Meghan says suicidal thoughts were 'very clear'
Here's all the best memes and reactions to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
It's here, the moment we have all been waiting for: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry finally sat down for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday night (Mar 7) and the tea was scolding.
As you probably already know, there's been a lot going on within the British Royal Family which resulted in Meghan and Harry ditching their royal duties all together in 2020. Meghan has been subjected to abuse from the media and public since meeting Harry which only increased during their abdication (dubbed "Megxit"). The couple have remained silent on the effects of being constantly hounded by the media but it was finally time for them to tell their story.
From Prince Charles ignoring Harry's calls to the couple revealing they are expecting a baby girl, the interview was packed full of revelations you would have never expected.

Prince Harry revealed that the Royal Family cut him off financially in early 2020 and he survived on money inherited from his mother Princess Diana. The money was released to him aged 30 and reportedly totals over £20 million (although, that was to be shared with his brother). Harry said: "I have what my mum left me and without that we wouldn’t have been able to do this. It's like she saw it coming and she’s been with us through this whole process."

This one is something you probably didn't see coming. Actor, director and billionaire Tyler Perry actually gave Meghan and Harry a place to stay and security whilst they figured out what they were going to do in California. The couple were originally in Canada but had their security taken away and moved to Los Angeles. Whilst they got themselves together, Tyler kindly offered to help them.
"We didn’t have a plan and we needed a house and he offered security as well so it gave us breathing room to try to figure out what we were going to do," Meghan said. Tyler coming to the rescue was not what anyone saw coming and we expect to see the Madea Goes to London movie in 2022.

Prince Harry revealed that his father actually stopped answering his calls during the time Meghan was being criticised by the British press. Harry said he felt "really let down" by his father but ultimately he will always love him.
"There was a way of doing this, but for us, for this union, and the specifics around her race, there was an opportunity, many opportunities, for my family to show some public support," Harry said.

Between this and The Crown, Prince Charles is having the worst PR year since we all heard him say he wanted to be Camilla's tampon

Thanks to Oprah's facial expressions, we now have even more memes. Oprah (who is already a meme Queen) ranged from disgust to shock and sorrow throughout the interview proving why she's the CEO of interviewing celebrities.

Surprisingly, the Queen is one of the more forgiving members of the Royal Family. Meghan said she was "lovely and easy" during their first meeting and she loved being in her company. She also added: "The Queen, for example, has always been wonderful to me." The rest of them, though? JAIL! Get Jada Pinkett-Smith on the phone now.

Is there really any need to the British monarchy anymore, really? Once The Crown is over what is their purpose? Unless Meghan and Harry are crowned we don't want it anymore.
