it looked like a fairy tale but megan
told oprah behind the smiles
was a very different reality a royal
establishment
unwilling she says to defend her and
prince harry
from tabloid attacks not only was i not
being protected
but that they were willing to lie to
protect other members of the family
megan and harry both say it really
changed on their royal tour in australia
that's when we announced we were
pregnant with archie that was our first
tour but it was also it was also the
first time that the family got to see
how
incredible she is at the job and that
brought back memories
memories of his mother princess diana
adored by the public
from her very first tour in australia
almost outshining the future king prince
charles so are you saying that there
were hints of jealousy
i just wish that we would all
learn from the past megan kept smiling
for the cameras but says at windsor and
pregnant with archie she felt isolated
and alone
and the tabloid hits kept coming after
their tour of africa in 2018
the couple says they were at a breaking
point my biggest concern was history
repeating itself i'm talking about
my mother they say they never intended
to leave their royal roles
only take a step back but almost
immediately all financial support
and prince harry's own security stopped
i never thought that i would have my
security removed because i was
born into this position i inherited the
risk my family
literally cut me off financially and i
had to afford security for
for us wait hold up wait a minute your
family cut you off
yeah in the first half the first quarter
of 2020
but i've got what my mum left me and
without that we would not have been able
to do this
i think she saw it coming and i
certainly
felt her presence throughout this whole
process and i'm you know for me
i'm i'm just really relieved and happy
to be sitting here
talking to you with my wife by my side
prince harry says he's still close to
his grandmother the queen
but his relationship with his father
prince charles is strained
i feel really let down my father and my
brother
they are trapped they don't get to leave
what do you think your mom would say
about this i think she would feel very
angry
with how this has panned out and very
sad
but ultimately all she'd
all she'd ever want is for us to be
happy
kelly i mean there was a lot in this
interview but i think what is sticking
with people this morning is this
allegation that someone in the royal
family
actually said they were concerned about
how dark archie the little boy little
baby how dark his skin might be
how is that going over in the uk and how
how might the
the palace respond
well these allegations of racism in the
royal family
have been out there now for the past
several
years ever since megan joined the royal
family you remember the headlines when
she first
was revealed as harry's girlfriend there
were
some horrible tabloid headlines
surrounding the idea of race and where
she had come from
um in addition to that you can say first
of all i should say the palace hasn't
commented on this
at all yet but you can kind of get a
gauge of just how concerning this is
to the royal family by looking at
harry's response to oprah's questions in
that interview he actually said
you know this came up right at the
beginning of their relationship a member
of the family actually said to him
what will your kids look like he said it
was awkward at the time he was a bit
shocked but just to show you how
damaging it could be he said he will
never reveal
who was on the other side of that
conversation because it could be really
damaging to that person
and savannah hoda yeah and kelly all
this makes it really
super awkward because prince harry is
supposed to travel to the uk there's
a bunch of events there in the next
coming months so how is that supposed to
look
yeah we have the queen's official
birthday celebration you have
prince philip's 100th birthday
celebration and also
the unveiling of a statue of diana on
july 1st that would have been her 60th
birthday
now there have been lots of reports in
the media here that
prince harry is determined to attend
that event he would be standing shoulder
to shoulder with his brother he said in
the interview
that their relationship is spaced right
now
you know they're 5 000 miles of distance
between them not to mention everything
that's happened over the past four years
but that this relationship it's his
brother he loves him
he's determined to get that back on
track guys
miles are not the only kind of distance
it seems
he was hinting at there kelly thank you
