Paloma325 I think the Royal Family is in dire need of at least SOME color. One more generation without color and they’re gonna be transparent.

if people who wear outfits that cost more than a home in North America can complain about life, where does that leave the people worried about the next electricity bill?

DennisKoch10 AUFKM!!!!!!

FFS, It appears Markle soiled the whole Royal family. Why didn't she name the person/s who were concerned about the darkness of the baby's skin and be done with it?

You think black families are any less embarrassed by a light skin baby than a white one is with a dark skinned one? There are a million beautiful white women in eng. He married her as a fuck you to the royals cause of what they did to his mum.

Why are we so quick to judge when others are hurting? Depression is real. It sucks. Every moment of every day. It makes everything a monumental effort. It is all consuming. It happens to rich and poor alike. Show some compassion please. depression

Ain’t nothing explosive except NBC diarrhea

It’s astonishing that the palace remove the security detail. When Diana divorced Charles the Firm removed her title and security. Her death was the death direct result of being guarded by a poorly trained security detail. Thank god Harry served in Afghanistan, he knows risk mtg

How do you as that family in London and the Queen now show your face around the world and try to spread good will. To me they have just put themselves in the box with the Nazis and many of the racist groups we have in our country. What do you think?

An interview with Harry Oprah and the lying golddigger tramp

Is this a Woman who loves her Grandchild or not?

Continued prayers for Meghan, her husband, and their family.

Very disappointing but not surprising to hear what the British Royal Family stands for. I wonder what QueenElizabeth thinks about all of this... IStandWithMeghanAndHarry

She isnt even really Black... People like her makes the rest of us really think about keep going on this insane, fuckin and shitty World.. that each day is Worst specially because of shit like Her..

I sympathise with her , but she did marry into one of the oldest most famous, talked about institutions in the world , there are rules ! It’s complicated

How dramatic and unbelievable !!!!

Meghan & Harry. The SuperRich & Privileged Yet Again Selling Their Sob Story For a Fortune Trying to Show They Are So Normal & So Ordinary... Just Like YOU & Me. I Don't Buy the Story!!! NotSoRoyalStory

Can not even imagine the pressure of a “family business” where traditions, expectations, public opinion, & family duty is not only forced upon you since birth but is mandated down to any future members of the monarchy! It’s sick how the media is used to “control” them!

La corona inglese é responsabile di numerosi crimini nel corso della Storia. Solo i sudditi britannici non se ne accorgono. W la Repubblica.

Racism in house of windsor !😬

this is Jake Sully signing off

Although Harry seemed reluctant to talk about it, but did not deny it. But confirmed his wife use to be crying everyday, Charles stop taking his calls. Cut him off financially, cut his security protection in Canada, lucky for money Diane left that’s how they survived.-:))

There was an explosion? Maybe a fizzle of narcissism. But no explosion.

I don't understand why black people think that calling them black or saying something about their color is degrading or insulting? I mean you're black own it be proud of it why to get offended if someone asked about Archie's color then what's wrong with it?

Explosive would name names..was a huge whine fest nothing burger.....protecting awful people as per Hollywood usual. Lame af.

i honestly didn't know meghan was black. i thought she was white!

Like my skin tone Lol

What part of not wanting media attention and wanting to live privately does this interview represent?

Rich white people in the states regularly do the same as well I’m sure.

10Y 1.601%. The music is about to stop. yields treasury cnbc bloomberg spy dowjones ftse dxy nasdaq cashistrash

I don’t trust her !!! Show credibility, name names, where’s the witnesses, the allegations wouldn’t stand up in a court of law. She’s seeking attention, Grandstanding, outrageous behaviour

I bet the Queen wishes she had lent that Tiara to Meghan!! Should have let them be half in half out! Absolute Calamity now!

The only people who care about these people are the liberals who bitche's about being entitled is wrong..hypocrites

Dark skin- she purposely kept it vague so people can only speculate and throw the stone to someone more prominent Self harm - what specifics brought her to the depth of self harm? I hope it's not because she did not get what she wanted. Departure - you left and you were let go

Rich peoples problems...

This is the royal family. No one should be surprised that skin color was discussed!

I am going to share it with others.

