Chrissy Teigen looking at 'Meghan Markle-like' interview with Oprah Winfrey to tell her side of the story amid bullying allegations

<p>After years of criticising&nbsp;his daughter Meghan Markle, Thomas Markle seems to have shifted his focus to Oprah Winfrey.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Duchess of Sussex`s father recently appeared on Australia`s `60 Minutes` show and stated he and Prince Charles had one thing in common - both were ghosted by Harry and Meghan. His harshest criticism, though, was reserved for Oprah.<br />
<br />
Targeting Oprah for her recent mental health docuseries `The Me You Can`t See` where she collaborated with Prince Harry, Thomas said the American host took advantage of a "weakened" Prince Harry to build her own network.<br />
<br />
He said, "I have things to say. Oprah Winfrey, for one, I think is playing Harry and Meghan. I think she is using them to build her network and build her new shows and I think she`s taken advantage of a very weakened man and has got him to say things that you just shouldn`t be saying on television."<br />
<br />
Oprah owns a cable channel named `OWN` that is jointly owned by Discovery Inc. She also owns the Harpo Studios that launched on January 1, 2011, replacing the Discovery Health Channel.However, her interview with Meghan and Harry got massive attention as compared to her previous interviews.<br />
<br />
"She (Oprah) will disagree of course, and she may even sue me. I don`t care. But, the bottom line is she is working with Harry," Thomas further added. He also revealed that he learned of the birth of her new granddaughter Lilibet from the couple's public statement, and he found that disappointing.<br />
<br />
He said, "I see them both ghosting their families completely and now they are alone in a huge house where they can probably accommodate 20 people in but it`s just the 4 of them. I don`t think they are going to have relatives over for a barbeque next week or next month."<br />
<br />
Coming back to Oprah Winfrey`s talk show, the 67-year-old host has worked with Prince Harry quite a bit lately, first by interviewing him and Meghan for their bombshell, tell-all interview which included claims of racism and allegedly turning a blind eye to mental health needs against the royal family.</p>

<p>Most recently, Oprah produced `The Me You Can`t See` with Harry, a miniseries on Apple TV+ about mental health in which the royal made more bold claims about his family and his past struggles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meghan Markle and Prince Harry became parents for the second time with a daughter and her name has been embroiled in a controversy after the couple decided for her to have both names of reigning UK Queen and Harry’s late mother.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Their daughter is called Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. She is the Queen’s 11th great-grandchild and is eighth in line to the throne. Her middle name was chosen to honour her late grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales while Lilibet is Queen’s childhood nickname.&nbsp;</p>

Meghan-Harry's baby Lili features for the first time in mother's children's book

<p>Prince Edward gave quite a witty response when asked about his nephew Prince Harry and Meghan Markle`s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey that saw the couple put the British royal family on blast.<br />
<br />
According to Fox News, the Earl of Wessex and his wife, Sophie Wessex, recently participated in a Q&amp;A with a local news outlet, where they were asked whether they watched the Sussexes two-hour sit-down that aired on March 7."Oprah who?" Edward quipped. His wife then followed suit, humorously responding, "Yes, what interview?"<br />
<br />
Rather than discuss the family tensions directly, the Earl and Countess of Wessex hinted at the headway the royal family members are making since the CBS special aired.<br />
<br />
Edward revealed that it was "nice" to have a "lengthy chat" with Harry when the duke traveled to the UK from his home base in California to attend Prince Philip`s funeral.<br />
<br />
During the CBS special, Harry revealed that his relationships with William and their father Prince Charles have ruptured. He detailed how family divisions prompted the couple to step away from royal duties.<br />
<br />
Markle described feeling so isolated and miserable inside the royal family that she had suicidal thoughts. The former American actor also said that a member of the family had "concerns" about the color of her unborn child`s skin. The family member was not Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip, according to Harry, sparking a flurry of speculation about who it could be.<br />
<br />
The former `Suits` star also addressed a story that was previously reported, alleging that she made Middleton cry ahead of her May 2018 royal wedding to Harry over a wardrobe disagreement. Markle informed the media mogul that "the reverse happened" but clarified that the disagreement was quickly squashed.She explained, "It made me cry and it really hurt my feelings. And I thought in the context of everything else that was going on in those days leading to the wedding that it didn`t make sense to not be just doing whatever everyone else was doing, which was trying to be supportive."However, Markle noted that the alleged feud that made for such media fodder ended almost as quickly as it began thanks to an apology from Middleton.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thirty-six hours after the comments aired, the palace issued a written statement in the name of the queen, Harry`s grandmother.The statement read, "The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

