Among the various revelations made by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during their interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier in March, the couple revealed they had secretly gotten married three days before their official ceremony in 2018.&nbsp; 
 
Now, weeks later the Archbishop of Canterbury has denied the news and said that no such secret wedding took place.&nbsp; 
 
During her interview with Oprah, Meghan said she and Prince Harry had a secret marriage ceremony officiated by Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby in their "backyard". 
 
The duchess said nobody knew the couple shared personal vows for "just the two of us". The wedding reportedly took place before the grand ceremony that took place at Windsor on Saturday, May 19, 2018. 
 
Now, speaking to an Italian media outlet, Welby stated that the legal wedding happened on a Saturday and added, "But I won't say what happened at any other meetings." 
"If any of you ever talk to a priest, you expect them to keep that talk confidential," he added.&nbsp; 
 
"It doesn't matter who I'm talking to. I had a number of private and pastoral meetings with the Duke and Duchess before the wedding. 
 
Welby insisted that the legal wedding took place on Saturday, May 19 and said, "I signed the wedding certificate, which is a legal document, and I would have committed a serious criminal offence if I signed it knowing it was false." 
 
During her interview with Oprah, Meghan said, "You know, three days before our wedding we got married. No-one knows that, but we called the Archbishop and we just said, 'look, this thing, this spectacle, is for the world, but we want our union between us'." 
 
She said the vows they had framed are "just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury". 
 
Both Harry and Meghan said it was "just the three of us". 
 
Welby's comments come after the official who issued the licence for the couple's wedding said Meghan was 'clearly misinformed'.&nbsp;

Stephen Borton, the former chief clerk at the Faculty Office, told The Sun that Meghan "is obviously confused and clearly misinformed".

"They did not marry three days earlier in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury," he said.

"The Special Licence I helped draw up enabled them to marry at St George's Chapel in Windsor and what happened there on 19 May 2018 and was seen by millions around the world was the official wedding as recognised by the Church of England and the law.

"What I suspect they did was exchange some simple vows they had perhaps written themselves, and which is fashionable, and said that in front of the Archbishop or, and more likely, it was a simple rehearsal." 
 
Along with Borton's comments, the news daily had also carried a copy of an entry marriage document for the couple which was dated May 19, 2018, and was signed by Prince Charles and Meghan's mother Doria Ragland as witnesses.&nbsp; 
 
The Sussexes are gearing up to welcome their second child- a daughter- this summer. Reports state that Meghan has opted for a home birth for her second child. The couple lives in California along with their two-year-old son Archie.&nbsp;

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to welcome their second child at home.&nbsp; 
 
Several media reports suggest that the Sussexes are planning a home birth for their second child- a baby girl. The couple is parents to two-year-old boy Archie. This will be the first-ever British royal to be born in America.&nbsp; 
 
The 39-year-old Duchess of Sussex&nbsp;and Prince Harry bought their $14.5 million Montecito estate last year after moving to California.

During the couple's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, the gender of the baby was revealed and during the interview, Harry and Meghan detailed their reasons for leaving royal life behind. 
 
Harry said, "A girl, you know, what more can you ask for? But now, you know, now we`ve got our family. We`ve got, you know, the four of us and our two dogs, and it`s great." 
 
During the tell-all interview, the two made several serious allegations against the royal family and the Institution at large, including accusations of racism and turning a blind eye to Markle`s mental health needs.

They also discussed the media`s presence in their life, reporting on their every move and the criticism of Markle`s actions, which led to, in part, her suicidal thoughts. 
 
Markle confessed she had no clue what her royal marriage would bring into her life, saying, "There was no way to understand what the day-to-day was going to be like."

"That`s what was really tricky over those past few years, is when the perception and the reality are two very different things. And you`re being judged on the perception, but you`re living the reality of it," she added.&nbsp;

The couple moved to America in early 2020 after quitting their roles as senior members of the British royal family. They announced their second pregnancy earlier this year on Valentine's Day.&nbsp;

Meghan Markle is opting for a home birth for her second child: Report

Another day and another dig at Meghan Markle in the life of TV celeb Piers Morgan, who recently stepped down from his famed role of host of Good Morning Britain. In a new, lengthy article in a newspaper on the events in the aftermath of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey that led to him leaving the TV show, he gave a rundown of everything he’s been facing.&nbsp;

On his reaction to the Meghan-Oprah interview, Piers Morgan said, "I expected such disingenuous self-serving wrecking-ball stuff from a social-climbing Hollywood actress like Ms&nbsp;Markle, but for Harry to publicly shred his family and the Monarchy like this, while Prince Philip was seriously ill in hospital, is so out of character for a man who once bravely served his Queen and country in war.”

On him being called out for his post-interview reaction, Morgan wrote, “It appears that questioning Meghan's fork-tongued 'truth' is now a racist hate crime.”

