Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Interview With Oprah: Top Takeaways (Pictures) by Nobody: 8:41am On Mar 09, 2021
"I just didn't want to be alive anymore," Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, said.

Queen locked in reported crisis talks after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left Buckingham Palace in "horror and dismay".


Oprah Winfrey's bombshell interview with Prince Harry and Meghan revealed a raft of allegations and details about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's lives before and after their split with the royal family.

Here are the main takeaways from the interview, which Buckingham Police has yet to respond to:

Archie’s skin color

Meghan, who is biracial, said Harry had conversations with his family about how dark the skin of their son Archie might be when he was born.

"They didn't want him to be a prince or princess, not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol, and (said) that he wasn't going to receive security," Meghan said.

"In those months when I was pregnant... we have in tandem the conversation of, you won't be given security, not gonna be given a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born."

She declined to reveal the person or people who made the remarks, because it would be "very damaging" to them.

Later in the interview, Harry, 36, said he was "never going to share" that conversation, adding that it had left him "a bit shocked."
Asked if she was bothered her son was not going to be given the title 'prince' she said:

"All the grandeur surrounding this stuff is an attachment I don't personally have. "I have been a waitress, an actress, a princess, a duchess, and I've always just been Meghan.

A private wedding

Harry and Meghan’s fairytale wedding in May 2018 drew international attention, but the couple revealed that a more intimate ceremony took place just three days before the public event.

The couple said they felt the official wedding was a "spectacle for the world," and they wanted their own vows. So the ceremony presided by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby was "just the two of us in our backyard with the archbishop," Meghan added.

Prince Charles

Harry said he had felt “really let down” by his father and the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, as the couple dialed back their royal duties last year. He said Charles had stopped taking his calls at one point during extended talks about their exit.

Harry added that their decision to step back as senior royals did not blindside the queen, his grandmother. Both spoke warmly about the queen throughout the interview, with Meghan saying she has "always been wonderful to me."

Harry said his relationship with his brother, William, is about giving “space" at the moment amid speculation about a growing rift between the two.

Brought to tears

Meghan said that she was brought to tears before her wedding after a disagreement with her sister-in-law Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.

This account contradicted British tabloid reports that Meghan had brought Kate to tears. Meghan said she was the one left with hurt feelings after the encounter, which came at a time when she had to deal with the controversy over whether her father, Thomas Markle, would attend the wedding. (He did not attend.)

Meghan said that Kate had apologized and even sent flowers to make amends.

Baby girl on the way

Harry and Meghan announced on Valentine's Day that they were expecting their second child. They revealed Sunday it’s going to be a girl.

Suicidal thoughts

An emotional Meghan said she had suicidal thoughts during her time with the royal family.

“I was really ashamed to have to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry especially ... but I knew that if I didn't say that, then I would do it," Meghan, 39, said in the exclusive interview. "I just didn't want to be alive anymore."

She described her thoughts about suicide as "methodical" after pleading for help but getting none.

"I have lost my father, I lost a baby, I nearly lost my name, there's the loss of identity...but I'm still standing," the duchess said.

She added she hopes the message people take from the interview is "know there's another side, to know that life is worth living".

Moral of the Story!

Never Fall for all these Gram and Social media hype! A whole lot of the folks you see Smiling and doing this or that are going through Terrible Pains and Challenges.

Many of the people you wish to be like are not happy where they are. Many crave for the freedom and Peace you have.

Never Ever base the Source of Your Peace and Joy on Material things. You can have all the Material things in life and still lack Peace, Joy, Freedom and Happiness.
You can't Genuinely Have a relationship with GOD and not have Peace. It is impossible.

Irrespective of Whatever you are or you Have on Earth, if you don't have JESUS, you are living a risky life. You live in fear and uncertainty. You are Nothing!

Racism is still a potent reminder of where we are coming from and the British royals cannot hide this fact. It was inevitable that Harry and Meghan would have to realise this and find their bearing, if they can survive the onslaughts from the British press.

Racism at its peak, the Queen as the head of the Anglican church cannot stomach a Negro as a prospective king of England in the future.
No wonder they changed an Hebrew Jesus image to an European blonde.

Research is good here are google images of real Jesus not the Hollywood one we have today. The basic question is will people recognize the real Jesus, when he comes back or will the Antichrist have his way, because he is more handsome & blonde ?.

The Britiah Royal family are racists. This news was taken seriously in US

Some were even calling for the desolution of the British political structure

How can a family in this modern time that we're shouting no to racism be this mean to their son because he brought home a biracial woman?

They even refused to give the first son of the couple a prince title because of "how black his skin will be"

I don't like the woman personally and how Prince Harry has been acting like a simp but this is 21st century dude

Let's not forget how Queen Diana was murdered because she wanted to marry an Egyptian because he is of African decent

Hmmm.


It is even more shameful that black Africans being ridiculed by the rest of global races refused to have sense and organize their countries through good leadership that will position black nations on global map and the world will start to respect blacks.



Nobody respects a failure, black nations have continued to show signs of failure for decades now and keep electing abysmally failed presidents to lead the black nations to doom!


This is the saddest part of black people's story.

cool

You can only give an ugly woman a facelift which is a temporary solution.

But when it rains, the facade washes away and you're left with a nasty and hideous woman.

Brethren it is your duty to properly vet you lady before you commit. Secondly, do not allow emotions to weaken your authority as you're built to captain the ship.

Your woes or victory starts and ends with how you handle the above.

That's the problem of marrying into a Family where the Man's don't like you. In that case you really pray so that the man won't die and he's family will not throw your things out

I don’t think the issue here is just skin color, I think the family just felt disgusted at the kind of woman prince fell in love with..

The prince is a stupid ass marafuka..

But if UK royalty says they don’t want blacks, I personally don’t see any issh about this. UK isn’t Blacks Country..

The media has gotten what they want from them since they left the royal family.