The couple`s departure from royal duties began in March 2020 over what they described as the intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media towards the duchess.

Prince Edward gave quite a witty response when asked about his nephew Prince Harry and Meghan Markle`s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey that saw the couple put the British royal family on blast. According to Fox News, the Earl of Wessex and his wife, Sophie Wessex, recently participated in a Q&A with a local news outlet, where they were asked whether they watched the Sussexes two-hour sit-down that aired on March 7."Oprah who?" Edward quipped. His wife then followed suit, humorously responding, "Yes, what interview?" Rather than discuss the family tensions directly, the Earl and Countess of Wessex hinted at the headway the royal family members are making since the CBS special aired. Edward revealed that it was "nice" to have a "lengthy chat" with Harry when the duke traveled to the UK from his home base in California to attend Prince Philip`s funeral. During the CBS special, Harry revealed that his relationships with William and their father Prince Charles have ruptured. He detailed how family divisions prompted the couple to step away from royal duties. Markle described feeling so isolated and miserable inside the royal family that she had suicidal thoughts. The former American actor also said that a member of the family had "concerns" about the color of her unborn child`s skin. The family member was not Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip, according to Harry, sparking a flurry of speculation about who it could be. The former `Suits` star also addressed a story that was previously reported, alleging that she made Middleton cry ahead of her May 2018 royal wedding to Harry over a wardrobe disagreement. Markle informed the media mogul that "the reverse happened" but clarified that the disagreement was quickly squashed.She explained, "It made me cry and it really hurt my feelings. And I thought in the context of everything else that was going on in those days leading to the wedding that it didn`t make sense to not be just doing whatever everyone else was doing, which was trying to be supportive."However, Markle noted that the alleged feud that made for such media fodder ended almost as quickly as it began thanks to an apology from Middleton.

<p>Reigniting the debate over the British royal family and race, newly discovered documents, tell how until at least the 1960’s “coloured immigrants or foreigners” were banned from serving in clerical roles in the royal household.</p>

<p>Another major revelation done by these documents shed light on how controversial clauses are negotiated by Buckingham palace.

<p>These papers discovered at the National Archives as part of an ongoing investigation by the Guardian.</p>

<p>The papers reveal how in 1968, the then Queen’s chief financial manager informed civil servants that, although they were permitted to work as domestic servants “it was not, in fact, the practice to appoint coloured immigrants or foreigners” to clerical roles in the royal household.</p>

<p>It is still unclear when the practice ended, as Buckingham Palace has refused to answer questions about the ban and when it was revoked. Instead, Buckingham palace claims that before the 1990s they didn’t keep records of their employees’ racial backgrounds. Palace records from the 1990s show that people from ethnic minority backgrounds were employed at the palace in that decade.</p>

<p><strong>Special Exemptions</strong></p>

<p>While laws seeking to make illegal any discrimination on the grounds of race or ethnicity while hiring an employee, were sought to be introduced by government ministers in the 1960s, the queen has remained personally exempted from the equality laws for more than four decades.</p>

Newly discovered document sheds light on racist practices at Buckingham Palace

<p>In a new documentary series set for release Friday Prince Harry is once again emphasizing that his family turned a blind eye to the struggles of his wife Meghan Markle, saying he will "never be bullied into silence."</p>

<p>The series comes out a day after the release of an independent inquiry in Britain that found that a BBC journalist used falsified documents to land a sensational 1995 sit-down with Princess Diana, the mother of Harry and his elder brother William, in which she detailed her troubled marriage to Prince Charles.</p>

