6 things Harry and Meghan revealed about the royal family during their interview with Oprah

4. The Queen knew Harry and Meghan would be leaving

“I’ve never blindsided my grandmother, I have too much respect for her,” Harry told Oprah. Even before Meghan and Harry announced their departure from the Royal Family, they had spoken to the Queen about it on several occasions.

Meghan stresses that she never intended to leave at first, and neither did Harry. “I wouldn’t have been able to, I, myself was trapped. Trapped within the system, like the rest of my family are […]. They don’t get to leave.”

5. There seems to be an ‘invisible contract’ between the tabloids and the Royal Family

From the moment Meghan became associated with Prince Harry, all the tabloids seemed to turn against her. And things only got worse. According to Harry, there was an ‘invisible contract’ between the Royal Family and the press: the tabloids were given access to information as long as the rest of the family would be represented positively in the media.

6. The couple no longer receive financial support from the Royal Family

Since their departure in 2020, the Sussex couple no longer receive financial support from the Royal Family. Prince Harry reveals that he relied on the money that his mother, princess Diana, left him:” I think she saw it coming.”