On his walkout&nbsp;from&nbsp;his own show after being angry, he gave a lowdown of his spat with GMB weatherman Alex Beresford and wrote, "I don't mind outside guests trying to make a name for themselves by whacking me like this, but I wasn't going to sit there and take it from one of my own team, especially someone who I've gone out of my way to help whenever he's asked me for advice about his career. Realizing I might say something I'd regret, I decided to leave the studio to cool down."

On why leaving the studio was a bad idea in hindsight, Morgan writes, "I knew it wasn't a good look, the great snowflake-basher running away from confrontation. And on reflection, I shouldn't have done it. But in the heat of the moment, in my rather strained state of mind, this seemed the less worse option."

After some soul-searching, Morgan decided to stick to his stance and left Good Morning Britain. He wrote, "I reached a moment of total gut clarity: f**k it, I wasn't going to apologize for disbelieving Meghan Markle because the truth is that I don't believe <a data-ctorig="https://www.wionews.com/topics/meghan-markle" data-cturl="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/topics/meghan-markle&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjuzvSsttXvAhX2zjgGHTI6B2IQFjADegQIBxAB&amp;usg=AOvVaw2f6ZbMcBToe_GwNDScE2Bk" dir="ltr" href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/meghan-markle" target="_blank">Meghan Markle</a>. And in a free, democratic society, I should be allowed not to believe someone, and to say that I don't believe them. That, surely, is the very essence of freedom of speech?"

In the aftermath of his resignation, Morgan said his former America's Got Talent colleague Sharon Osbourne was quick to defend him and that it meant a lot to him. "This took real guts, knowing it would enrage the ultra-woke crowd in Hollywood where she lives and works," Morgan says of Osbourne's support. "'When stuff like this happens,' I replied, 'true friends run towards you, fake friends run away.'"

He ended his piece with a plea to "cancel the cancel culture before it kills our culture."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's&nbsp;trespasser has now been arrested. 
 
An alleged trespasser was arrested for crashing through the gate of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex`s California residence.&nbsp; 
 
As per reports, a man named Nickolas Brooks from Ohio -- who drove across the country to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry`s home -- was arrested after being accused of trespassing their home twice in December last year. 
 
According to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff`s Office, the first incident took place on December 24 when police responded to the home that afternoon and cautioned Brooks. Two days later, the authorities responded to the home again and arrested the 37-year-old. He was accused of crime intruding and was booked in prison. He is not, at present in custody. As indicated by reports, Brooks has a criminal history, including a random lawful offense attack which is unrelated to this incident. 
 
Brooks also made a statement where he revealed that he was drunk when he was caught at the royal couple`s home on December 26. Fox News noted that he drove from his home in Ohio to the Sussexes` California property."It was a foggy period of my life. I didn`t even know where I was. I think I was high at the time," Brooks was quoted as speaking to The Sun. 
 
He added: "I don`t know why I went to their place, that`s kind of where I ended up. I drove across the country - I know it`s crazy."He also said he`s been "told to stay away and that I`m never allowed back there." He further claimed he does not have to appear in court and spent a night in jail following the incident. 
 
The duo relocated to America after announcing their decision to step back as senior members of the British royal family. The trespassing news came a few weeks after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex`s sat for a bombshell interview with American host Oprah Winfrey, where they discussed the reasons behind their decision to permanently step back from their royal duties, which they had first announced in January 2020.&nbsp;

No, the drama around Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview is not over yet. Now, Kate Middleton has reacted to the interview and she is reportedly “mortified” by the fact that Meghan Markle brought up the topic of flower girl and who made who cry during the Oprah Winfrey interview.

In the tell-all Oprah interview, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/meghan-markle">Meghan Markle</a> had opened up about not making Kate Middleton cry during the wedding but it was the other way around. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Royal expert Katie Nicholl disclosed to OK! magazine that The Duchess of Sussex has been "saddened, disappointed and hurt."

Katie shared that she's heard there are different versions of the flower girl dresses story and not just the one that Meghan discussed.&nbsp;

Meghan bringing up the topic on the public forum was something that Kate had not anticipated especially after the things were sorted between the two sister-in-laws. "Kate has never wanted any suggestion of a rift with Meghan to come out in the press, so for this story to be circulating is very hard. Kate is so discreet and respects her personal life. You never hear about her falling out with anyone because she is very careful with how she treats others," Katie revealed.

"The word I was given was that those conversations were not productive. But they are glad that they have at least started a conversation," she revealed.&nbsp; 
While the family has spoken to Harry, no one has reached out to Meghan Markle so far, King further revealed.&nbsp;

A fundraiser set up to pay off Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Calfornia estate - costing a whopping $14.6 million- has been shut down after raising merely $110.&nbsp; 
 
Calfornia-based Anastasia Hanson had set up the GoFundMe page two days after Harry and Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey was aired. Hanson reportedly wanted strangers to support the couple and insisted she did not start it as a joke.&nbsp; 
 
During the interview, Prince Harry had stated that his family had cut him off financially and that he had been relying on the inheritance left to him by his mother, the late Princess Diana.&nbsp; 
 
Hanson said she initiated the fundraiser as she felt sorry for the couple. 
 
