Summary

Sami, Bryan, and Amanda react to Oprah’s bombshell interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. They unpack the special’s most shocking revelations and how closely they mirror Princess Diana’s experience in the Royal Family, while discussing how racism compounded the vitriol Meghan experienced. They discuss allegations that Meghan and Harry “want it both ways” or seemed “disingenuous” by zooming out to the broader role the monarchy plays in British society. Finally, they react to the palace’s refusal to provide emergency mental health treatment during Meghan’s serious mental health episodes and which family member might have inquired after Archie’s skin tone.
