It was literally a series of’bomb remarks’.
Meghan Markle sits in a black dress with a lotus flower in front of the American talk show Queen Oprah Winfrey.
A mixed race between a white father and a black mother, she said she heard shocking stories from the royal family when she was pregnant with her first son, Achi.

“My son will not be escorted and won’t be given a title. There have also been conversations about’how dark the skin will be when the baby is born’.”
(I beg your pardon?)
Contrary to the glamorous appearance, the reality was so painful that they confessed that they even thought about extreme choices.

“If I didn’t (to my husband) tell me (even extreme thoughts), I would do it. I just didn’t want to live anymore.”
The media continued to make malicious reports constantly comparing his brothers Prince William’s wife Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, but the royal family remained silent.

“No, the opposite (I cried) happened.”
Her husband, Prince Harry, also said she left the royal family because her mother Diana’s tragedy was likely to be repeated.

“I was trapped inside the (royal) system like my other family members. My father and my brother are also trapped. They can’t escape, and I feel great compassion for them.”
The US CBS broadcaster is known to have paid up to 10 billion won to the production company of Oprah Winfrey for the exclusive broadcast of the interview, but the Harry couple said they did not receive the price for the interview.
The whole of England was buzzed by the shocking revelation of the couple who left the British royal family in January of last year and now lives in California, USA, but the royal family has not yet responded.
However, three days before the airing of the interview, suspicion that Megan had “cheoped” to the royal staff arose, and as the royal family said that they would investigate the truth immediately, it is expected that they would sooner or later fight back.
