It was about racism, suicidal ideation and breaking off contact with the family.

Little by little, more, previously unsent, clips of the conversation with Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry are now being published on the talker Oprah Winfrey's website.

The latest is about privacy.

Everyone, including a royal, has a right to privacy, Meghan says with regard to reporting on her and her family.

However, Winfrey is initially critical.

“Shouldn't one have assumed that one would lose privacy [by joining this family]?

That's part of the deal, ”she says.

Meghan replies, adding an example: “When you have a photo of your child on your desk at work and a colleague says: 'Oh, your child is so cute, That's great!

Can I see your cell phone to look at

all of

your child's photos? ‹.

Then one would probably answer: ›No, this is the picture I would like to share with you.‹ «

In the world in which she lives, that wouldn't be enough, says Meghan.

Instead, the fictional colleague would add more and say, “Well, you showed me this one picture, so now you have to show me everything.

I'll hire someone to sit in front of your house or hide in the bushes to take photos in your garden - because you lost your right to privacy after you shared a picture with me. "

As absurd as it sounds, this is exactly the assumption that applies to celebrities and the royal family.

And that is completely wrong.

“It's about borders,” Meghan said.

“Nobody on Instagram would say, 'Because I shared this one picture, you can now look through my entire photo collection.' Nobody would want that.

In the interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry again pointed out the parallels between the situation of his nuclear family and that of his mother Diana.

Princess Diana was besieged by paparazzi every day and eventually died in a car accident while chasing the photographers.
