RTE's Tommy Gorman sits down with Meghan Markle in a tell all interview... TG:
To get you to put in context the reasons for the row between yourself
and the Royal Family. Was it bad blood between yourself and Lizzie or
was it the bad preparations in the palace? MM: Obviously a
lot has been said over the last few months but I'm here to tell the
truth. The last straw was obviously being accused of faking mental
illness. TG:But what happened before that? The impression we
have is somebody who went over there who was looking to marry into the
Royal family, who wanted to do well for the Royal family and just felt
that the training you in just wasn't going well. MM: The first
night after the wedding there was a meal and Liz gave a speech and the
Royal doctor spoke saying to be careful of the press and what to do and
what not to do and he continued on saying to look after your mental
health but there were no therapists here and I was thinking why aren't
there therapists here? That's not being pig headed, that's not being a
primadonna its just being honest. I was disappointed straight away with
that. I went to my room feeling down and later on went to Lizzie's room
and told her I was disappointed that there were no mental health
facilities in the palace and she said they were supposed to be here 2
yrs ago, I said 'Liz! They should have been here 30 years ago!' TG: Did you think you had support from the other Royals because they were Royals aswell? MM:
Listen, it was a bit of a laugh and a joke but I told Liz there was
going to be mental health issues and 3 days later there was. TG: So you threatened to leave, that you wanted to come home. How was that sorted out? MM:
They just said 'We'll protect you Meghan.' Mick Byrne came to my room
and said Stay Meghan, we'll sort things out. I believed them. I decided
to stick it out. Then he came back to my room later on saying I have 3
minutes to make up my mind. I said I'd say. Of course I had already
agreed to do an interview with The Irish Times and... TG: But do you see from Lizzies perspective this was a challenge to her authority? MM: The article was fine. I questioned the mental health facilities.. It was the truth. TG: Then a hastily arranged meeting took place.. MM:
Liz came in. I knew it was about the interview.She went on to say that
she was disappointed. I just said to myself 'just stay calm'. I had
spoken to Fergie and she said she picked up a mental health problem and
there wasn't the right facilities. The press say I give people hell. I
tell the truth. TG: Do you accept that the language you used was not appropriate for a Royal. MM:
She knew I wasn't right! I had told her I had mental health issues.
She knew that. I wasn't going to accept her having a go at me. TG: But do you accept you went too far Meghan MM:
If I felt for one second, for one second , that I was a little bit out
of order I'd apologise and go back and be a Royal. But I'm 100% right.
Some senior Royals agree with me but when they had their chance to speak
they just sat there and I just walked out of the room and walked out on
being a Royal and not one person backed me up. Not one! TG: What about the view of Lizzie. There's a view in the British press that she's a good woman, an honest woman. MM:
Liz has obviously had a very good career and done very well. I
wouldn't say I know Liz that well but generally found her ok but that
came to an end the other night. The press make out I'ma loner and stay
all day in my room...Then there was a dinner with the press and Liz said
she wanted the press on their side. Good luck to 'em. TG:
But what about all the little kids in the UK who would love to see you
back. Kids that will never have a chance. There are 13 or 14 year olds
who are haunted by whats going on. MM: They'll get over it. I
have to stand up for what I believe in. What happened to me was
wrong. Then within 20 mins of the meeting the Royals released a
statement saying our money had been cut off and priviliges and security
taken away. People look at them as role models. They're cowards. Then
a couple of the Royals came to my room to say their goodbyes. Said 'we
respected everything you said Meghan but we want to be Royals. They
said if its any consolation when you left the room Lizzie said 'we have
to stick together now' and there was a round of applause but we didn't
cllap.' I said thanks very much. Then I rang Fergie and asked to
arrange a flight home. TG: Alex Ferguson? MM:
No Sarah Ferguson. The Duchess. She understood everything. But like I
say I didn't want to be going to the media. I didn;t want to be doing
this interview today. Then I got back to L.A. and my solicitor Michael
Kennedy said 'you need to say somethign because there is an imbalance in
the story' as I hears a lot of stuff that was coming out about me,
stuff that wasn't true. Stuff like I made Kate Middleton cry. Nonsense. I
need to speak out. The people of Britain need to know the truth. I'm
human. I think I was forced into a corner. My conscience is clear. TG: If you thought that they would take you back..(interrupted) MM: What do you mean 'take me back'?! TG If you thought that they would love you back that Liz was prepared to bury the hatchet, what would Meghan Markle say? MM: I really don't know.. TG: The country would love you back MM: I'd love to be back but its up to other people.. TG: It would do so much for the morale of kids who will never have a chance MM:
I dont know. I really don't know. I need to stand up for what I
believe in. You weren't on that island. The mental health facilities
were a disgrace! TG: There is talk now that there are some Royals who want you back (interrupted) MM: Maybe they are worried about their own reputations.. They had a chance to speak uplast year and said f**k all. TG: But you can understand how things can be misunderstood. After all you went to Liz saying you had personal problems. MM: Yeah that's right but that was on the Tuesday. It was all forgotten about. TG:
But could you not find a compromise. Look at the Galway GAA team. A
sport you love Meghan. And the Donnelan brother made up with their
manager and went on to win the All Ireland. Surely you could make up
with the Royal family? MM: Maybe...maybe. Its out of my
hands. I'm standing firm. The press make out I'm a loner, a bitch etc..
