What did Queen tell William and Charles after Meghan Markle interview? Royal family in 'intense personal shock'

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have accused the royal family of racism and users are now expecting a press statement from the institution

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's incendiary interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired on CBS on March 7, Sunday drew intense reactions across borders and for good reason. But the shocks were felt most in the royal household. While the world continues to discuss and assess how the bombshell claims will impact the Royal family dynamics, the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William are "locked in crisis talks," Daily Mail reported. 

Since stepping away from royal duties, this is the couple's first and undeniably most-explosive interview to date, which has apparently left the palace "reeling." Understandably, the royals are now under pressure to issue an official statement in response to the claims made on the TV show. How much of it will they accept or deny is something we'll have to wait and see.

Tyler Perry provided Meghan Markle and Harry security when royal family did not: How much was the crew paid?

Talking to the outlet, a  palace insider described the mood as that of "intense personal shock and sadness" and how Harry had pressed the "nuclear button on his own family". 

In their chat with the American talk show host, racism and mental health came up aside from Harry's deep rift with his father that had reached a point where the senior had stopped taking his calls. While their conversation centered around how harsh the tabloid treatment was, both Meghan and Harry appeared invested in sharing bits and parts of the times when they were not treated right by the royalties. 

"In the months when I was pregnant… we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title, and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born," she said. Obviously, this statement resulted in wild speculations but Prince Harry made it amply clear that it was not the Queen. 

Meanwhile, social media went on an overdrive to share their two cents on the matter and how Meghan may have gone to "war" with the Queen by saying what she did.

"So Meghan Markle basically went to war with the current Queen of England and the future Queen of England. Good luck with that," one user tweeted, while another shared: "American truly a drama queen and knows well how to play victim." "I'm currently having three conversations about Meghan Markle, including one with a person who has never given a moment's thought to the monarchy and is now psychoanalyzing the Queen. I think this whole Oprah interview might be kind of a big deal," another commented. 

"Do I feel sympathy for #MeghanMarkle, or do I feel I'm watching a consummate actress in an interview with her friend Oprah which was planned from before her marriage to make money? Were "allegations" of racism deliberate to hurt + damage the Queen and her Commonwealth?" a user asked. "Meghan Markle such a drama Queen! Always playing the race card and playing the victim. “I want my privacy” but still getting these interviews. Your old friend says you have Princess Diana books while you were younger. I’m Asian and we can see right through you! #meghanmarkle," another pointed out.
