Prince Harry’s Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Oprah Winfrey said it all angered Prince Albert of Monaco, who called his “public display of dissatisfaction” inadequate.
During an interview on Thursday with BBC World News, Prince Albert was asked about the March 7 interview, which aired on CBS and drew 17.18 million viewers. Markle, 36, revealed that her mental health grew like a working royalty and that she developed suicidal thoughts that were “clear, real and scary” because she felt isolated and without the support of the monarchy. She also stated that members of the royal family were concerned about the couple’s son, Archie, 1, about “how dark his skin might look when he is born” and clarified rumors that she had upset her sister-in-law Kate Middleton before her wedding. 2018.
“It is very difficult to be in someone’s shoes,” said Prince Albert to the BBC. “I can understand the pressures they underwent, but I think that this kind of public demonstration of dissatisfaction, to say the least, this type of conversation should be carried out within the intimate environment of the family.”
The Prince of Monaco added: “It doesn’t really need to be placed in the public sphere like that. So it bothered me a little. I can understand where they come from in a certain way, but I think it was not the appropriate forum to have this kind of discussion.”
When asked to give advice to Harry, 36, Prince Albert replied, “Well, I wish him the best, but it is a tough world out there and I hope he has the insight and wisdom to make the right choices.”

Not even day after day, just minute after minute, another false claim being made. launched against her. “
However, not everyone was moved by the couple’s revelations. On Friday, Sharon Osbourne, co-host of The conversation, left her job after being criticized to defend Good morning Great Britain Presenter Piers Morgan against allegations of racism after criticizing Markle for the interview.
