1⃣Meghan said that when she was pregnant, there were "several conversations" in which concerns had been raised about how dark her unborn child’s skin tone might be. Clearly stunned, Ms Winfrey asked: “Who is having that conversation?"
She replied: "That was relayed to me from Harry, those were conversations the family had with him, and I think it was really hard to be able to see those as compartmentalised conversations"
2⃣The Duchess revealed that rather than having made the Duchess of Cambridge cry at Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress fitting, as has repeatedly been reported, in fact her sister-in-law had made her cry
She said the palace’s failure to correct the false version of events portrayed in the media had proved “a turning point”.
Ms Winfrey asked: “Did you make Kate cry?” “No,” came the reply. “The reverse happened”
3⃣The Duchess revealed that when she was pregnant with Archie, she had begun to have suicidal thoughts, suggesting the deterioration of her mental health was triggered by a lack of protection from the Royal Household, and extreme loneliness
“I just didn't see a solution,” she said. Meghan said that her mother, Doria Ragland, and her friends were calling her crying, and saying “Meg, they are not protecting you”
These are just some of the astonishing revelations in the couple's explosive interview. For the full details, read our article below 👇

According to one former employee: "What people fail to understand is Harry's hatred of the media is probably one of the most important things in his life. It is defining for him. So the narrative is always – it’s the press's fault, never theirs"
Multiple royal sources say the former actress “had full control” over her media interviews and had personally forged relationships not only with Ms Winfrey, but other powerful industry figures including Vogue editor Edward Enninful
