Meghan and Harry’s Oprah interview sent shockwaves following its airing.

In it, the couple made a series of bombshell claims and revelations.

Meghan said she felt suicidal while pregnant with her son Archie.

However, she claimed she asked someone at the Palace for help and she was told it “wouldn’t be good for The Institution”.

Meanwhile, Meghan alleged there were ‘concerns’ within the royal family about how dark Archie’s skin colour might be when he was born.
