I am glad Harry and Meghan are safe. I pray for their safety because the family seems unhinged. I shed a few tears when they said that Archie tells people to drive safe, along with the fact that Harry said he was afraid history would repeat itself. They are both brave for speaking out. Diana would be proud of her baby for being a reformed, changed man who would risk everything for the ones that he loves and that’s all that matters. You can’t fault Harry for wanting to be a man who protects his family.
The British media is toxic. The “institution” is toxic. The comments in this section are toxic. The exact reason they bailed... amazing how it can anger so many people watching them create their own happiness. Misery loves company. Glad to see she was able to speak about mental health especially during pregnancy on a global platform. Bravo to Harry as well. Lot of lessons to take away from this.
They've done what every other married couple in the world has done. They've grown up, left home and taken charge and responsibility for themselves and their own family. Granted, it was a far different process for them than others, but they've done it.
Yet there are already 2 Children of Mixed Race in the Royal Family, Gary Lewis a Maori Lad Married Lady Davina Windsor in July 2004, they have 2 Children.... Nothing has ever been mentioned in the Media, or otherwise about how so called Dark their Skin is...... think shes spouting B S ...
This was sad to watch. Really happy you walked out. Enjoy your new life and wish you all the best.
Why would anyone with a brain believe what these two say as fact. Harry should be ashamed of himself for throwing his royal family under the bus.
Considering she’s an actress and her job is literally to lie and deceive she’s not particularly good at it on this occasion.
Look at all the people turning on the Queen of England after hearing an actress who has had but a brief stint within that environment after another woman, The Queen, gave her entire life to guiding our countries. Disgusting.
In a country of brown skin people India there are in-laws who are worried how light or dark brown the grandkid will be, every family has drama, conversations and evil members !! She is smearing so much dirt over the Royals but forgot that when her own father declined to attend her wedding it was Charles her father-in-law who walked her down the aisle , they embraced her , respected and showed love to her. She chose to marry a Prince and if she can’t deal with the nuances of being a royal member then just live the life you chose in U.S
She knew how to play the audience. Hand on tummy try and look innocent with bambi eyes and to put the seal on it bring out the race card. If it's true they wanted out they got out wanted privacy but go on Oprah and throw fuel on the fire. So how's that wanting privacy? They know the Palace won't come back at them publicly and they have sealed their fate. Good acting from meghan and Harry looked very uncomfortable.
I knew it had to be something serious and devastating to make Harry flee with his family. No title and protection for his children and then their skin complexion was a concern. Mercy.
I don't believe her, Megan is manipulative, opportunistic and loves the spotlight. She is always acting.
Well then renounce your titles and live a private life. Please. Seems like those two dont know want they want. Stay a royal couple with all the privileges and at the same time stab their own families in the back at a time when prince philip is seriously I'll. Disgusting.
She really said this? 😲 She claims to be intelligent and worked on diplomatic affairs on behalf of the US government before and so many charities she said and doesn’t have a clue about curtsy? “She says she was naive when she joined the family, and was surprised when she was asked to curtsy when she met the Queen”
At one point I cried 😢 it Is a toxic institution! As someone who suffers from depression I know how it is to feel like you can’t breathe 😢! Weird that it looks exactly like what we see in movies! I re watched titanic today and saw how Roses mom was treating her just for her to fit in, it’s Bad bad! I am glad they chose to leave for their own sanity!
I don’t see what they gain by doing this interview. If so scared for their security why not stay out of the headlines. Plus they kept saying they have the upmost respect for the queen, then why do this interview it’s only gonna bring bad press and blood. Poor Harry looked so Uncomfortable .
Archie is gorgeous, his sister will be just as beautiful, wishing Harry, his bride and their offspring a wonderful life ahead!
In my opinion, my opinion. Before you said I do, you knew what you were getting into. You knew what this family was all about. You knew that they had certain rules that they followed. You knew you liked your freedom. Knowing all of this, I would ask myself is this a life I can live with. He said she said. Her side, the royal side, and the truth. Only God knows the real truth.
There are two sides to every story and this is only Harry and Meghan’s version of events. Just because the royal family has not weighed in doesn’t mean they are guilty of anything. Perhaps they choose to not dignify the accusations with a response. It amazes me how people automatically believe the d-list actress who continually seeks the limelight while simultaneously claiming to want privacy.
Astonishingly poor taste and judgement to do this, seriously. I don’t think this helps their image.
And there it is ! All the lies with the racism card thrown in for good measure. 1. They refused a title for Archie. It wasn't the other way round. 2. He talks about his bad relationship with his father - the man who continued to fund him for the first year of his life in America. Then complains that they had to take Netflix deals because his family had cut him off financially and he had to pay for their security ! Those perks came with the job - you resigned. 3. Again she plays the racism card , because that means she will have the support of every black American. There may have been talk about what colour future children may be , but I doubt if it involved the royal family. Dont say that it happened then go all coy and say " I don't want to damage the person by naming them ". You don't want to name them because they would sue you - and you know all about suing relatives don't you Meghan.
This was appalling. So happy to see them thriving and living in Peace.
