[국제]Markle: “Suicide Attempt…Racism in British Royal Family”

[앵커]

In January of last year, they declared their independence from the British royal family and then moved to the United States.

Princess Meghan Markle said she felt suicidal because she was told she would not recognize her son as a prince because she was concerned about the skin color of her son, who was born of a mixed race.

Reporter Yeojin Lee reports.

Princess Meghan Markle said she felt suicidal after living in the royal family and called for help from a high-ranking employee for mental health issues, but said she did not receive any help because it would harm the royal family.

Also, when she was pregnant with her son Achi, there were words of concern about the color of her child’s skin, and she claimed that she had heard that she would not be able to become a prince or receive royal guards.

[메건 마클 / 영국 왕자비 : 제 아들이 왕실 경호를 받지 못하고 왕자가 되지 못할 거라는 걸 들었죠. 그리고 아들이 태어나면 피부색이 얼마나 어두울지에 대한 우려와 대화가 오갔습니다.]

Regarding reports that East-West Queen Kate Middleton cried because of her, she said she cried, and Middleton later apologized and reconciled.

He added that he was forced to remain silent and was not protected from the royal family.

Prince Harry insisted that his father, Prince Charles, had left the royal family because of lack of understanding and support, saying that he hadn’t answered his phone for some time.

He also revealed that the second pregnant woman was a daughter.

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that Prince Harry and his wife were interviewed for up to $9 million from CBS and KRW 1 billion in our money, but Oprah Winfrey, who conducted the interview, stressed that the couple did not receive compensation.

On the 2nd, ahead of the interview, The Times reported that in 2018, royal employees who were harassed by Princess Meghan resigned.

The next day, the British royal family announced their policy of investigating, saying, “I am very concerned,” unusually.

British royal experts analyzed the interview as reminding the public of the reciprocal war between Prince Charles and Diana in the 1990s.

This interview will also be broadcast on Monday local time in the UK.
