In a two-hour interview aired in the US – Oprah With Meghan And Harry: A Primetime Special, the couple made a series of bombshell claims – including Harry saying Prince Charles had at one point stopped taking his calls, and alleging he had been “trapped” in the royal system, “like the rest of my family”.
The couple also discussed racism, with Harry saying it “hurt” that his family did not speak out against articles “with colonial undertones” written about his wife. Meghan told Winfrey she married into the royals “naively, because I didn’t grow up knowing much about the Royal Family”. While the couple were respectful of the Queen, with Meghan saying she had “always been wonderful” to her, the interview will no doubt have shocked the Royal Family.
