In an explosive two-hour interview that aired last night, Oprah Winfrey spoke with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle about what life was like inside the Royal Family.

There was a range of allegations made that included that Markle was refused help when suicidal and that the royals refused to make their son Archie a prince because they were worried about how dark his skin would be. The couple also said that they were cut off financially from their family and that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge made Markle cry before the royal wedding. 

Channel 10, who aired the special, had the top primary (24.0%) and network (29.9%) share as 1.36m tuned in for the interview.

As the interview gets shows around the world, and reports of the Palace being in turmoil are circulated, media outlets around the world are reacting strongly.

 

Here’s a round-up of some of the commentary and reporting about the Oprah with Meghan and Harry interview.