Hell, he drug her into it...he knew them folk were racist. Hell once wore a Nazi costume. It's all hype, propaganda and agenda chasing.

I feel sad they went through this. But this interview is completly bias when there are NO mentions of Meghan's dad & half-siblings. If nothing was off limits, Oprah should've asked them about this & the lawsuit with her dad as a witness against her.

Honestly, outside of those directly involved and their financially benefiting, including Oprah, was all this really worth two hours of time on a Sunday night, when there's so much else we should be worrying about?

My question is who are the Firm and who calls the shots if not the Queen.

Fantastic interview. I respect them so much.

Diana copying

The Real Question Is. How Many Darker Skinned Babies Have Popped Up In That Family Since The 1300s. Genetically Speaking? It's Bound To Have Happened. With TWO Black Women Of African Descent.. Married Queens? It Probably Did, But They Just Got Rid Of The Child. Jus Sayin.. Yep...

Don’t care

Lol I live in the middle east & there is one thing I know for sure, royalties & rich ppl are liars. Dark skin MY ASS!

Ok, they are free of all the royal BS. Now get on with your lives, you have a beautiful son, you live free in America, move on so we don't have to endure anymore of your narcissistic trivial issues of millionaire royals

Oprah Was 100% WRONG. Meghan Is THE THIRD African Descended Woman Who Was In 'The Royal Family'. The 1st {Philippa Of Hainault} In The 1300s. She Was Of Moorish Descent. 2nd Was {Charlotte Of Mecklenburg-Stelitz}. Born 1744. 3rd? Meghan.. Oprah WAS 100% WRONG!! As Usual. Yep...

When it comes to monarchy, traditions are above individuality. It's not modern, it's not for everyone and it can be cruel. I don't see British monarchy changing. So what you do is simple math: you get the hell out. And they did it. After all, they love each other.

Megan spoke over Harry, guess who is in charge.

I guess she thought suicide would not help her husband ? That was a smart move.

These two are almost 40 years old. These things are drama I hear from 18 or 20 year old couples. Grow the hell up, get over yourselves. Nobody gives a shit about how dark your sons skin is.

Pretty sure William was the one asking about the color of Archie’s skin. Harry & Wills had a falling out early on, supposedly about William saying “you’re moving too fast with that girl.” I’ve always known there had to be more to it.

What kills me is they expected her to do royal work, but she wasn’t a paid family member. So the black woman is unpaid labor. REALLY? They expected them to let tabloids invade their privacy & take royal baby pics, but they refused to give Archie his birthright title & security.

Hate her because she is black? She is married to Harry(Your fellow white).Expecting another child,cheers! He didn't see her race,he loved her. Accept and move on.

Just think if Prince Harry had been complacent about Meghan’s mental stability and had told her to just suck it up and get over it because this is just the way things are. Thank God Prince Harry is an exceptional man. I even love him more now.

Telling this to a struggling world of taxpayers is to make everyone feel exactly how, better? 🤦 Whiny State funded luxury loafers should get a pity-party soiree of their peers together for that.

Well done, I know most people do not understand that they chose a non-royal life, but they did what is right for their family, good for them

Joke & Woke, The Interview

There is another side of this pitiful story which we will never discover. Meghan/Harry know the Royal Family will never defend themselves against their accusations. Meghan didn’t fit in; no matter what she said; she’s a drama queen former princess. Press has ALWAYS been negative.

Since the royals dethroned Prince Harry will he now be called Harry Mountbatten-Windsor?

It was brutal!

Prince Harrays and meghan markle Will have more Kids Some of them Maybe Dark Skin but they Will love them ,It doesn't matter what Color We all are sons and Daughters of God

She is such a whiner!

It's Prince Harry's fault. He should have warned Megan of what to expect but he didn't bc he's a spoiled brat who thinks his state funded lifestyle would continue when he decided to quit.

🙄🙄🙄🙄

Rachel and Harry Hewitt - enjoy America.

It is so sad they have to live in a hovel as they broadcast their Dirty Laundry in the Tabloid style they hate.

Why doesn’t this surprise me?

Meghan and her mother were welcomed with a national day of celebration. Harry was patron of a mental health charity - you’re telling me he couldn’t get someone to come visit her? They were prisoners in the palace but could somehow leave the country? 🤔

Good for Harry & Megan. ‘Nuff said as I think we can all figure out what ‘aristocracy’ is all about & call it both antiquated & bigoted in one breath.

