The interview between Prince Harry and his wife, who lived in the United States after breaking up with the British royal family, sparked a sensation.
British Prime Minister Johnson clarifies “respect for the queen”
The New York Times picked four main points of the interview. Meghan struggled with the royal life to the point of feeling suicidal, and he was unable to receive royal help with regard to mental health. When they were pregnant with the first baby of the Prince Harry and his wife, they were subject to racial discrimination, such as talking about the color of the child’s skin.
British Prime Minister Boris said, “I have always had the best respect for the Queen and her role in uniting the state and the Commonwealth,” while avoiding immediate answers after being asked questions related to the interview on the 8th.

“I haven’t talked about royal affairs for a long time,” he said. When asked,’Do you believe the royal family was really racist?’, he replied again, saying, “When the problem arises about the royal family, the right thing the prime minister can do is not to mention.”
Prior to the interview, Prime Minister Johnson said through a spokesman in connection with Meghan’s interview that “it is a matter of the royal family and the prime minister has not seen the interview.”

England not friendly to Prince Markle and his wife
The British royal family is silent about the interview. But British public opinion is cold.
The Times published an article stating that the revelation of the interview between Harry and Meghan was worse than the royal family was worried about.
The UK’s Sky News reported that public opinion was not friendly to the couple. In an interview with 2111 adults, 47% said that the interview was inappropriate, more than twice as many as 21% who answered that it was appropriate.
Penny Juno, a royal biographer, said there would be much more to be said in the royal family regarding Markle’s stiffness, and said it was a “really inferior retaliation war.”
Another royal biographer, Ana Pasternak, said in an interview with the BBC, “It felt like a soap opera that suited Megan’s tastes. No one asked Megan’s relationship with her father or why only one of her family members came to the wedding.”