In new docuseries, Prince Harry again insists his family lacks empathy

<p>From the sound of horses` hooves on the day of Princess Diana's funeral to chases by paparazzi when he was a child in the back of a car, Prince Harry is still haunted by the trauma of losing his mother.<br />
<br />
Speaking in detail of how he failed to deal with her loss for more than a decade, Harry says in a new TV documentary series that the fear of also losing his wife Meghan was one of the main reasons the couple quit their royal duties and moved to California last year.<br />
<br />
"My mother was chased to her death when she was in a relationship with someone who wasn`t white, and now look what`s happened. You`re talking about history repeating itself? They`re not going to stop until she dies," Harry says in the mental health documentary series "The Me You Can`t See."<br />
"It`s incredibly triggering to potentially lose another woman in my life," he added, referring to Meghan. The "Me You Can`t See" series, which Harry produced with U.S. talk show host Oprah Winfrey, is released on Apple TV+ on Friday.</p>

Princess Diana died in 1997 at age 36 in a crash in Paris after the car in which she was travelling with her Egyptian-born boyfriend Dodi Fayed was chased by paparazzi. Harry was 12 at the time.&nbsp;<br />

Harry, whose American wife Meghan is bi-racial, spoke of racist reporting in the mainstream British press about his wife, as well as abuse on social media. Meghan has said her experience in Britain drove her to thoughts of suicide when she was pregnant with their first son Archie.<br />

In the documentary, Harry spoke of walking behind Diana`s coffin through the streets of London with his brother William, father Prince Charles and uncle Charles Spencer. "The thing I remember most was the sound of the horses` hooves going along the Mall," he said.

Harry said he started serious therapy almost five years ago when he met Meghan. "I quickly established that if this relationship was going to work, I had to deal with my past," he said. The couple married in May 2018.</p>

Meghan Markle talks about her unborn daughter's future during a passionate new speech

<p>A British court on Wednesday upheld Meghan Markle's copyright claim against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline, over its publication of a letter to her father.</p>

<p>The ruling by Judge Mark Warby means the Duchess of Sussex, as Markle is formally known, has now won every part of her legal claim against the newspaper group, which published a handwritten letter she wrote to her father Thomas Markle.</p>

<p>Warby said on Wednesday at a remote hearing lawyers acting for Queen Elizabeth II had assured him the copyright did not belong to the Crown so he was granting "summary judgement" over that remaining aspect of the case, too.</p>

<p>But the judge said at the time her copyright claim needed further scrutiny because the newspaper group suggested Meghan did not fully own the letter's copyright and members of the royal communications team helped her draft it.</p>

<p>Meghan's solicitor, Ian Mill QC, said on Wednesday lawyers for the Keeper of the Privy Purse -- the official responsible for the monarch's private funds -- had written "disclaiming any claim to copyright on behalf of the crown".</p>

<p>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have taken up new job roles with US President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr Jill Biden. They are now joining hands to encourage people to get a coronavirus vaccine at Global Citizen's Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World next month.</p>

<p>The former royals, Bidens and US Vice President Kamala Harris will be making an appearance at the event hosted by Selena Gomez. It is said to inspire vaccine confidence worldwide and help distribute the shots to where they're needed most.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/prince-harry">Harry</a> and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/meghan-markle">Meghan </a>will act as VAX Live Campaign Chairs, delivering an important message about global vaccine equity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The couple has also been organizing an initiative to raise funds amongst the private sector for the vaccine-sharing program, COVAX. In a press statement, Harry and Meghan said, “Over the past year, our world has experienced pain, loss, and struggle—together. Now we need to recover and heal—together. We can’t leave anybody behind. We will all benefit, we will all be safer, when everyone everywhere has equal access to the vaccine. We must pursue equitable vaccine distribution, and in that, restore faith in our common humanity. This mission couldn’t be more critical or important.”</p>

