One of the most talked-about topics on the internet today is the Oprah Winfrey's interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The interview comes after Harry and
Meghan decided to step back from the English Royal Family last year and
relocated to the United States
The interview has also been branded
the most important piece of royal TV since Harry's mother, Princess Diana, spoke to the BBC's Martin Bashir in
1995 after her separation from Prince Charles.
Here are a couple of teas spilt
during the interview:
1. Meghan says she was
depressed living in the palace and often contemplated suicide. "I didn't want to be alive anymore," she
says.
2. Harry discloses that his
family has been cut off financially from the palace, which is why they had to
seek deals with Netflix and Spotify.
3. Harry says his family
never really liked Meghan from the beginning and he was told that they were
never going to foot her bills. He said “But that was right at the beginning when she wasn't going to get
security when members of my family were suggesting that she carries on acting because there was not enough money to pay for her, and all this sort of stuff.
Like, there was some real obvious signs before we even got married
that this was going to be really hard,”
4. Meghan discloses that one
member of the Royal Family was very concerned about how brown or black their
son (Archie) was going to be before he was born.
She said “In those months when I was
pregnant, all around this same time, we have in tandem, the conversation of
"He won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title," and
also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born”
5. Asked if it was 'important' for her
that Archie be called a Prince, Meghan says she doesn't have any attachment to
the 'grandeur' of official titles.
6. Meghan discloses that the
Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, who
is Prince William's wife, once made her cry.
She said “A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something
pertaining - yes, the issue was correct - about flower girl dresses, and it
made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings. But she owned it, and she apologised. And she brought me flowers
and a note, apologising”
7. Meghan says members of the
Royal Family were willing to lie to protect other members of the family, "but they weren't willing, to tell the truth, to protect me and
my husband."
8. Meghan says she entered
the Royal Family naively and that she was shocked when she had to curtsy before
the queen during their first meeting.
She said “That was when the penny
dropped. We just practised and then walked in. We went in and I met her and
apparently, I did a very deep curtsy, I don't remember it. Then we just sat
there and chatted. I grew up in LA (Los Angeles), I see celebrities all the
time. It's not the same. This is a completely different ball game”
9. Harry says they were left
with no security from Buckingham Palace when they escaped the UK for Canada and
then for California. He adds that it was Tyler Perry who
came to their rescue by offering them a roof over their heads and security.
10. Meghan and Harry are
expecting a baby girl in the summer. She displays her growing baby bump during
the Oprah interview.