Nonsense. What happened to me was wrong. I need to stand up for what I
believe in. TG: This is hurting you Meghan isn't it? MM: Dead right it is. Edited by Trap junior - 09 Mar 2021 at 3:47pm |

Instagram: Micah Richards. Micah has joined the world of football analysts in the last year. Burst onto the scene. Maybe. Micah is on another wavelength to me. He is like a big child. Hyper. Not the worst. Daft though. He likes social media. Instagram his platform of choice. Every spare minute we are off air he has his phone in my face. Sometimes I think ''f**k off Micah''. This whole social media world is alien to me. Me? Social? The closest I've been to the word 'social' is being called a sociopath. Maybe I should join SociopApp! Listen. It's all a load of nonsense. Nonsense. The last year has meant plenty of time at home killing time during lockdown. Michael Kennedy calls. ''Roy, I don't know if you follow social media but you and Micah have been getting rave reviews. They can't get enough of you two.'' I dont respond and roll my eyes. ''I know Roy. I know. But this is a good thing. You are being seen less as a grumpy disturbed psycho and more a lovable old fart that Micah can bring a smile out of. Could be your ticket back into management.'' ''How so?'' I reply. ''Well Roy. Put it like this. Your image a year ago was this angry man completely out of touch with the modern player. You were a loner, a psycho, a hard man. Now you are showing a cuddly side. A Roy you can have a laugh with. If you join Instagram it will show the public and chairmen out there that you can relate to the modern player who has strong social media presence. At least think about it Roy.'' 'Hello' I thought. I despised the world of social media and modern life. Full of spivs and posers. More worried what they look like in photos than what's in their trophy cabinet. Myself and Martin had been spurned by RatsApp when we were in charge of Ireland. I paid Stephen Ward a visit soon after. I don't think he has walked properly since. But R.Keane is streetwise too. The calls about potential jobs have dried up for a few years now. The silence was deafening. Maybe I need to move with the times. Google Play Store. Search 'Instagram'. Download. I shudder. You've moved over to the dark side Roy. The shame. I set up an account. 'OfficialKeane16'. I have to upload a photo to get started. I choose the love of my life. Triggs. Thank God for her. My first selfie. I think I've come out in a rash. Upload. Within two hours the internet breaks. I'm getting texts asking is this me. They can't believe it. I have 1 million followers within a few hours. I get a text from Gary Neville with a link to his Instagram page. I reply 'so?'. I sort of feel a bit bemused by it all. This is modern life. A running photo album. The followers keep coming. Pirlo, Zidane, some bird with big tits who invites me to follow her. Delete. I see two tits in front of me everytime I am on Sky. Micah and Dave Jones. I'm a grandad now. 49 and a grandad. Jesus. I upload a pic of me with the miserable little git. Just like his grandad. R.Keane has a sense of humour. Sometimes. I get a call from Michael. This is making waves. There is an offer in to do a tv advert for Wrigley's Extra. They want me to play a grumpy dad who catches a young lad in bed with his daughter. Instead of doing a Haaland on the boy the kid offers me a chewing gum cool minty flavour and I just keep my cool. The new Roy plays it cool according to the script. The ad finishes with the caption 'Roy is cool now' under an image of a packet of Extra Peppermint. I smirk. Almost. |

Roy's Christmas Message by Roy Keane (aged 49 1/2) Let's face it. An annus horribilis. 2020 has been a bit of a disaster for one main reason. United's poor form. Some of the defending has been shocking. Really abysmal stuff. DeGea! The most overrated goalkeeper....EVER! And Maguire! I think my daughter could defend better. England international? If that's one of the best defenders in England then God help us. Things are worse than I thought. Lindelof? More like KittenSoft. Shaw? He looks like he has had his Christmas dinner early. Another awful player. At least get fit! He looks like he must be going for a Chinese after every game. He must be wearing size 40 shorts! Then there is Paul Pogba. A talented boy. He has a pass and a goal in him but during his last medical he had an issue with his ECG. The doctors found out he had no heart. Paul won't be at United much longer. Ole needs to get rid of him. Trust me. United have had a few wins of late. Don't get carried away. 