I am stunned at the venom of Harry and Meghan towards the royal family, they must harbour extreme anger towards Harry’s family to do what they have done. Harry said they are very happy with their new life what did they want to achieve with this hatchet job. The Queen is 96 she deserves better than this
My opinion for what is worth...You shouldn't marry a Prince if you're not prepared to follow his royal family rules and their traditions etc. Bored of the whole story now. This has to stop, leave Prince Harry alone. I have enough read about Prince Harry news & feels sorry for him
The "Firm" should have paid more attention to Dandy Andy since he liked to hang with Epstein. Meghan and Harry live your lives in peace.
Camilla is the cause of this. She has a history of sowing discord in the family.
Meghan Markle has done more to end the British Monarchy than George Washington ever did. #spilledtea 🤭
At first I was thinking it was the Queen wondering how dark Archie would be, then I remembered she said the Queen has been nothing but good to her, so I'm saying maybe it was Charles and Camilla, Harry said his father stop taking answering his call!!
OMG can the media stop talking about these two....
She's not that dark skined. She needs to quit that race card.....
Diana would be horrified at the treatment these two have inflicted on William. Shame on the two of them.
I can't understand why the media are giving these two clearly mentally unwell people airtime. Playing to their delusions will only make them more unstable.
His mother would be very proud of him and Meghan.
they are both jealous of the beautiful Kate and handsome William who will be Queen and King some day, while these two will still be jealous, phony, publicity hounds
I’m confused. If they were worried about dark skin why would the queen even allow the marriage? She could have stopped it all way earlier.
Bravo Meghan on that interview she's going to win an Oscar for that 😂😂
When they started out on life's journey together they were going to save the world together. Now after show biz deals worth more than $100 million they are complaining about how unfair life is on national TV.
Using the race card to get sympathy. And I thought she wanted peace and privacy. Now she's speaking everywhere. Lmao!
I love how people think racism is ok. They where talking about an innocent unborn child. And that's ok with some people because that's part of the "rules and protocols" of the establishment? Where in the "rules and protocols" does it say that staffers should be concerned about how dark a child's skin color should be? Funny how those bullying claims against Meghan came out last week. Those staffers where actually bullying Meghan and an unborn child! Not the other way round!😡
Kate made her cry. Those tabloids and those who lied at BP are horrible. Dark skin really. Meghan and Harry no matter what comes in tabloids or from BP they cannot change my views - glad I always supported u. Racism is real### People believe tabloids that go the palace for parties etc so they will decide how they report whether favourable or not. Meghan and Harry u exposed it all. The world as heard that racism.is alive and well at BP and with some sections of the press!
Answer me this: If the royals did not care about her skin color, why would they be concerned with Archie's Color?
The result of this farce should be the stripping of their titles and no public forums moving forward. God Save the Queen. 🇨🇦
I thought they were both very respectful.
I don't care what they say ,they should have never stopped security for Prince Harry .
If they were worried about the colour of Archies skin, they wouldn’t of had a Royal wedding.
BBC yet again soft-peddling the rampant racism in britain. They asked Harry 'What color will the baby be' - REPEATEDLY!?! not 'concerned about how dark he might be'. It's sickening how far you'll bend over backwards to ignore how ugly the treatment of Meghan has been.
This baby will be so beautiful than perhaps all other beauties in the Palace. Stewwww rest it for the sake of God, about this color thing.
Two sides to every story
Oh bore off please, "privacy" ?
Did they discuss her family and them perpetuating falsehoods about her character?
If it was such a genuine issue the wouldn’t of been allowed to marry. Truth is she didn’t want to conform to a life of duty and as she said she had no voice. She likes to be heard and colour had nothing to do with why she r as n away she wasn’t able to adapt to a life of servitude. She prefers to be the one giving orders. Everyone was excited about Archies birth she was the one who didn’t want to show him off to the world. We are in the UK we have many mixed race families and sadly it was obvious she’d use this as the excuse and it couldn’t be further from the truth. Never has someone been made to feel more welcome and part of a family. She used this excuse as her get out card she wanted the high profile wedding but not the duty of being a royal.
That baby was always going to look white. 25% black. Meghan can pass as white herself.
Why wasn't this much media coverage given to Prince Andrew?
I watched this interview and it was wonderful! Meghan was honest, yet extremely respectful and tactful towards EVERYONE in The Firm. There were several times that both Meghan AND Harry could have told things that would have been damaging to the royal family, and they refused to answer. That showed a lot more compassion than the British press and even other members of the royal family ever showed them! I have an entirely new respect for her, Harry and their growing family! ❤️
This is a huge accusation!!! She’d better be willing to back it up with proof and a name!!!!
Not a good actress, she could practice more.
I would bet money it was Prince Charles who said this.
Leverage the public outrage and playing the race card. What happen to the late King Edward? The crown is public not some private matter where titles and money can be given away willy-nilly. #dutytothecrown
She knew what she was choosing to marry into. The public loved her and was happy for Harry but now she’s morphed into a whinging sack of everyone feel sorry for me!! She’s using Harry’s insecurities over the death of his mother & his fears of of something like that happening again against him, she has manipulated this situation to her own benefit, alienated her husband from his family that he had always been so close to and is now still bloody complaining 🤷🏼♀️. She needs to grow up, you can’t always have your cake and eat it
