The aftershocks of the explosive Oprah Winfrey interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are being felt days after.
In the United States, more than 17 million people watched the two-hour special on CBS. That’s the largest audience for a non-sports program since the Academy Awards more than 13 months ago.
Here’s just a few of the things being said about Meghan and Harry:
Buckingham Palace has not made a statement concerning the interview. An insider said Queen Elizabeth is “reeling” from the accusations thrown at her family by one of their own. The Royals are “paralyzed with horror and dismay.” (The Sun, UK)
Royal photographer Arthur Edwards watched Harry grow up. He said on Monday, (quote) “Meghan came along and then things start to fall apart. Since Meghan came along, he’s been unbelievably miserable.” (Fox News)
Meghan Markle’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, responded to the interview. She told Inside Edition, (quote) “The truth was totally ignored and omitted. I don’t know how Meghan can say, ‘I don’t know her.’ We’ve got photographs over a lifespan of us together.”
Samantha Markle also spoke with an Australian radio show, Fifi, Fev and Nick. She accused Meghan of having a “narcissistic personality disorder.” As for Prince Harry, the estranged half-sister thinks he’s the victim of Stockholm syndrome. (New York Post)
Royal expert Katie Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight, (quote) “Prince William is devastated by this interview. Don’t forget that his wife, Kate Middleton, is being dragged into this whole saga and William will hate that.”
For International Women’s Day, Kate Middleton put on a brave face and made a public appearance. She did not say a word about the Oprah interview. Instead, she stayed focused on the accomplishment of the youngest woman to row a boat by herself across the Atlantic Ocean. (E! News)
Now that the world has watched Meghan Markle speak her truth, she “finally feels at peace. She is very proud of Harry for also speaking out.” (E! News)
