thus, a natural fit.
So true.
KM got engaged in 2010 and commenced a few engagements immediately with W, so she’s well into her 14th year of public life. Fourteen years v eighteen months…….
At least Jobson, in his recent biography of KM, did state that Meghan’s arrival was rumoured to have been met with “pettiness and jealousy”. Wonder what Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas made of KM at the time.
Williams now going to want an interview for his next earth shot appearance.
Makeup. The show has their own hair and makeup department I’ve heard, so she looks a bit different in someone else’s hands. I believe she is confident in her own skin and will not go the surgery route.
Maybe it is the same rental house where she filmed her Netflix cooking show?
I read the interview happened in New York.
Yes, I think the show tapes in New York, so that would make sense. Wonder what else Harry worked on in New York. They appear to be very efficient with their time on their away business trips, and always seem to get a lot done.
Is sussex season finally upon us👀
As you age, you begin to lose facial fat. It’s normal and more noticeable on some depending on the shape of your face. You are just used to seeing everyone on TV with their faces filled to the max after age 40. She looks normal to me: an attractive woman in her 40s.
Of course, the derangers on X are going after Jane Pauley for interviewing the Sussexes.
WTF is wrong with people?
Do you know what I do when William gives an interview? I might poke fun at it here if warranted but otherwise I just ignore it. I dont harass the interviewer on social media.
Right? I’m happy to poke fun here but I don’t go to places to give clicks and views and comments to William or Kate. At most, I’ll click on or like posts that call jk Rowling out😂.
When is the last time William even gave a video interview? Usually it’s just the press putting words in for him to describe his new life’s mission like homelessness or whatever.
This is the part I don’t understand! I don’t go scream into the void at the BAFTAs or any other organization connected to the royal family. I can confidently say I have never, ever gone after any organization or person that has affiliated with the British royals.
I think less of people who are obviously courting honors, but I talk about it here or just let it move to another part of my brain, I don’t go full metal jacket on social media. It’s the most baffling thing to witness, and I’m not sure how these people live with themselves.
They really broke me when they firestormed the families of the murdered Uvalde kids. These people buried their children, and you are yelling at them for Meghan and Harry and Archewell building a playground. What has happened to you in your life that you are this way?
Anything resembling sympathy I had for them evaporated. I get it, it sucks when your team is always the loser, but sincerely. You went after the families of murdered kids.
This is such an important issue, not least because it’s so huge and people feel overwhelmed by the prospect of taking it on. Good for H&M! I really admire the way they use their influence to help people who don’t have their resources. Ahem, W&K.
This month is booked for the Sussexes. An interview and all the footage we’ll get from the Colombia trip… this is the Sussexes “see and be seen” era! Bravo!
All of these British tabloid articles about Meghan should win an award for yawning emptiness. They have something of a feel to them like some clumsy horror films from the 1950s – howling ghosts from centuries past trying to have an opinion.
++1000. ‘yawning emptiness’ is so apt. Reminds me of certain right wing supporters.
Am I the only one to notice (or at least the only one willing to mention) that either that’s great lighting and contouring or that she’s been “refreshed” a bit? Not much, but maybe an injectable here and there? No? Is it just my imagination? Anyone? …Bueller?…Bueller?
I too have been noticing some differences but I never think it’s injectable’s or any of that, I tend to think it’s,
1. In the last 6 years Meghan has had 2 kids and took her time losing any baby weight, so her face looked fuller for a number of years,
2. She’s approaching her mid-40s and possibly perimenopause, I noticed that my face changed quite a bit during that time, it became less full, more angular,
3. It could be the lighting and how her makeup was applied.
But again I’m someone who unless there’s a really noticeable difference, never thinks about “work” including injectables.
Her eyes look a little different but her face is thinner and more angular as she’s gotten older so not sure.
Her hair is gorgeous so this isn’t specific to her but I am so ready to collectively move on from center parts only.
It was a really good segment and well done interview. Location was Santa Barbara but not their house. Really good program but so sad the loss these parents have gone through. SuperficiaI but I really liked what Meghan was wearing. Thought it was appropriate for the occasion and like RL.
