Millions more have streamed the special and watched in other countries. The British papers say Buckingham Palace is in &#8220;crisis&#8221; as a result of the couple&#8217;s account. So what now? What will the palace say and do? And what about Meghan and Harry? Their next statements may come in the form of actions &#8212; following the old adage that actions speak louder than words. They are building up their storytelling channels, with Netflix and Spotify, which came up in the Winfrey interview; and they have the Archewell Foundation.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Harry and Meghan&#8217;s three areas of focus, according to a spokesperson for the couple, are mental health; racial and gender equity; and the topic of safe online spaces. Anyone who watched the Oprah special can see why all three are so important to the couple&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<h3>Tuesday&#8217;s front pages<\/h3>\n<p>Meghan and Harry&#8217;s charges were covered all day long by the British media, leading up to ITV&#8217;s telecast of the special at 8pm GMT. Tuesday&#8217;s front pages showcase the stark divide between US and UK media when it comes to the Sussexes. The Guardian&#8217;s front page says the palace is &#8220;in crisis following devastating racism claim.&#8221; The Daily Telegraph carries a front-page column calling the interview an &#8220;insult to the Queen.&#8221; The Daily Express says it is &#8220;so sad it has come to this.&#8221; And the Daily Mirror calls this the &#8220;worst royal crisis in 85 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sky News has a compilation of all the front pages here. The one that stuck out most to me was Metro, showcasing the newly released photo of Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Meghan&#8217;s baby bump.<\/p>\n<h3>Media lessons from the Oprah interview<\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an incomplete list of the lessons, or for some TV insiders the reminders, that came from the CBS special:<br \/>\n&#8212; <strong><em>Don&#8217;t give it all away ahead of time.<\/em><\/strong> &#8220;If anything, all of the hype underestimated just how revealing this interview would be,&#8221; Brianna Keilar said to me on CNN. She&#8217;s right. The teasers generated a week&#8217;s worth of attention ahead of time but didn&#8217;t spill any of the tea. Oprah&#8217;s team ensured that nothing leaked. As a result, the palace couldn&#8217;t prebut the interview and the special contained maximum shock value.<br \/>\n&#8212; <strong><em>Let it breathe.<\/em><\/strong> The interview &#8220;really showed the power of the long-format interview, which is almost totally gone from TV nowadays,&#8221; THR&#8217;s Alex Weprin commented. &#8220;Everything is crunched into tight, fast-paced segments now, to the detriment of all involved.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8212; <strong><em>Follow-up questions make all the difference.<\/em><\/strong> &#8220;Oprah best displayed her interviewing chops by relentlessly circling back to emotional or newsmaking comments like a heat-seeking missile,&#8221; WaPo&#8217;s Margaret Sullivan wrote. But Winfrey didn&#8217;t rush or interrupt. She sometimes waited half an hour before circling back &#8220;to clarify, to get the specifics, to nail down the news.&#8221; And that, of course, is the luxury of a taped interview.<br \/>\n&#8212; <strong><em>Leave something on the cutting room floor.<\/em><\/strong> Winfrey&#8217;s announcement at the end of the broadcast that additional clips would air on Monday&#8217;s &#8220;CBS This Morning&#8221; was a nice bit of synergy&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8212; <strong><em>Broadcast TV still has juice, but it&#8217;s getting harder to squeeze.<\/em><\/strong> Legacy networks still have the ability to convene large numbers of people, but it takes something huge &#8212; something like Oprah, Meghan and Harry.<br \/>\n&#8212; <strong><em>History has an echo.<\/em><\/strong> &#8220;It was hard to escape the eerie parallels between Princess Diana&#8217;s 1995 Martin Bashir interview and this one,&#8221; Brian Lowry wrote. &#8220;And give Netflix an assist, since &#8216;The Crown&#8217; has brought that back to life for millions&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8212; <strong><em>Don&#8217;t forget about the streamers.<\/em><\/strong> On Sunday I encountered lots of complaints from cable-free households who wanted to watch the special but seemed lost. Networks that are constantly promoting their streaming services need a plan and proactive outreach for moments like this. (The special is now streaming for free on CBS.com.)<\/p>\n<h3>FOR THE RECORD, PART ONE<\/h3>\n<p>&#8212; Michelle Ruiz writes: &#8220;Once again, Oprah proves she&#8217;s America&#8217;s queen&#8230;&#8221; (Vogue)<br \/>\n&#8212; Steven Zeitchik says the special &#8220;also validated her larger business strategy.&#8221; Here&#8217;s why&#8230; (WaPo)<br \/>\n&#8212; The couple&#8217;s loudest critic in the UK may well be Piers Morgan.

OprahMag.com shared an &#8220;exclusive&#8221; clip on Monday evening that showed Meghan talking about the couple&#8217;s requests for privacy, in light of her experiences being hounded by photographers who invaded her personal space.<br \/>\nMeghan said they want to be able to share &#8220;parts of their lives&#8221; just like everyone else: &#8220;There&#8217;s no one who&#8217;s on Instagram or social media that would say, &#8216;Because I shared this one picture, that entitles you to have my entire camera roll. Go ahead and look through it.&#8217; No one would want that. So it&#8217;s about boundaries. And it&#8217;s about respect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>About $20 million in ad revenue for CBS?<\/h3>\n<p>The broadcast was a cultural earthquake. &#8220;CBS booked an estimated $20 million in ads for its Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview,&#8221; Insider&#8217;s Claire Atkinson wrote Monday. &#8220;More than 50 ads aired and slots sold from anywhere between $250,000 and $325,000, agencies say&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>George Cheeks&#8217; memo<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Last night the vitality and power of CBS and broadcast television was on display in a big way,&#8221; CBS Entertainment Group CEO George Cheeks wrote in a memo to staffers Monday night. He noted that the initial 17.1 million # for the Oprah special &#8220;will continue to grow in the days ahead.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It was the largest primetime audience for any entertainment special during the current 2020-2021 season and it dominated social media by every measure,&#8221; Cheeks wrote. &#8220;The new CBS app, where the special is available on demand, is #1 in the Apple App Store. The special is another recent example of major broadcast events on CBS creating a shared cultural moment that ignites social media and sets the agenda for coverage and conversation everywhere.&#8221; He also credited &#8220;CBS This Morning&#8221; with generating &#8220;a new wave of coverage and interest this morning&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>FOR THE RECORD, PART TWO<\/h3>\n<p>&#8212; ViacomCBS shares are still on a tear, gaining 12% on Monday, an all-time high&#8230; (Seeking Alpha)<br \/>\n&#8212; Ashley Fetters and Jennifer Hassan write: &#8220;The interview represents a new inflection point in the global racial reckoning of the past year&#8230;&#8221; (WaPo)<br \/>\n&#8212; Don Lemon writes: The old &#8216;brown paper bag test&#8217; &#8212; a sliding valuation of skin tone &#8212; still exists.
