The interview with Oprah was revealing and, at times, moving.

Just yesterday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat with Oprah for a long-awaited revealing interview that actually turned out to be more revealing than most expected. This covered everything from their wedding to Meghan’s treatment by the press and alleged racism addressed to the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan Markle courageously admitted to having struggled with mental health problems that led to suicidal thoughts. (If you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts, here are 13 hotlines for suicide and crisis intervention that you can use to get help.)
Here are Twitter’s reactions to some of the interview’s revelations …
Meghan and Harry actually married in secret before the public wedding
There was the televised wedding, of course, but apparently Meghan and Harry were also married earlier, in secret. Game of Thrones style …
Did Kate Middleton make Meghan cry?
Oprah asked Meghan about a story that circulated in the British tabloids saying that Meghan had made Kate Middleton cry. It was a strange story that brought out all kinds of horrible headlines from the notorious UK tabloids.
According to Meghan, it was the other way around. Kate had made her cry because of complaints about florist dresses.
The crown will be good
The whole internet was watching, reacting to the drama of what will undoubtedly be an incredibly attractive season for The Crown, if we get this far.
The writers for the next season of Netflix’s hit, The Crown, have a lot of new material to work on.
Meghan is identifiable, but does she Google her future husband?
Many viewers mentioned that Meghan was identifiable and did a great job during the interview, etc. But is it really expected that we believe she didn’t Google her future in-laws in the 21st century?
“Meghan didn’t search for the royal family on Google. In the meantime, I see a guy at the supermarket and 30 minutes later I will have his great-aunt’s house pulled up at Zillow,” joked a Twitter user.
Meghan Markle is incredibly identifiable because I also don’t understand what my job is

Have you stopped taking your calls?
People were shocked by Prince Harry’s revelation that his father, Prince Charles, stopped taking his calls.
Most of the tweets surrounding this interview were reaction photos, just like this one. To be quite honest, it makes sense. This was not a typical interview for a softball celebrity.
The UK Press
Following the interview, the UK press, which has been notoriously awful in its coverage of Meghan Markle in particular, started with their take. It didn’t take long for Piers Morgan, a journalist who has been particularly and consistently critical of Markle, to speak.

The rest?
I don’t really know how to categorize this or where to put it, so I’m going to leave it here. Thanks.
