Description
Over 17 million viewers tuned in for Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The revelations of racism, depression, sister-in-law rivalry, and the power of the tabloids over the Royals riveted a public desperate for distraction from the ongoing pandemic. In this lecture, “Megxit” and its fallout will be discussed within a larger historical context, linking it to past scandals from the Georgian era through the late 20th century.
