More than a year after Prince Harry and Megan Merkel left the British royal family and the kingdom, the couple gave an interview tonight (light for Monday) to Oprah Winfrey's show on CBS, in which they explained the breakup and blamed the royal family for the big rift, which resonates The experiences of Harry's mother, Diana in the 1990s.

During the two-hour interview, the two attacked the treatment they received at the royal palace and Harry's family, accusing them of silence in the face of the racism directed, they say, at Merkel in the British press due to her African-American origins. 

Merkel was the first to speak to the presenter, making it clear that the interview was not conducted for a fee.

She then began to tell her story, claiming that relations with the media in the UK began to deteriorate after an article stared at her claiming she had caused her sister-in-law, Duchess Kate Middleton, to cry and denied it.

"She was the one who made me cry," Merkel claimed, adding, "I was hoping Kate would want the truth presented but I was silenced instead. Not only were they not defending me, the monarchy was willing to lie to protect others."

"They did not want Archie to be a prince because they were afraid he would be dark-skinned"

Merkel went on to attack the royal institution, accusing the palace people of not wanting her son to build with Harry, Archie, be crowned prince or receive security.

"There were fears that his skin would be dark," she explained, but did not dismiss who raised the concerns.

"I lost the desire to live because of the situation, I begged for help and said I was worried about my mental health, but no one helped," she continued, claiming she had suicidal thoughts at the time in the palace.

Prince Harry did not spare things from the royal family either, nor from his father - Prince Charles.

Harry likened the situation to the complicated relationship between his father and mother Princess Diana who was killed in a car accident, saying: "My fear is that history will repeat itself, but in a more dangerous way, as racism is also involved here.

"We asked for help, but we did not get it," the prince continued, "we left because there was no understanding or support in the royal house."

During the interview, the prince described the complicated relationship with his father.

"He stopped answering calls from me at some point, although today we talk," he said, adding, "I was disappointed in him."

"Megan saved me, I was trapped without knowing it"

Harry even said that Merkel saved him by keeping him away from the royal family.

"I was trapped without knowing it, I would not have gotten away without her," he said, "I was trapped like my father and brother, Megan saved me," the prince concluded.

Earlier it was reported that Queen Elizabeth II would not watch the interview.

Precisely towards her both Megan and Harry expressed their appreciation, and the prince even said: "I have never acted behind her back, I respect her", and Merkel added: "The queen made me feel wanted".