'Ole's at the wheel'. I think Ole's driving record isn't the best. I think he must be still on his provisional. He's got more points on his licence than they have in the league. Let's not get kidded on. Ole's a nice guy. A good guy. Too nice maybe. A few fluky wins against the Premier League's no hopers. This is Man Utd! A 3 game winning streak is seen as some sort of roll! Players hugging each other and laughing. You're not supposed to enjoy winning. Some of these players now. My God! Wearing the face off each other in the tunnel before a derby game. Fist bumping like they are The Notorious BIG. Really childish stuff. Sometimes I wonder if I'm looking at a football match or Boyz in the Hood. All Pogba needs is a gold chain and a gun. He puts more effort into these fist bumping routines than his game! He comes out with these ridiculous haircuts. I had to do a double take one time because I actually thought Grace Jones had ran out for the game. Apart from United there were some real horror shows. Pickford! A stupid boy. I'd say he failed trigonometry in school anyway. Doesn't know his angles. Probably the worst goalkeeper to play in the Premier League in 30 yrs. People say he's England number 1! I just laugh. He looks a bit slow that boy and I'm not talking about his reaction times. Speaking of idiots Kyle Walker is up there. Kyle likes to stick a foot out in stupid places. Gives away penalties. You wonder if he has a brain. He has his sleeve tattoos though (important). Mikel Arteta took over Arsenal a year ago. People hailed him as the next Guardiola. He's Spanish. He talks a good game. He'd do. Arsenal are 15th in the table and they say he's revolutionising the club! Sometimes I think football these days is about your image than your ability. Nice haircut. Check. Speak with a foreign accent. Check. Talk about systems. Check. Split your two centre backs on the goal line for kick outs. Check. Arsenal are 15th. Could go down. But Mikel is doing a great job. The Manuel from Fawlty Towers of the Premier League. I'd like to manage again. I think I deserve another crack off of it. I think maybe I don't have the image for it. I can't see myself fist bumping like Vanilla Ice. Don't get me started on Liverpool. Early in the year we were told they were the best Premier League team EVER! Do me a favour! I was on doing one of their games on Sky. ''Don't be bitter Roy. Bite your tongue'' I told myself. ''Play the media game. You want another job in management. Play the game.'' No. I'd be lying. People tune in to hear my thoughts. I'd be letting my whole family down. My brother Johnson back in Cork would be mortified if I didn't have a needless go at someone. I'd be imagining him getting stick in Trax niteclub or some chipper. ''Your brother's a media man now!'' The shame. Liverpool have won one league title. Klopp had a go at me for saying his side were sloppy. This coming from the most bipolar man in England. He's either laughing his head off or throwing a hissy fit. There's no in between with Jurgen. In December I got a letter from a young lad in some primary school back in Cork. Theresa thought it was cute. ''Go and pay them a visit Roy'' she said. The principal thought it would be a good idea for me to address the school in the PE hall. ''Ms. Murphy in High Babies told me that some of the homework last week was really poor. Shocking stuff. I am beginning to wonder if any of you have the desire. Look at these drawings. Colouring outside the lines! Really sloppy stuff! I remember when I was your age getting all my spelling tests right in High Babies and the teacher praising me one day for it in front of the class. Gave me a star. I almost get insulted by that. What am I supposed to do? Get all my spelling wrong? Not try my best? Not do my best for my family back in Mayfield? I told her where to go that day.'' On the way out the principal said I had gone too far shouting at the kids, saying they were fat and useless. Telling them Santa was a fraud. Making them cry. No. People don't like the truth. ''What do you want me to do? Tell them lies?'' People say Merry Christmas. Nonsense. Edited by Trap junior - 23 Dec 2020 at 2:09pm |