The page set up by Hanson stated she wanted 2 million of Harry and Meghan's fans to donate $5 each so they could reach the goal of $10 million. The page has now been removed.&nbsp; 
 
The page had read, "I am Anastasia Hanson of Ventura, California and I am raising funds to pay off the mortgage for the Montecito, California home of Harry and Meghan. 
 
"After their interview, I was moved with compassion to help get their home paid off. As they are now financially independent, this will help and be a loving gift." 
 
The archived record of the page shows that only $110 was raised and only three people including Hanson herself had contributed to the cause.

"I like to help people and help them in any way I can," she told The Sun. "That gives me happiness. If you needed a home, I'd do the same for you. It's a good deed."

She said she was aware that Harry and Meghan had signed multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify but still was keen to do her bit.&nbsp;

Harry and Meghan, during the interview, told Oprah that they did not have plans initially to sign deals with Netflix or Spotify when they stepped down from their roles in the royal family. They had to rethink later after they were cut off from the family and not offered any financial assistance.&nbsp;

In the backdrop of the allegation of racism by Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle against the British Royal family and similar problems faced by the first Indian origin woman president of Oxford University union Rashmi Samant, the issue of racism in the UK was raised in the Indian Parliament on Monday.

Ashwini Vaishnav, a BJP MP from Odisha raised the matter, seeking the government's response on the issue.

Samant had resigned as the president of the Oxford University's student union, Vaishnav pointed out. "She was cyberbullied to the point that she had to resign and even the Hindu religious beliefs of her parents were publicly attacked by a faculty member," he said.

Samant,&nbsp;with roots from Karnataka's Udupi, was criticised online for some of her social media posts.&nbsp;&nbsp;A student of MSc energy systems at Oxford University, Samant was forced to resign within five days of her appointment in the wake of cyberbullying over posts which were labelled anti-Semitic and racist.

This is the first time that issues like racism in the UK have been raised in the Indian Parliament. India's External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar expressed concern, asserting that the matter will be taken up with Britain with "great candor".

"Let me commend the honorable member for bringing up such an important issue. I note the sentiment of the house, government does," Jaishankar&nbsp;said.&nbsp; "As the land of Mahatma Gandhi, we can never turn our eyes away from racism wherever it is, particularly so in a country where we have such a large diaspora."

He explained, "As a friend of the UK, we also have concerns about its reputational impacts. What I do want to say sir is we have strong ties with the UK, we will take up such matter with great candor when required".

"We will monitor such development very very closely, we will raise it when required, and will always champion the fight against racism and other forms of intolerance," he added.

Interestingly, earlier this year the UK House of Commons's Westminster hall had discussed India's farm laws, with British lawmakers discussing the ongoing protests against it.

This had irked New Delhi, which had summoned British High Commissioner and handed over a strong demarche.

Meghan Markle wants to see evidence of Buckingham Palace bullying probe

Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine from France has sparked outrage yet again after showing England’s Queen Elizabeth kneeling on Meghan Markle’s neck.&nbsp;

The depiction is eerily similar to what happened to George Floyd, a Black man who died after Derek Chauvin, a police officer knelt on his neck. His last words, “I can’t breathe” have become synonymous with the Black Lives Matter movement which erupted over the last year. 
 
Recently, the Duchess of Sussex and her husband Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey that she was subjected to racism within the royal family. Markle also said that she was denied permission to leave Kensington Palace and that she left only twice in four months, which made her suicidal.

Meghan Markle complains about TV host Piers Morgan to UK regulator

The world watched in rapt attention as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat down for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey on March 7. The bombshell interview revealed some startling facts about the couple's lives while they were still a part of the royal family. 
 
While much is being discussed about the interview- and rightfully so- it has also led to people's eagerness to own the furniture that was used in the interview.&nbsp; 
 
For the interview, Winfrey and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat in a friend’s garden on wicker and acacia outdoor chairs, which belong to the design collection of the former Brady Bunch star Christopher Knight.&nbsp; 
 
The episode aired on Sunday and by Tuesday the chairs from the Christopher Knight Home Burchett collection, which cost approx $554 a pair, had sold out online across retail websites.&nbsp; 
 
The interview had an impact on the popularity of the patio chairs and led to Knight, who played Peter Brady on the hit show, writing a status on Facebook expressing gratitude for the exposure his brand got.&nbsp; 
 
“In Oprah’s sensational interview with Prince Harry and Meghan this week, who would have thought the furniture would have been noticed at all, but it was…and not even by me!” Knight wrote. “I am honoured to have the patio chairs from my collection become the seat of the most fascinating famous sit down in recent history.” 
 
