Elizabeth II's response to Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey
In a statement, the queen has said that she will address all of Meghan and Harry's allegations in private, and has shown her affection as a grandmother.
After the controversial interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry with Oprah Winfrey, everyone expected the reaction of Buckingham Palace and with what words Elizabeth II would pronounce about the accusations of racism towards the institution and the lack of support that Meghan Markle suffered when He confessed that he needed help to regain his mental health.
The answer has come in the form of a statement. "The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," she begins by saying the letter issued by Buckingham Palace. "The issues raised, particularly race, are troubling. While some memories may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed in private by the family."
The statement ends by saying: "Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be very dear family members." With these words Elizabeth II makes it clear that in no case have the statements of Meghan and Harry fallen on deaf ears and she shows them her interest in clarifying everything that happened. Of course, she will do it privately and trying not to further damage the institution, since the words of the Dukes of Sussex have shown that life if you are part of The Firm is not as idyllic as it might seem.
Elizabeth II closes the statement by appealing to her role as grandmother, making it clear that regardless of the official decisions of Meghan and Harry, they are still her grandchildren and great-grandchild and are united by a relationship of affection that, according to the dukes, Sussex, has never been broken. Both referred to the monarch with kind and caring words, unlike Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton, who do not fare so well after the confessions of Meghan and Harry.
