   I know the British tabloids are in an uproar over the Oprah interview,   
   but I also know the tabloids are often in the business of trying to make   
   news rather than report it.   
      
   Is the latest Oprah interview generating a lot of deep outrage in the   
   UK, or is it just a flash in the pan? (or for that matter, despite what   
   is in the headlines, sympathy for the estranged couple?)   
      
   I feel a bit like this writer for the Irish Times, minus the bit about   
   the  grandfather:   
      
   "Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour who’s   
   really into clowns and has daubed their house with clown murals,   
   displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear   
   about and discuss clown-related news stories. More specifically, for the   
   Irish, it’s like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and, also,   
   your grandfather was murdered by a clown."
