Royal Secrets: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Apologize for Oprah Comments

Before the burial of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were compelled to issue an apology for their controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey.

A royal insider revealed that the couple was asked to mend the damage caused by their discussion of the royal family, which had crossed boundaries.

Reports suggest that the interview deeply outraged and infuriated Prince William and Kate Middleton, leading to the request for an apology.

The intention behind this apology is to acknowledge the impact of their words before the Queen's burial.

Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth, the four members of the royal family have made public appearances together.

They were spotted laying flowers in Westminster Hall on Wednesday.

A source close to the situation stated that they felt it was necessary to convey the message that making unpleasant remarks without consequences is unacceptable.

This move aims to demonstrate unity and address the repercussions of the interview.

During the tell-all interview with Oprah in 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan discussed their decision to step back from their roles within the royal family.

They also made shocking claims about concerns regarding their son Archie's skin tone and alleged that Prince Charles, who is now king, had stopped returning Harry's calls.

Additionally, the couple revealed that they had a secret wedding before their official royal ceremony and announced their expectancy of a daughter in the summer of 2021.

Meghan also disclosed her struggles with suicidal thoughts, stating that she was prohibited from seeking help.

As a result of the breach within the royal family, Harry and Meghan were reportedly not invited to a state reception organized by King Charles at Buckingham Palace.

The event, which would have included numerous foreign aides and political officials, was said to have sent invitations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex earlier in the week.

However, representatives from Buckingham Palace clarified that the couple was not invited due to the reception being exclusively for working royals.

It was also indicated that Harry and Meghan had expressed their unlikelihood of attending.

Despite the tensions caused by the interview, there were hopes that Prince William and Harry would reconcile after appearing side by side to honor their late grandmother.

An insider claimed that the brothers set aside their differences as they stood together, looking over the flowers.

This display of unity was seen as crucial for Queen Elizabeth.

On Tuesday evening, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined a small, private meeting at Buckingham Palace with the new Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as other members of the royal family.

The purpose of this meeting was to receive the Queen's coffin before it lay in state at Westminster Hall.

After the Sussexes departed for the United States, the brothers had barely communicated for more than two years.

This gathering marked the first time the four couples had been seen together since Commonwealth Day in March 2020.

As the world bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth, her coffin was lowered into the royal vault at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

The royal family, along with mourners from around the globe, sang “God Save the King” as her coffin disappeared from sight.

This public memorial service served as the final tribute to the legendary Queen.

A private committal service in Windsor will follow, attended by her family and close friends.

During Queen Elizabeth's state funeral at Westminster Abbey, Prince Harry and Meghan were seated in the second row.

This dashed earlier hopes that the event would serve as an opportunity for reconciliation between the British royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

However, they eventually returned to their front row positions in Windsor.

In the Abbey, they sat behind Prince Andrew, who has been excluded from the working ranks of the family due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein, and beside their cousins Beatrice and Eugenie.

On the right side of the church, behind King Charles, sat Harry and Meghan.

In the front row, wiping away tears during the service, were Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and her husband Sir Tim Lawrence, as well as Prince Edward and his wife Sophie.

The current Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton, along with their children, were also seated in the front row.

Surprisingly, Anne's children Peter Phillips and Zara, who are not working royals, were present, accompanied by Zara's husband, Mike Tindall.
