CBS.

The most ‘shocking’ moments in last night’s interview between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey.

Following the interview, Graham Smith, of Anti-monarchy group Republic said:

“The monarchy has just been hit by its worst crisis since the abdication in 1936. Whether for the sake of Britain or for the sake of the younger royals this rotten institution needs to go.

“Some people will say ‘well you would say that’, but this interview has only served to highlight what a lot of people have known for years: the monarchy is rotten to the core and does not reflect British values.

“Most people in the UK don’t give a second thought to the royals, they’re just not that interested. The monarchy is tolerated because of a carefully managed but dishonest image that’s been created over the past few decades.

“Now people are getting a much clearer picture of what the monarchy is really like. And it doesn’t look good.”

It is understood that Queen Elizabeth and the Prince of Wales were not aware of the content of Harry and Meghan’s personal statement before it was issued.

The couple said they will work to become financially independent while continuing to “fully support” the Queen.

But a palace spokeswoman said: “Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage.

Harry and William received more than £5m from their father, Prince Charles, last year.

It was not immediately clear how Harry and Meghan would achieve financial independence, although last year it was reported that Harry would be executive producer of a documentary on mental health with Oprah Winfrey, for Apple’s video streaming service….

Meghan Markle at Croke Park earlier this week

On Wednesday we were treated to the sight of the Duchess of Sussex treading the hallowed sward of Croke Park and marching across the cobbled court of Trinity College in her Sarah Flint stilettos.

She neither sank nor toppled.

A woman who can do that can do anything.