Poor Meghan living in a palace

BS. Has to be fiction. What was the point of Meghan's interview if not to be self-serving and self congratulatory?

I hope after this interview we never hear from them again

One of the least important things that will have zero impact on anyone's lives Good job wasting our time

MeghanSmollet

Didn’t stop them for asking Disney for a job while working for the institution! Oh but wait that wasn’t supposed to be over heard

🤮🤑🤑🤮🤑

The queen is a parasite. Meghan is being harassed by british monarchy. This time they wont have it so easy.

Alas it was so terrible they had to move out of their lavish palace into a lavish mansion in California we’re both of them now do nothing but whine and cry !!!!!

'We moved back because I missed In-N-Out Burger.' MeghanHarryOprah HarryandMeghanonOprah HarryandMeghanOprah BuckinghamPalace MeghanMarkle Oprah

The world needs more love. Meghan and Harry have the power to heal the world.

Interview was a train wreck for Meghan. Fake News can spin it however they want.

The British invaded or colonized roughly 178 black and brown countries and they’re wondering if Archie’s skin was going to be too dark? Well, I guess they showed their true colors.

Come on man. There's a reason why morganatic marriages have always been discouraged!

Lol why is everyone pretending that they didn’t know the Royals dont like 👨🏾 👩🏾? This is like a sheep marrying into a family of wolves and then doing a primetime interview

So, Markle heard from someone that someone else overheard someone say something?

Americans dunking on British institutions for being racist and corrupt should probably pump the fucking breaks about now.

I don't know why, but I just think that accusation is bullshit.

The Daily Mail sure has it in for her. They are relentless in their attacks and have been for a long time.

how much negro does she have in her? Whats the exceptable amount of negro allowed by the Queen?

I believe every word. The Monarchy since inception has been riddled with spins, coverups & murder under the guise of protect the crown at any cost. There will now be a massive smear campaign of these 2 by the machine through the British press. I’m glad they got out. Alive.

Seriously what did they expect.

Seriously, I don’t care

Whole lot of triggered racists below ↓↓↓

Pretty sure we fought and won a war over 200 years ago so every American for all eternity could give zero craps about the British monarchy

Well that’s racism showing its ugly head again racism needs to stop around the world not just in the US but everywhere

Someone actually said that out loud?! That's

Man protects is family and butt-hurt gammons are triggered!!

😪😪

I’m so mad at them both. “we just want to live a normal life” goes on Oprah, tells press about her pregnancy, has several interviews a month.

Bottom line ..ALL of the DRAMA is because Harry married that COLORED girl! Just like ..ALL of the DRAMA created in the U.S. the past 4 years by orange 🍊 dude 45 is because the OBAMAS lived in the WHITE house. The story is ALWAYS the same!

After Success of BLM in America,Meghan launched it now in UK starting from the Royal Family itself..... Wow

The Royals are still collecting money from predominately black countries and have the nerve to be concerned if Archie would be too black!? These MFs right here! royalscancelled

That is “crap”.... even if.... what does she gain telling the “supposed” comments? Facts, lady....

I had to change the Channel. It was a Megan Pity Party. What did she think. Everyone would bend down to kiss her behind.

Who told her?

Royal family is beyond racist! No surprise there

Monarchies are not known for progressive policies. That's because their authority and wealth are based on heredity, not merit, making them institutionally exclusive and therefore reactionary by design. I'm surprised I have to point this out to people.

This girl is bad news for this family

Sounds like some white shit

I cannot believe Harry confirmed what Meghan all said. I think it was Prince Charles who wouldn’t give Archie the title or security. That’s why Harry is so mad at him. Wow . How could not the Royal Family not stick together?! I cannot believe it gma

YusufDFI If skin color was indeed a problem, she would have been denied permission to marry Harry. Most ungracious, selfish and deluded woman and have ever seen.. Always in a victim mode

Controlled opposition. Bow down to The Better's.

Crybaby.

Oh, for heaven's sake!