In the two-hour-long interview, Harry and Meghan opened about mental health, racism and the reason why they decided to move to the US.&nbsp;

After certain eye raising revelations, the `Last Week Tonight` host went viral on Twitter for the comments he made to Stephen Colbert a few month`s before the couple got married in 2018." I would not blame Meghan if she pulled out of this at the last minute," the 43-year-old host told Colbert.

He continued, "They`re an emotionally stunted group of fundamentally flawed people doing a very silly pseudo-job. That`s what she`s marrying into. So I hope she likes it.

John Oliver's 2018 warning for Meghan Markle goes viral after Oprah Winfrey interview

Meghan Markle has now filed a formal complaint to the British broadcaster ITV against the former television presenter and a former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan.

Meghan Markle files formal complaint against Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan, the pugnacious British TV presenter who lost his job over his attacks on Prince Harry`s wife Meghan, said on Wednesday he still did not believe what she had said during her Oprah Winfrey interview. 
 
Morgan, 55, left ITV`s 'Good Morning Britain' on Tuesday after a backlash against his comments on Meghan`s interview with Winfrey, in which she revealed she had felt suicidal while living as a royal in Britain. 
 
"On Monday, I said I didn`t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I`ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don`t. If you did, OK," Morgan said in a characteristically combative Tweet on Wednesday morning. 
 
"Freedom of speech is a hill I`m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I`m off to spend more time with my opinions," he told his 7.8 million Twitter followers.

In an interview that has embarrassed Britain`s tradition-bound monarchy, Meghan, who married Prince Harry in 2018, said the royal family had rejected her pleas for mental health support. 
 
The American actress, who is mixed race, also said that someone in the royal household had raised questions about the colour of her unborn son`s skin. 
 
The morning after the interview was aired on U.S. television, Morgan said on Good Morning Britain, among a torrent of other criticisms, that he did not believe a word Meghan had said. In a Tweet, he called her "Princess Pinocchio". 
 
The following morning, he stormed off the set of the live programme when challenged by a co-presenter about his stance. Later that day, ITV said he was leaving. 
 
Monday`s programme attracted more than 41,000 complaints to Britain`s media regulator, the second highest in its history, which announced an investigation. 
 
Morgan first made his name in the cut-throat world of the British tabloid press, culminating in stints editing the now-defunct News of the World, then the Daily Mirror. 
 
He later went into television, appearing as a judge on the reality shows America`s Got Talent and Britain`s Got Talent. For three years he hosted a chat show on CNN. 
 
Morgan`s detractors said his attitude towards Meghan seemed to be partly driven by personal animus because, by his own account, he had got on "brilliantly" with her when he had first met her but she had later dropped contact with him. 
 
Susanna Reid, who co-presented Good Morning Britain with Morgan and frequently disagreed with him on air, described him on Wednesday`s programme as "outspoken, challenging, opinionated, disruptive". 
 
Morgan told reporters on Tuesday he thought Meghan`s interview had damaged the monarchy and Queen Elizabeth at a time when her 99-year-old husband Prince Philip was in hospital, which he said was "contemptible". 
 
"If I have to fall on my sword for expressing an honestly held opinion about Meghan Markle and that diatribe of bilge that she came out with in that interview, so be it," he said.

Gravitas: Harry & Meghan interview triggers an international crisis for the Royals

What purpose does the British Royal Family serve besides being UK'S soft power? Their lifestyle costs the taxpayer heavily, their powers are unaccountable & they see privilege as a birthright.WION's Palki Sharma asks: Is it time to #AbolishTheMonarchy?

Gravitas: Should the British Monarchy be abolished?

The Harry and Meghan interview has received wall to wall coverage within British media - while the country is still struggling with the Wuhan virus. The British economy suffered its worst slump since 1709. WION's Palki Sharma asks, why are the Brits still obsessed with the Royals?

Gravitas: What explains the obsession with the Royal Family?

"Meghan Markle is bringing down an empire.” That's what a Democratic lawmaker in New York said yesterday. He was talking about the bombshell interview, the one featuring two former royals.

