All the revelations to remember from the interview with Meghan and Harry
On the evening of March 7, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry spoke for two hours at the microphone of Oprah Winfrey in an interview against the British royal family. Two hours during which the couple chained the shocking revelations, and evoked the underside of their daily life within the Crown.
This interview was as expected as it was feared by the royal family. This Sunday, March 7, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave a shocking interview to American television star Oprah Winfrey. Delivering on the reasons why he decided to leave the royal family, the Sussex couple made many revelations about the reception of Meghan Markle within the British Crown.
Meghan Markle had suicidal thoughts
“I just didn't want to be alive anymore. And those were constant, terrifying, real and very clear thoughts, ”the Duchess of Sussex told presenter Oprah Winfrey during the CBS interview. According to the Duchess, her psychological state was partly due to the incessant attacks by the British media on her. She also claims to have received no support from the royal institution when she asked them for help, and raised the possibility of medical care. "I was told that I could not, that it would not be good for the institution," she added.
Kate Middleton would have made Meghan Markle cry, not the other way around
The possible rivalry between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton has caused a lot of scandal. If Kensington Palace feared the Duchess of Sussex would bring up their relationship, it was right. In the interview, the latter accuses her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, of having made her cry. Contrary to what had been reported by the British press, which revealed the opposite: that the wife of Prince William had burst into tears during the dress fittings for the wedding of Meghan Markle and Harry. In question, the pressure inflicted by the actress of Suits. Meghan Markle therefore wanted to rectify what had been said, and nevertheless clarified that Kate Middleton had apologized shortly after this incident, which occurred before her wedding, in 2018.
The Sussex couple had already said "yes" before the official ceremony
Meghan Markle announced that as the world attended her wedding with great fanfare, the couple had actually been married for three days already. "Nobody knows," said Meghan who revealed that this union had been sealed between Harry and her by the Archbishop of Canterbury and without witnesses. "We told him: 'Listen to this whole show, it's for the people, but we want something that belongs to us," "revealed the actress.
Archie's skin color was cause for concern for the monarchy
“There have been concerns and conversations about how dark his skin would be when he was born. And what that would mean or what it would look like, ”revealed Meghan Markle, without saying which member of the Crown could have made such remarks. A statement that makes a lot of noise, and which shocked Oprah Winfrey, chaining silences and bewildered looks.
"It was strange," Harry replied of this conversation, also refusing to reveal who was behind it. "I was in shock," he simply added. As Le Monde reminds us, accusations of racism are probably among those that the British royal family fear the most, "having at heart to appear modern". After these revelations, their concerns are well founded.
Prince Charles has stopped taking his son's calls
Prince Harry has been blunt about how the 'Megxit' has affected his relationship with his father, Prince Charles. Harry affirms on this occasion not to have taken his grandmother by surprise. According to Archie's dad, they would have had three phone conversations, and he would also have exchanged with his father before he decided to stop answering him altogether.
"Did you just say your father stopped taking your calls?" Why ? Insisted Oprah Winfrey. To which the prince replied: “Because I took matters into my own hands. I told myself I had to do this for my family. This is no surprise to anyone. Prince Harry would later claim that his father, and his older brother, Prince William, are "prisoners of the system" of the monarchy. Words that shake the entire British Crown, which for its part, could have difficulty recovering.
