Harry and Meghan’s unprecedented two-hour interview has completely tarnished the royal family’s reputation.
In it, the former royal couple tells Oprah about the harrowing experiences they had when Meghan Markle visited Buckingham Palace. Most of these devastating and scandalous secrets have shocked – the most shocking facts ever.
Harry revealed that Prince Charles stopped talking to him on the phone while they were in Canada. He has revealed that he had two conversations with his father, at a time when he was “desperate”, before the phone call with Charles ended. Harry and Meg did not actually marry in the lavish ceremony that the world witnessed. They were married with self-written vows in their courtyard, and it was performed in the presence and supervision of Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury. During Meghan’s pregnancy, the royal family had concerns about the color of baby Archie’s skin. Meghan and Harry refused to reveal who actually said it, which surprised us even more.
4. He revealed that the press controls everyone in Britain. And the press remains at the mercy of the royal family in exchange for privileges and other benefits. We learned about their biases when Oprah made headlines about Kate and Meg’s baby bumps. Kate received praise, while Meg received cruel judgment.
5. Megan’s mental health troubles were caused by facing racism and being harassed endlessly by the press. Furthermore, she became completely isolated in the palace, forced to hide her issues, and at times not even allowed to go out.
6. Harry explains that after Archie was born, every day when he came home from work, he would find Meghan crying while she was breastfeeding their son.
7. Megan revealed the severity of her mental health troubles and revealed that she contemplated suicide. The interview further states that she had genuinely frightening thoughts and that when she asked for mental health help, she was turned away. She was forced to hand over her passport, driving license and keys to the royal family and she was trapped in it.
8. What’s more, when she reached out to the palace’s human resources department for help, they claimed they couldn’t help her because she wasn’t a paid employee. And all that after expressing that she “did not want to live anymore.”
9. The royal family refused to provide security to Archie, including his royal title, which means that the security of Archie’s life was of no value to them. After stepping back from royal duties, they also took away Harry’s security. Megan and Harry were receiving death threats at this time, which made the situation even more frightening.
10. Harry and Meghan both candidly said they felt “trapped” and went on to explain the restrictions and pressure Harry has placed on other family members. He said, “My father and my brothers are trapped. This is a very trapped environment that a lot of people are trapped in.”
11. Markle confirmed that things are all about appearances with the royals, and one thing she’s learned from the family is that “appearances are never what they seem.” No matter what you were doing, as soon as the lights and cameras came on and attention was turned on you, you had no choice but to fake a smile and pretend everything was fine.
12. Tabloids around the world published stories about how Meghan Markle made Kate Middleton cry. In this interview, it turns out that things were actually different! There was a fight over the flower girl dress for Princess Charlotte, and Meg says it “made me cry and really hurt my feelings.”
13.In terms of Harry’s relationship with his brother William, there is currently a distinct ‘distance’ in their relationship. Since William is a very strict follower of royal rules and has never stepped out of this line, it is only natural that this happens.
14. It appears the royal family was either intimidated or jealous of Meghan transitioning into the role of Duchess so easily. That’s probably because she reminded them of Diana, who did things her own way and the public wanted her to.
15. Prince Harry drew a direct comparison to his late mother’s scandal with history repeating itself. He took the bold step of leaving the palace due to fear of consequences as his wife was under the same pressure – with additional factors being social media and racism in particular. During the interview, Meghan also wore one of Diana’s diamond bracelets.
16. The only good news from this interview was that we suddenly learned that Megan is going to give birth to a baby girl this summer. The family seems to have found peace on their farm in California. He even encouraged Oprah!