"Meghan Markle is bringing down an empire.” That's what a Democratic lawmaker in New York said yesterday. He was talking about the bombshell interview, the one featuring two former royals. The one that's been in the headlines for more than a week now. And the one that has triggered-- what can only be called--- hysteria. British tabloids are infamous for blowing things out of proportion. And this interview is perfect fodder for them. It is triggering new fights, even on live television. Broadcaster Piers Morgan engaged in a rather heated debate with his colleagues — while discussing the interview. Meghan Markle's father dismisses her racist allegation against the royal family: The whole thing about colour is bulls**t The Good morning Britain anchor said: "I'm angry to the point of boiling over today; I’m sickened by what I've just had to watch." Good morning Britain co-anchor, Susanna Reid, said: "OK, several people might be upset and moved by what they've heard." Then, Morgan replied: "Sorry, you can defend it in a minute. I'm just going to say what I'm going to say. They trash everybody. They make out the entire royal family a bunch of white supremacists by dropping this race bombshell." Royal concerns on Archie's skin colour to having suicidal thoughts, Meghan Markle tells all in Oprah interview Reid said: "They didn't use that phrase." Morgan later walked out of his show. He lost his cool after one of his colleagues accused him of launching a "one-man tirade" against the former royals on air. You could say they're over-reacting. And you'd be right. But they're not the only ones. This interview has caused what is being called a full-blown constitutional crisis in the UK. Across the Atlantic, even the White House felt the need to weigh in. During a press conference, the White House press secretary seemed to suggest that US President Joe Biden backs the decision of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to speak out. “Markle is a private citizen and so is Harry at this point. For anyone to come forward and speak about their struggles with mental health and tell their personal story, that takes courage. That's certainly something the president believes,” she said. A flood of tweets came from Meera Harris too, the niece of Vice President Kamala Harris, the one who's proven to be an ace at milking controversies. Comments and reactions have been pouring in from around the world. It's as if which princess made the other one cry is the subject of utmost priority for the whole world. It's beyond bizarre. But 2020 has taught us to not undermine the bizarre. So this is what we have. Everyone is talking about the royal interview. Except for the royals themselves. No word yet from Buckingham Palace. The royal family is yet to issue a statement. To say that Meghan and Harry washed dirty linen in public would be an understatement. They've levelled some very serious charges against the British monarchy. Markle claims she was suicidal. She accused a member of the royal family of racism. The Buckingham Palace hasn't said a word. Harry's father, Prince Charles, made his first public appearance today. He was asked about the interview. He did not say anything. You can walk away from a question. But you'll have to face the crisis that the interview has triggered. In the US, the hashtag #Abolishthemonarchy has gone viral. Social media users are questioning the relevance of the monarchy today. Even the British prime minister couldn't avoid the subject. He chose to defend the queen's role, in a public statement. "I've always had the highest admiration for the queen and the unifying role that she plays in our country and across the Commonwealth. As for the rest, all other matters to do with the royal family, I've spent a long time now not commenting on royal family matters and I don't intend to depart from that today," Boris Johnson said. All of this is happening over one interview. A former royal couple chose to reveal their family feud. Some have called them brave. Others say they're just attention seekers. Whatever they are, they're at the centre of a storm now. They may have wanted to make a splash. They ended up with a tsunami. What's the role of the British Monarchy? Which countries still have kings and queens? To do what? If there's one thing that Meghan Markle's interview has done, it has raised questions on the role and conduct of the British Monarchy. Is it unaccountable, is it racist? What purpose does it serve? Except maybe boosting the soft power of Britain? It attracts media attention, tourism, international students, maintains political good-will. And sometimes helps secure trade deals. But is it a meaningful and relevant institution in today's world? One family gets taxpayer-funded grants, lives in lavish palaces, gets special protection from the justice system. And wields political influence. Why? Because they were born royal!!! But pause for a moment. And ask yourself: Does the world still have a place for such an antiquated system of governance? Or is it time to abolish the British monarchy? Here's our case. A child born in the United Kingdom today can become anything he or she wants to. An actor, a footballer, a prime minister, but not ahead of the state, no matter how intelligent or talented they are. Because Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy. The head of the state is a position given to a royal as a birthright. A monarch is born superior, while the rest of the people are the monarch's subjects, not British citizens. The monarch is also the sovereign of 15 countries in the Commonwealth of Nations. The monarch cannot be prosecuted, cannot be made to pay taxes either. Can drive without a license, can travel without a passport, has the power to form governments, and the power to dissolve governments even in Australia. These are all powers every monarch inherits at birth. But should they? Members of the royal family are in no way biologically superior to anyone else. They have nothing that sets them apart except maybe jewels and magnificent clothes. Their lifestyle is incredibly expensive. Accounts for the sovereign grant -- which funds the queen and her household expenses show that the monarchy cost the British taxpayer 67 million pounds between 2018 and 19. A 41% increase from the previous financial year. To add to this, the royal prerogative gives extensive and unaccountable power to the royal family. The monarchy can exercise its judgement to influence government policy, political debates, the appointment of the next prime minister and the dissolution of the British parliament. The parliament, on the other hand, is simply prohibited from questioning the conduct of the royal family or discuss the future of the monarchy. The monarchy also undermines the proper recognition of merit as the hereditary head of state. The queen is the governor of the Church of England, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the 'fount of justice’ the head of the British judiciary. The monarchy says these are all ceremonial powers but according to a report by The Guardian, there have been at least 1,000 instances when the queen has been given a chance to shape draft legislation to suit her private wishes. In fact, in February this year, a report revealed how the queen had lobbied for changing a law to hide her wealth. The monarchy also makes it impossible to separate the church and state. For all its claims of being a multi-cultural and secular society, the Church of England discriminates in favour of one religion above all others. Because the queen is both the head of the church and the state, making it impossible to disconnect the two. Of course, the United Kingdom is not the only one. There are currently 43 monarchies globally. But only a few are constitutional monarchies. And even fewer insist on claiming the moral high ground of being a democracy. So should the UK abolish the monarchy? If Britain can leave the European Union in the name of sovereign rights, then why not? There's no other way to put it: Britain is in its worst shape since World War 2. This time, the enemy at the gates is invisible: the Wuhan virus. The pandemic continues to grow in the UK. More than 4 million cases and 124,000 deaths. The UK is the worst-affected country in Europe. Hundreds are still dying from the virus every day. And just as the vaccines emerged - so did a new variant, a more potent and more contagious mutation. Britain's response was more lockdowns. But that came at a cost. The country is going through its worst economic slump in three centuries. Jobs are disappearing, small businesses have been decimated. It will take at least two years before the economy reaches pre-pandemic levels. And we're not done listing Britain's economic woes just yet. The government has been on a borrowing spree since last year. The budget deficit is at its highest since World War 2. What Britain needs right now is some Churchillian steel to channel the guts of the greatest generation. The generation that braved the barrage of Nazi bombers, 70 years back. Instead, they're busy talking about an interview. At the outset - let's make one thing clear. We are not trivialising Meghan Markle's struggles. Her allegations are serious. The palace must be held to account for its actions. But does a family squabble qualify as public interest? At what point does fascination become an obsession? It's an unnecessary distraction, even for the government. The prime minister has to field questions about it. Even the White House has released a statement. We are in the middle of the world's largest vaccination drive. The pandemic is the only thing world leaders should be focusing on. But in Britain-- this has always been the case--daily life is shaped by royalty. Britons are urged to speak the Queen’s English. They gather under the flag and sing God Save the Queen. That's the British national anthem. They line the streets and go gaga over royal weddings. The same ones that they, the taxpayers, end up paying for. The monarchy is embedded in every Briton's DNA. But why? After all, the family doesn't do much. Other than wave and smile a lot. The royals have managed to convince the country that it needs them. That Britain would disintegrate without a king or queen. There's a common saying among royalists: Politicians may come and go, but the family remains. Humans love a sense of continuity. The idea of something that exists for posterity. The monarchy preys on this. It also explains all the pomp and show. Hundreds of years back - the British monarch was considered God's representative on earth. People aren't naive enough to believe that today. But the divine narrative remains. All the traditions, the coronation with holy oils, it's all part of the larger-than-life image. Royalists believe the monarch is endowed with God's mandate to rule. It's an unequal and unjust mandate. The family has its reasons for defending the monarchy. But why do people stick with it? The queen serves as a reminder of Britain's golden days. When it ruled the seas and had colonies on every continent. In other words, the monarchy is Britain's biggest colonial hangover. Many countries were ruled by monarchies in the middle ages. But as British historian Robert Lacey says, they were sensible and clever enough - to grow out of them.

