The Interview With Harry and Meghan
Harry hasn’t seen his family since his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, who has since publicised her own opinions and views following the controversy.
In the tell-all, he and his wife, Meghan Markle, accused the Royal Family of racism and alleged that there were ‘conversations and concerns’ held over Archie’s skin colour before he was born.
Prince Harry said: “That conversation, I am never going to share.
“It was awkward, I was a bit shocked.”
But since the chat has aired, it’s been confirmed that the comment did not come from the Queen or Prince Philip.
In the interview, Meghan also addressed concerns over how she was treated by The Firm and shockingly revealed she had been left feeling suicidal at one point.
She said: “But I knew that if I didn’t say that [to Harry], I would do it [hurt myself]. I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.”

Even though female members of the Royal family including Queen Elizabeth have served in the forces, they are not required to wear the same uniform.
That’s because it’s not considered part of the queen’s duties to wear her uniform.