<p>During the event, Global Citizen will also be requesting philanthropists and corporations donate “dollars-for-doses” in order to vaccinate healthcare workers around the world. They're also requesting that world leaders and governments pledge $22.1 billion in order “to get two billion COVID-19 vaccine doses, tests and treatments to the world's poorest countries by the end of 2021.”</p>

<p>Among those attending, the other heads of state will be President Emmanuel Macron of France, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković of Croatia. There will be plenty of A-list guests present as well, with stars like Ben Affleck, Chrissy Teigen, David Letterman, Gayle King, Jimmy Kimmel, Nomzamo Mbatha, Olivia Munn and Sean Penn, in addition to performances from Jennifer Lopez, H.E.R., J Balvin, Eddie Vedder and the Foo Fighters.</p>

Here's how Meghan Markle ensured she had a part in Prince Philip's funeral

<p>The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip, will take place next week, Buckingham Palace said on Saturday, announcing a stripped-back ceremony due to coronavirus restrictions, and a return for exiled royal Prince Harry but not his wife, Meghan.</p>

<p>The announcement came as the couple's eldest son, heir to the throne Prince Charles, 72, paid a heartfelt tribute to his "dear Papa", and said he and the royal family missed him "enormously".</p>

<p>"My dear Papa was a very special person who I think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him, and from that point of view we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that," he added.</p>

<p>"It will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time."</p>

<p>The Duke of Edinburgh - the 94-year-old queen's husband of 73 years -- died peacefully on Friday just two months short of his 100th birthday, triggering eight days of national mourning.<br />

<p>Royal officials said his funeral, which will be televised, will take place at 1400 GMT on Saturday, April 17 in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, west of London.</p>

<p>It will be preceded by a national minute's silence.&nbsp; Government guidelines restrict mourners to just 30 people and close attention has been paid to the pared-down guest list for the funeral, particularly whether the duke's grandson Harry would attend.</p>

<p>Palace officials confirmed he would but his American wife, Meghan, who is pregnant with their second child, had been advised against travelling from the United States on medical grounds.</p>

<p>The couple, who quit frontline royal duties last year, have launched a series of broadsides against the royals, including accusing them of racism, and of failing to treat Meghan's mental health. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will also not be attending the funeral because of Covid restrictions, Downing Street said.</p>

<p>"The Prime Minister has throughout wanted to act in accordance with what is best for the Royal household, and so to allow for as many family members as possible will not be attending the funeral on Saturday," a spokesperson said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>- Gun salutes -<br />
<br />
Gun salutes earlier echoed around the United Kingdom on Saturday as the armed forces paid solemn tribute to the duke. The coordinated 41-round volleys to the former Royal Navy commander were fired at a rate of one per minute from 12:00 (1100 GMT) in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, as well as at naval bases, from warships at sea, and in the British territory Gibraltar.</p>

<p>Similar salutes -- the most according to military protocol -- were also held in Canberra and Wellington, as the Queen is head of state in Australia and New Zealand.</p>

<p>At the Tower of London, a crowd of more than 100 onlookers kept a respectful silence as they watched the Honourable Artillery Company fire shots on the banks of the River Thames.</p>

<p>One onlooker, Heather Utteridge, said she had come to show her respects "for a superhuman". "It's a great loss to not just the Queen, but actually to the country. He represented stability for all of our lives," the 65-year-old told AFP.</p>

<p>Alexander Beaten, 30, said the royal couple had been an integral part of British identity and culture. "We can disagree with the government... but the Queen and Prince Philip are just such a constant," he said.</p>

<p>Sporting events, including Premier League football matches, English county championship cricket and the Grand National horserace, held silences as part of worldwide tributes.</p>

<p>The death of the duke, the longest serving royal consort in British history, is a profound loss for the Queen, who once described him as her "strength and stay" throughout her long reign.</p>

<p>- Flags at half-mast -<br />
<br />
Flags were flying at half-mast on government buildings and will do so until the morning after his funeral. The well-rehearsed protocol for the duke's death -- codenamed "Forth Bridge" -- has been hastily revised because of the coronavirus pandemic, eliminating public events where crowds could gather.</p>