Meghan-Harry interview and obsession with UK royals: Is it time to abolish the monarchy?

The White House said Monday that it took "courage" for Prince Harry and his wife Meghan to speak out in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

"For anyone to come forward and speak about their own struggles with mental health and tell their own personal story, that takes courage," President Joe Biden's press secretary, Jen Psaki, told reporters.

However, Psaki stressed that the two royals are now "private citizens" and "we aren't going to provide additional commentary from here on behalf of the president."

"We have a strong and abiding relationship with the British people and a special partnership with the government of the United Kingdom on a range of issues and that will continue," she said.

Harry, Meghan show 'courage' in airing mental health struggles: White House

Meghan Markle's interview has revealed the dark side of British royalty. Markel claims she was bullied. There was a 'discussion' about her son's skin. Markel says at one point - she even struggled with suicidal thoughts.

Gravitas: The dark side of British royalty

It was well worth the wait. The first joint interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle since they stepped down from royal life last year (a process that became officially permanent last month) did not disappoint.

I, for one, watched this tell-all with Oprah Winfrey while texting with many of the same Black women with whom I watched their wedding in 2018. Back then, we shared OMG emojis because we were pleasantly surprised by the way Black culture was so powerfully celebrated and Markle’s African American identity so thoughtfully integrated into their ceremony at St. George’s Chapel.

Now, we were aghast at the couple’s allegations that racism toward Markle and its various consequences were a primary reason they fled their home to find freedom in sunny California.

