It's already the TV highlight of the year: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave Oprah Winfrey an interview.
A summary of the most explosive moments.
Los Angeles - The interview with Meghan Markle (39) and Prince Harry (36) met with great interest worldwide.
In a two-hour recording of the conversation with US talk show host Oprah Winfrey (67), the ex-royals spoke to the American broadcaster
CBS
about what was going on in their eyes behind the thick walls of the British royal family.
Accusations of racism, suicidal thoughts and rumors of a quarrel with sister-in-law Kate are just a few of the many touched topics on which the couple commented.
Meghan and Harry in an interview with Oprah Winfrey: Most important statements about the wedding and children
Meghan's first meeting with Queen Elizabeth II went off without any major formalities.
There was a spontaneous get-together in Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's garden.
However, she helped her out when she did not know that one would have to curtsy to the queen in private.
Before marrying into the British royal family, she did not know much about the royals and their lives, according to the Duchess.
That is why she started her new phase of life with a certain naivety, which was apparently so different from her previous life as an autonomous actress.
Harry and Meghan revealed the gender of their second child: they are going to have a girl!
So your son Archie becomes the brother of a little sister.
"To have a boy and a girl, what more could you want?" Harry finally commented.
Family planning should then be completed with the second child.
The Duchess of Sussex and her husband were married before their big wedding on March 4, 2018.
The couple said yes three days earlier - in camera.
Explosive interview from Harry and Meghan: allegations and corrections
During the preparations for the big wedding celebration, the story circulated back then that Meghan had made her sister-in-law Kate cry.
The former US actress rejected this: "The opposite was the case." Allegedly, Kate was upset about the bridesmaid dress for one of her daughters.
That in turn would have hurt Meghan, whereupon she burst into tears.
After that, however, both would have made up again after Kate thanked her sister-in-law with flowers.
Meghan didn't have a bad word to say about her: She is a "good person".
Meghan and Harry raised serious allegations against members of the royal family, whose names they did not want to mention in this context: While Meghan, whose mother is African American, was pregnant with Archie, the family is said to have been concerned about the skin color of the current seventh heir to the throne .
Specifically, it was about "how dark his skin would be when he was born".
It should have been considered to deny Archie the prince title.
Baby Archie was born in May 2019.
At the time, there was speculation as to whether the couple, like Diana and Kate before, would be photographed with their newborn son in front of the hospital.
When there were no photos, it was presented to the outside world as if their privacy was more important to the two.
Now, however, Meghan claims that they have been banned from taking such a photo.
The Duchess of Sussex suffered increasingly from depression due to negative coverage in the British media.
She even struggled with suicidal thoughts during this difficult time.
“I just didn't want to stay alive anymore.
That was a very clear and real and scary thought, "revealed the 39-year-old with tears.
When she turned to a senior royal with her mental problems and asked for professional help, his reaction was like a slap in the face: Meghan could not get support because "that is not good for the institution".
Harry was deeply disappointed in his father, Prince Charles.
Above all, he had hoped for support in protecting his wife.
Like his mother, Princess Diana, she suffered from the British press.
Diana has been followed by the media since her wedding and died in a tragic car accident when her car was chased by a paparazzi.
“He went through something similar.
He knows what pain feels like, ”Harry said of his father.
Nevertheless, he assured that he would love him forever.
Even with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth's favorite grandson still gets along well despite the megxit and many quarrels: “My grandmother and I have a very, very good relationship.
And I have a lot of respect for her.
She is my Colonel of Honor.
It will always be. "

Meghan and Harry: They have been going their separate ways with the royal family since Megxit
Great Britain has turned their backs on the two for almost a year and now live together in the USA. The reason for their megxit was the lack of support from the palace. When they first took a break in Canada, Prince Charles stopped responding to calls from his youngest son. Then he took matters into his own hands. He did that for his mental health. (