Prince Charles, as the Son of a Danish Prince & German Queen, only married Princess Diana as a token of good faith to the UK. The Welsh descended from Serfs & Slaves enthralled to the Viking ancestors of Denmark & Germany; her death was no accident, and neither was World War 1&2.

Meghan, you have more than most women could dream of. Quit holding grudges and enjoy your life. Hate is like a simmering pot that soon boils over and burns you. Thank God you have what 99.9% of women in the 🌎don’t have.

The American Revolution was fought so I could give no f***s about the Royal family or their problems or opinions.

This isn't news! Do better.

Seems like she’s playing the race card because Archie wasn’t getting a Title. Prince Charles said years ago that he would be paring down the use of titles because there were just too many Royals out there.

Wait.... I thought racisms only happened in America... 😂

‘The Palace’ are probably the staff and Phillip. No one else would care. Did Harry forget to tell Meg that the Palace doesn’t respond to the press EVER? Never has. Only his mother did.

I wonder if this guy was involved in those conversations?

Again, Black lives matter 🙏👌👌

That family needs more melanin in it. She's half, so her babies would be 25%. What's genetic probability? Too bad Shakespeare isn't still around to write about English royals. He'd be all over this family.

You’ll be okay Archie You have parents who love you. Just be yourself.

WTF?

Think this is far bigger than Diana’s interviews. Do you think it’s bigger than Wallis Simpson?

Does vile Bethany Frankel have anything smart ass to say about Meghan Markle now?

When Harry met her the Uk was like ‘wow she’s lovely!’ She was was the one that made it clear she was black! The UK was then like ‘What? She’s Black?’ In shock because we never saw her that way! And to say about babies skin? What BS everyone was wandering if he would be ginger?

God is going to always choose for you your Pat no matter what and the pathways that you choose to take choose You the things obstacles or persons that are on your pathway either block you or get rolled over

This interview is blowing my mind.

Victoria's mother rushed to Britain to give birth so Victoria would be British but she was German, Albert was German, The Queen IS German, Charles IS German, & they r concerned with skin tone

This...is so upsetting!

That let's u know the royal family are racist if they are worried about a babies skin color

Sorry, not buying it. Megan is pushing the sympathy angle and it's pathetic.

Plz somebody tell them Floyd’s killer is about to go on trial, we don’t care about their privilege life.

I have a difficulty believing this. Meghan is beautiful, she’s only going to improve Harry’s genes!

Meghan Markle says she had been the victim of 'character assassination' by her fellow family members and the pressure drove her to the the point of self-harm.

Pretty sure that something she dreamed up

Lol if there really is a God, when I get to heaven I’d like to know what the negro ever did to him/her for this stigma. Can you imagine this sort of “concern” when all they want is a chance to love each other and be loved. Life is a trip OprahHarryMeghan

I don’t even believe that a bit

vxx46 I wonder how many times Harry had thoughts about his decision of marrying Meghan.

She was told. She was told. She was told. So she never actually heard the Queen, Charles or William say a thing. Might as well had been someone that wanted to destroy her or push her away.

They’re just mad that she’s the star of the family now.

Yeah,thats a problem👌

My ex-mother in law, Elizabeth (Liz) Molenaar had similar concerns about my skin tone too.

Dark? He’s a Ginger ffs.

I guess leaving the Royal life because of media harassment doesn’t apply anymore ... what a joke these 2 are ..., he has no b***s and she is a manipulative as it gets .... when she needs it the media is good lol

The filthy rich whine to the filthy rich about the filthy rich.

This surprises no one. Unfortunately.

She wants to be the new Lady D

'The fear, frustration, malice, and confusion caused by Racism white supremacy, prevents all constructive activity between the people of the known universe.' - Neely Fuller Jr.

Absolutely heartbreaking and disgusting. But I was not shocked given the history and the culture within the royals. So proud of these two for speaking their truth💗❤️🧿🧿 God help them and God bless them.

I’m not surprised.

She is going to look very bad after this! Very bad indeed!

😂🤣😂🤣

So according to her The Queen was good to her and Kate was too....

Check this grand Oscar performance by Oprah. Not amazed on how rich she gets from segments like this. Remember bryAnna Taylor billboards with Oprah logo on it.$$$$$$$. Wake up people!!

Total rubbish. Playing race for the raising of her profile in America is shockingly bad . What a snake
