If you watched the Oprah interview with Meghan and Harry, you know that they make a lot of shocking statements. For example, Meghan revealed that she was suicidal at one point, and Harry revealed that his family has cut him off and at one point his father, Prince Charles, stopped taking his calls.
Those things are shocking, but that’s not all. Both Meghan and Harry described life as senior members of the royal family as being “trapped.” Harry said that he didn’t realize he was trapped until he met Meghan, but now he knows that his father and his brother are trapped too.
This does not make the royal family look good. It completely destroys the fairytale of becoming a princess and living happily ever after as a royal. Meghan even compared herself to Ariel in the “The Little Mermaid” who lost her voice when she fell in love with the prince.
Harry and Meghan say that they are happy now living in Santa Barbara, California, but their interview with Oprah certainly did not make the royal family happy. The couple was careful to portray the Queen and Prince Philip, Harry’s grandparents, in a good light, but Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton didn’t look so good after the interview.
CNN’s Richard Quest even goes so far as to describe Meghan and Harry’s interview as “devastating” for the British royal family. In the video below, hear more about the bombshells dropped during the interview and how damaging they will most likely be for the royal family.
If you watched Oprah’s interview with Harry and Meghan, did their open comments change your view of the royal family? Do you think their comments were “devastating”? Do you think the royal family will be able to recover from this interview? Do you think Harry will ever be able to heal his relationship with his father after this interview?
