Interview with Meghan Markle and Harry: the 5 explosive revelations for the Crown
Meghan and Harry's big interview aired on CBS this Sunday, March 7. The couple chained the explosive revelations on their life and on the crown. We give you the summary in 5 points.
It was an event. This Sunday, March 7, the American channel CBS broadcast a great exclusive interview with Meghan Markle and Harry in front of their friend, the dreaded Oprah Winfrey. For weeks, clips had been leaked on TV and social media promising incredible revelations, and viewers were not disappointed. On CBS, the Sussexes have emptied their bag.
The Queen's entourage seemed worried about the content of the interview ... Meghan and Harry played fair, perhaps a little too much, but nevertheless took care to spare the Queen. The one who invested in a latte company responded to rumors about Kate Middleton, Prince Harry did not hesitate to say "disappointed" with his father and that his brother was "a prisoner of the system". Archie's mother, currently pregnant with a baby girl, even claimed to have had suicidal thoughts and that the royal family refused to see a specialist. For you, Gala.fr provides a 5-point summary of the interview.
1/ They got married in secret
On May 19, 2018, cameras around the world were on St George's Chapel in Windsor for Meghan and Harry's wedding. A grandiose union with an audience of stars, but which was only a staging? The couple revealed to Oprah Winfrey that they were secretly married three days before their royal wedding. “Nobody knew that,” confirmed Meghan Markle, who preferred to exchange vows in a private setting rather than in front of millions of people.
2 / Archie would have been the victim of racism
Last August, in full promotion of his book Finding Freedom which talks about Meghan and Harry, journalist Omid Scobie assured that the Duchess of Sussex was a victim of racism from the Queen's collaborators. And little Archie, almost two years old, also suffered from this racism. Meghan Markle said that Prince Harry had witnessed "conversations" about the baby's skin color, within the palace, and that, long before his birth. However, Kate Middleton's sister-in-law declined to say who the conversations were with, saying it would be "very damaging" to them, but said it had happened on several occasions.
Asked this Monday, March 8, in the morning, Oprah Winfrey, however, clarified that these revelations did not concern Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip. "[Harry] didn't tell me who it was, but he insisted that the comments were not made by either his grandmother or his grandfather," said host on CBS This Morning. And the queen of the talk show concludes on the subject: "He did not tell me who had participated in these discussions."
3 / Meghan and Harry are expecting a little girl
On February 14, Meghan and Harry announced that they were expecting their second child. A symbolic date and for good reason, Lady Di had announced that she was pregnant with Harry on February 14. Still, the Sussexes had not mentioned the sex of their future baby. It was Oprah Winfrey who had the first announcement: they will welcome a little girl this summer. The King's Choice.
4 / Prince Harry is disappointed with his father
Harry obviously opened up about his relationship with his father, Prince Charles, saying he felt "abandoned" and had done "a lot of harm" to him. William's brother says his father has "been through something similar" with Diana, so he knows what the pain is like. Reason why he has trouble digesting everything that has happened vis-à-vis Meghan. Despite the resentments, Harry still has a place in his heart for Prince Charles. Indeed, he said he would always love her, even though he has stopped taking her calls since he stepped down from royal duties.
Another detail and not the least, Harry regretted that his family had cut him off and that his new life with Meghan was financed only thanks to his inheritance from Princess Diana. Now financially independent, the Sussexes can count on partnerships or contracts with Netflix or Spotify to meet their needs.
5 / Meghan had suicidal thoughts
Meghan and Harry are heavily invested in the fight against mental health, like Kate and William, so the words of the actress seen in Suits are very appealing. Indeed, the young woman who found herself at the heart of a controversy because of earrings admitted that she had had suicidal thoughts while she was a member of the royal family. "I didn't want to be alive anymore," she told Oprah Winfrey. And that she confirms having thought of self-harm and suicide.
This is not all since Meghan Markle claims to have asked the palace to consult a professional. Something that was denied to him.