<p>Parliament will be recalled on Monday for lawmakers to pay tribute, but the duke will not lie in state, nor will there will be military processions. &nbsp;British television stations cleared their schedules for special broadcasts looking back on his life on Friday, although the BBC said it had received complaints about the blanket coverage.</p>

<p>Philip had been ill for some time, and spent more than a month in hospital from February 16 being treated for a pre-existing heart condition and an infection. Despite looking frail on his release from hospital on March 16, hopes were raised for his recovery.</p>

<p>But the Queen announced Philip's death at Windsor Castle "with deep sorrow" on Friday.</p>

<p>- 'Farewell, my beloved' -<br />

His death dominated the front pages of Britain's newspapers for the second day in a row on Sunday.&nbsp; "Charles: my dear papa was so very special", the Mail on Sunday said, carrying, like most of the papers, the first public remarks by the Prince of Wales following the death of his father.<br />

Meghan Markle has a 'good chance' of becoming US president, says presidential biographer

<p>Prince William is reportedly struggling hard to resist the urge to share his side of the story ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey was aired.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Just weeks ago, Harry and Markle sat down with the Oscar-winning star to discuss their struggles since the 'Suits'&nbsp;alum joined the royal family.</p>

<p>During the tell-all, the pair made allegations of racism and turning a blind eye to mental health needs against the royal family and the institution at large.</p>

<p>Ever since the interview was aired, it has become evident that William is not pleased with his brother and sister-in-law, who also made mention of William`s wife, Kate Middleton, during the interview. Meghan had stated that Kate had made her cry days before her wedding.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A source close to the Duke of Cambridge has told the daily that he wants to publicly share his side of the story.<br />
<br />
"The queen is insisting that the royals handle the matter privately," said the insider.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, they also said that Queen Elizabeth II "thinks that retaliating will only add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse."<br />
<br />
"William is struggling to hold back," shared the source. "He wants to get his side out there."<br />
<br />
The insider said that the mention of Kate is his priority for wanting to speak out, as he`s reportedly felt "very protective" over his wife since Meghan claimed Kate made her cry around the time of her wedding to Harry.<br />
<br />
The royal would like to "clear the racial allegations," said the source. William previously responded to the claims made by his brother and sister-in-law in a public statement deemed "unusual" by royal expert Katie Nicholl. When confronted by reporters shortly after the interview aired, William said that the royals are "very much not a racist family."<br />
<br />
He added that, at the time, he had not yet spoken to Harry about the contents of the interview. Gayle King recently reported that the brothers have since spoken, but conversations were "not productive."&nbsp;</p>

Just weeks ago, Harry and Markle sat down with the Oscar-winning star to discuss their struggles since the 'Suits' alum joined the royal family. During the tell-all, the pair made allegations of racism and turning a blind eye to mental health needs against the royal family and the institution at large. Ever since the interview was aired, it has become evident that William is not pleased with his brother and sister-in-law, who also made mention of William`s wife, Kate Middleton, during the interview. Meghan had stated that Kate had made her cry days before her wedding. A source close to the Duke of Cambridge has told the daily that he wants to publicly share his side of the story. "The queen is insisting that the royals handle the matter privately," said the insider. Furthermore, they also said that Queen Elizabeth II "thinks that retaliating will only add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse." "William is struggling to hold back," shared the source. "He wants to get his side out there." The insider said that the mention of Kate is his priority for wanting to speak out, as he`s reportedly felt "very protective" over his wife since Meghan claimed Kate made her cry around the time of her wedding to Harry. The royal would like to "clear the racial allegations," said the source. William previously responded to the claims made by his brother and sister-in-law in a public statement deemed "unusual" by royal expert Katie Nicholl. When confronted by reporters shortly after the interview aired, William said that the royals are "very much not a racist family." He added that, at the time, he had not yet spoken to Harry about the contents of the interview. Gayle King recently reported that the brothers have since spoken, but conversations were "not productive."
