“But you can't avoid it because everybody's talking about it, it's on all the news things and on all the papers. “I feel terribly sorry about the whole thing.”“I’m so sorry for that whole family, who we love so much.

Everybody was so happy at the wedding and I just think it's spread a bit of uneasy and unhappiness just when we should be spreading unity and positivism and lots of love.”In the interview last year, Meghan, 40, made racism claims about Harry's, 37, family whom she claims were worried about how 'dark' their child's skin would be.Meghan declined to say which royal had spoken with Harry about Archie's skin colour, saying it would be “damaging” to them.Oprah asked if Meghan felt Archie would be denied a title because he is mixed-race, and the duchess replied that concerns about the colour of his skin were raised.The host, shocked, replied asking her to expand, at which point Meghan said she didn’t want to give away any “damaging” details.

During the interview, the Duchess of Sussex also claimed Kate Middleton made her cry before she married Harry in a row over flowergirl dresses.Harry also said the royal institution was a “trapping” environment.He added he felt he had “no where to turn to” when Meghan admitted she was struggling and having suicidal thoughts while pregnant.

The Duchess was close to crying when she told Oprah: “I didn't want to be alive anymore.”Despite this, the couple were full of praise for the Queen during the interview, whom Meghan said has “always been wonderful” to her.The actress said she called the Queen to check in when Prince Philip was in the hospital as an act of kindness.Meghan also said she was “silenced” by Buckingham Palace officials and felt lonely in London.
