Meghan Markel and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey has created a lot of buzz in media across the world. After some shocking revelation from Meghan, Queen Elizabeth is in crisis talks on Tuesday.
The chat show was aired in the UK and even Prime Minister Boris Johnson was asked to comment on the allegations of racism that had emerged.
According to some British media reports, a palace statement has been prepared but Queen Elizabeth II is yet to sign it off as crisis talks continue after damaging claims emerged around the 39-year-old former actress” suicidal thoughts as a newly-married Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan told Winfrey in the interview that she “just didn’t see a solution” to the mental suffering she had experienced since joining the royal family and that she told Harry she “didn’t want to be alive anymore.”
Markle, who is African American, says her husband Prince Harry revealed his family’s concerns over Archie’s skin tone, as well as the security he would be entitled to, ahead of his birth on May 6, 2019.
Harry and Meghan refused to name individuals behind the alleged racist comments but Winfrey later told CBS, the US network which broadcast the interview, that off camera Harry had stressed that “neither his grandmother [Queen] nor grandfather [Prince Philip] was part of that conversation”.
While Harry said he felt relieved that he had been able to protect his wife and children, as the couple awaits the birth of a baby girl in the coming months, Meghan said she regretted that she had trusted the “institution” of the monarchy when they had assured her that they would protect her from false media attacks.
Meghan also revealed that she and Harry were technically married a few days before the ceremony watched by the world.
Simmi Garewal’s take on the interview:
Meanwhile, Indian actor and TV host Simmi Garewal has claimed that Meghan is an ‘evil’ and lying.
Taking it to Twitter, Simi wrote, “#OprahMeghanHarry I don’t believe a word Meghan says. Not a word. She is lying to make herself a victim. She is using the race card to gain sympathy. Evil.”
