Truth bombs were dropped, lines were crossed, and - in turn - memes have been made and one Good Morning Britain TV presenter has walked. The reason behind this series of events? Well, you'll have to make sure you're all caught up by watching Oprah with Meghan and Harry: A Primetime Special.
Finally giving personal insight into what it was like to leave behind her successful career as an actress, Meghan Markle sat down alongside her husband with the legendary American talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. In the interview, both racism and mental health were discussed, as well as the ceaseless, often negative media attention they've received, particularly from the British press, and its impact on their decision to step down as working members of the royal family.
Airing on Sunday night in the US and the following evening in the UK, there have been a fair number of shocking revelations to come out of the interview, leaving a pretty blatant mark across the institution that is Buckingham Palace.
In recent developments, Buckingham Palace has released a statement. In particular, it said: "The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately."
Considering the differentiation made by Meghan herself in the interview of 'the firm' and the family itself being separate entities, this seems like a peculiar response considering a lot of the issue seemed to be placed in the innerworkings of the institution as a whole, particularly in terms of its Human Resources and Press departments.