Based on Markle’s deep commitment to women’s rights and the interview’s promo clip — Winfrey asks her, “Were you silent or were you silenced?” — I went into this assuming it would be a feminist revision of the couple’s fairy tale romance.

“The latter,” Markle responded in the interview. Later, she’d compare her life as a royal to Princess Ariel losing her voice after falling in love with a human in “The Little Mermaid.” In that analogy, this interview is the final breaking of that spell, with Markle now fully in control of her voice. It reminded us that she never needed a Prince Charming to rescue her, while showing us that their very modern marriage is what saved and ultimately liberated them both from the trappings and the trap that it is the Crown.

But therein lies the true catalyst for their radical reinvention: Harry’s racial awakening. Here, I do not just mean the accusations from the couple about the deep anxiety some royals had about the potential skin color of their son, Archie — which resulted, they said, in him not being offered the traditional rituals of the royal hospital picture, the title “Prince” and the security that comes with that status. Rather, the second hour of the interview was a culmination of a process that Harry had been undergoing since their first date in 2016, when he was becoming more clear-eyed, confrontational and emboldened to take on the British monarchy into which he was born, and the white privilege that holds it up and has benefited him his entire life.

Typically, we see racial awakenings as a tragic rite of passage for Black people. In slave narratives and early 20th-century African American autobiographies and novels, there is often a moment in which a Black child realizes she is not only different from her white peers but that her darker skin or African American parentage makes her inferior to them. Literary critic Henry Louis Gates Jr. once described it as a “scene of instruction.” In books like W.E.B. DuBois’ collection “The Souls of Black Folks,” from 1903, or Nella Larsen’s novel “Passing,” from 1929, this traumatic rupture is always intimate and severe, the first and most formative experience in a lifetime of racist insults.

As Black parents, we try to prepare our children for these inevitable encounters with The Talk, the sage advice and survival strategies we hope might blunt the damage of these betrayals. But every Black person I know has had such a moment. Mine was my senior year in high school when my white classmates charged that the only reason I had been admitted to the University of Pennsylvania was because of affirmative action, an insinuation that equated being Black with being underqualified, and an injury that has caused me to obsessively overachieve in almost every aspect of my professional life.

I’ve rarely heard white friends discuss their parallel experiences of first realizing their privilege. In fact, this past summer was unprecedented in the sheer number of public figures and predominantly white organizations that released statements or tweets acknowledging their role in perpetuating systemic racism. In private, I and many of my Black friends received more sympathetic emails or Black Lives Matter solidarity texts from our white colleagues than ever before. It seemed, suddenly, white people too were having their own version of The Talk.

And in popular culture, these awakenings are appearing with more frequency. In this season of NBC’s “This Is Us,” Randall’s white siblings, Kate and Kevin, are, as a result of the Black Lives Matter protests this past summer, slowly coming to terms with how much their own white household, and their ongoing refusal to deal with racism, has harmed their African American brother, who was adopted.

Without such recognition by our white family members and friends, racial inferiority is merely thrust onto Black people as a unique burden that we must bear, disprove of and reject. This innocence is at the core of white privilege, and by extension, white power.

Back in 2005, when Harry wore a Nazi uniform to a costume party, it would have been impossible to predict his trajectory. By last fall, however, his awakening was well underway, with him talking about how his marriage to Markle immediately changed his understanding of race.

“I had no idea it existed,” he said of unconscious bias in British GQ. “And then, sad as it is to say, it took me many, many years to realize it, especially then living a day or a week in my wife’s shoes.”

Sunday night, he took it a step further. First, he noted how “the race element” distinguished the tabloid frenzy surrounding Markle from others in the past.

“It wasn’t just about her, it was about what she represents,” he said. Next, he indicted his family for not taking on the racist attacks hurled at their own, and then linked their institutionalized reticence or refusal to intervene to Britain’s much longer history of imperialism.

That the couple landed in the United States during a pandemic that has disproportionately harmed African American and Latino families, and in a period of racial protest and rising white nationalism, feels a bit like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

But maybe that’s the point.

Freed from the constraints of not being able to confront racism head-on might mean that he will dedicate his life to dismantling it, not just out of necessity but also as a way of writing a new chapter in his family’s history and bequeath his children a legacy of anti-racism.

And if that is the case, it really will be better than any fairy tale ever imagined.

It was well worth the wait. The first joint interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle since they stepped down from royal life last year (a process that became officially permanent last month) did not disappoint.

Prince Harry finally takes on white privilege: His own

Some 17.1 million Americans watched Oprah Winfrey`s bombshell television interview with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, broadcaster CBS said on Monday. 
 
CBS said Sunday`s two-hour interview, in which Harry and Meghan accused the royal family of racism and of failing to protect them from negative media coverage, drew the biggest audience for any entertainment special since the Oscars telecast in February 2020, which was watched by 23.6 million viewers. 
It was also the most-watched non-Super Bowl event on a Sunday in prime time in over a year, CBS said. The National Football League`s Super Bowl regularly draws an audience of around 100 million and is the highest-rated TV event in the United States. 
 
