Meghan's relationship with Kate Middleton and Harry's problems with his father and his brother are some of the topics discussed in the interview that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave to Oprah Winfrey.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have lived up to expectations. Broadcast on the American network CBS, the explosive interview that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have given to Oprah Winfrey is full of statements as revealing as the one regarding Meghan's thoughts of suicide or the racism she claims to have suffered at the court of Queen Elizabeth II.
“I didn't want to live anymore. It was a constant, clear, and terrifying thought,” said Meghan, who at another point in the interview revealed that when she asked the palace about the possibility of seeking medical help, she was told that it was not possible because “it would not be good for the institution".
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have also revealed an episode of racism related to their baby, although they did not want to go into many details because “it would be too damaging” for the royal family.
When asked by Oprah Winfrey if “they were worried that if their son was too 'dark' skinned that it would become a problem”, Prince Harry confirmed that someone from the British royal family brought up the topic of his skin color. with which the children he had with Meghan, with a white father and a black mother, would be born. “It was like that from the beginning. What will the children be like? From the beginning,” the Duke of Sussex has declared without revealing the identity of the relatives who asked him.
The Duke of Sussex also revealed that “one of the saddest moments” for him was when seventy members of the British Parliament called the treatment his wife received by the tabloids racist, and yet “no one in my family said anything during these two years. That hurts".
Another turning point in his relationship with the British royal family was marked by the first official tour he made with his wife to Australia. “Meghan was spectacular with people. "That brought back memories for the royal family and they didn't like it," the Duke of Sussex told Oprah about Princess Diana, who during her first tour to that country eclipsed Prince Charles and aroused her jealousy.
"My father, my brother, Kate, and the rest of the family gave him a good welcome," Prince Harry said about the beginning of his relationship with Meghan. "But that changed after the Australian tour. It was the first time they saw how amazing [Meghan] is at work."
Meghan's relationship with Kate Middleton has been another of the topics discussed in the interview. As the Duchess of Sussex confirms to Oprah Winfrey, Kate made her cry over an issue related to the choice of dresses that her pages were going to wear at her wedding. A few months later, however, the British press published the opposite: that it was Meghan who had made her sister-in-law cry.
For the Duchess of Sussex, that was the moment when she understood that Buckingham was not going to protect her because everyone in the palace “knew it was a lie” and yet no one did anything to deny her information. “The narrative that I made Kate cry was the beginning of the murder of a royal figure,” explained Meghan Markle, who has nevertheless been full of praise when she has spoken of Queen Elizabeth II. She “was always lovely to me.”
Prince Harry, for his part, has expanded when talking about the current state of his relationship with his brother and his father. “The relationship is on pause at the moment. "Time heals everything, hopefully," he declared about Prince William, of whom he also assured that, although he loves him very much because he is his brother and they went through the "hell" of losing their mother together, they find each other. on different paths."
The relationship that exists at this moment with Prince Charles seems worse, and Harry regrets not having received support from him even though during his marriage to Princess Diana, he lived a similar experience.
“He knows how much this hurts and Archie is his grandson… I will always love him, but there is a lot of pain over what happened,” Prince Harry said after revealing that his father stopped answering his phone when he decided to move with Meghan to Canada. He then clarified that they had been talking lately.
"My father and brother are trapped. They can't leave and I have enormous compassion for them for that," the Duke of Sussex has also said about the conventions of palace life. Some conventions by which he has confessed that he also felt trapped and was only able to free himself after meeting Meghan. "He couldn't see the way out. He was trapped but I didn't know he was trapped."
