SARAH VINE: If Meghan Markle was wrong about the wedding, how can we believe anything else? 

Truth, we are told, is central to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Indeed, it was supposedly the desire for truth that drove them to give that explosive interview to Oprah Winfrey, broadcast just over two weeks ago. ‘How do you feel about the Palace hearing you speak your truth today?’ asked Oprah. ‘I don’t … Read more

SARAH VINE: Meghan the mermaid and a fairy tale with a fishy ending

Fair to say, I think, that the Meghan and Harry interview with Oprah Winfrey raises so many more questions than it answers.

Ask any middle-aged woman what her superpower is and chances are you’ll get the same answer: invisibility. Our ability to go undetected during the normal course of our daily lives is quite amazing. That dishwasher that mysteriously unloads itself; those towels that miraculously return to the airing cupboard, all clean and fluffy.  The food that … Read more

SARAH VINE: What TV’s Tom has got to tell Harry and Meghan

When celebrity couples announce they’re taking a break from social media, it usually means they’re either heading for rehab or the divorce courts. So it was a relief to see that no sooner had the Duke and Duchess of Sussex taken tearful leave of their millions of Instagram followers they were back, broadcasting loud and clear … Read more

SARAH VINE: No one gets a second childhood. Why must THEY pay the price for the virus?

Since the 1870s, when Britain stopped sending children up chimneys, this country has upheld its commitment to the care of the young. As of Monday, when it was announced that all schools would have to close until mid-February at the earliest, that principle is now in question. It is clear to me, and to other … Read more