Sunday`s interview was the first given by the couple since they stepped back from the British royal family a year ago. Meghan spoke of feeling suicidal while Harry said his father, Prince Charles, had let him down. 
 
The interview will be broadcast in Britain on Monday night. Buckingham Palace has yet to comment on their remarks.

It dominated the conversation on social media, morning television shows and newspaper front pages on Monday in Britain and abroad.

The hashtag #HarryandMeghanonOprah was among the top five trending items worldwide on Twitter during and after the broadcast, while #Abolishthemonarchy was also buzzing, with 11,200 tweets. 
 
The couple`s interview covered not just their tensions with the royal family but also Harry`s disgust at the conduct of the British press, particularly the tabloids.&nbsp;

By lunchtime in London, Mail Online had 24 stories on the couple on its website. Its print stable-mate The Mail on Sunday published an 11-page special in anticipation of the broadcast. It recently lost a privacy lawsuit with Meghan.

The Daily Express had more than 30 different stories online.&nbsp;

Much of the coverage centered on the dramatic moment when Meghan said her son Archie, who will be two in May, had been denied the title of prince because there were concerns within the royal family "about how dark his skin might be when he`s born".

Prince Harry, Meghan interview is the most-watched show since the Oscars 2020 ceremony

Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, on Tuesday, responded to his daughter's allegations against the British royal family and their racist remark on her child. The senior Markle termed it as just a 'dumb question' and said he did not think the royal family was racist.&nbsp; 
 
In an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday, Meghan Markel alleged her son, Archie, now aged one had been denied the title of prince because there were concerns within the royal family about "about how dark his skin might be when he`s born". 
 
Reacting to the statement, Thomas Markle told ITV, "I have great respect for the royals, and I don`t think the British royal family are racist at all. I don`t think the British are racist, I think Los Angeles is racist, California is a racist, but I don`t think the Brits are."

"The thing about what colour will the baby be or how dark will the baby be; I`m guessing and hoping it`s just a dumb question from somebody ... It could be somebody asked a stupid question. Rather than being a total racist." 
 
"This whole thing about colour and how dark the baby is is bulls**t," Markle said. He thought that the comment should be investigated. 
 
Markle and his daughter have been estranged since her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018. Markle, a former lighting director for US TV soaps and sitcoms, pulled out of the wedding days beforehand after undergoing heart surgery.

He said his daughter had let him down while he was ill. 
 
"I also feel that she let me down," Markle said. "I was in a hospital bed the last time we talked and I never heard from them again - they didn`t care if I died." 
 
Asked about the interview Meghan and Harry gave to Oprah Winfrey, Markle said "they went way over the top," and should have waited, considering that Queen Elizabeth`s husband Prince Philip was in the hospital.

"They should have waited considering the queen`s age and Philip`s age," he said. 
 
In May 2018, just a week before Meghan and Prince Harry's royal wedding, UK Tabloid The Mail on Sunday had published a report claiming Meghan's father had teamed with the paparazzi to stage photos of himself preparing for his daughter's wedding day. 
 
Meghan, on Sunday, also addressed her 'betrayal' while speaking to Oprah Winfrey, and recalled how the UK media had even hounded her parents in days prior to her wedding.&nbsp;

She said, "There was such an obsession with anything in my world, including tracking down my parents, and I did everything I could to protect both of them in that media frenzy." 
 
Meghan added, "But for over a year, the UK tabloids were trying to find my dad, offering people so much money to try to find his address. Once they did, I remember being told, there was a huge headline like, 'We found him' or 'We've got him.' We're talking about someone's father. And from that point, the tabloids, they moved into the apartment next door and across from him, descended on this small town, giving him gifts. The whole thing brings us to where we are today." 
 
"Did it feel like a betrayal, when you found out that your father was working with the tabloids," Oprah asked.&nbsp; 
 
Meghan replied, "If we're going to use the word betrayal...it's because when I asked him…When we were told by the comms team this is a story that's going to be coming out—which, by the way, the tabloids had apparently known for a month or so and decided to hold until the Sunday before our wedding because they wanted to create drama, which is a really key point in all of this: They don't report the news, they create the news—we called my dad and we asked him, and he said, 'No, absolutely not.'"

"And I said, 'You know, the Institution has never intervened for anything for us. But they can try to go in and try to kill this story. But if they do this once, we're not going to be able to use that same leverage to protect our own kids one day,'" Meghan had added.&nbsp; 
 
"So when I said, 'We won't be able to protect our own kids one day,' and I said, 'So, I just need you to tell me. And if you tell me the truth, we can help,' and he wasn't able to do that and that for me has really resonated, especially now as a mother."&nbsp;
