The Oprah interview was revealing and sometimes heartbreaking.

Just yesterday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sit down with Oprah for a long-awaited tell-all interview that ended up being more revealing than most expected. It discusses everything from their wedding to Meghan’s treatment by the press and alleged racism aimed at the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan Markle bravely admitted that she struggled with mental health issues that drove her to suicidal thoughts. (If you’ve struggling with suicidal thoughts, here are 13 suicide and crisis intervention hotlines you can use to get help.)
Here are Twitter’s responses to some of the revelations of the interview …
Meghan and Harry actually got married in secret before the public wedding
There was, of course, the wedding on television, but Meghan and Harry apparently also got married in secret earlier. Game of Thrones style …
Kate Middleton made Meghan cry?
Oprah asked Meghan about a story that circulated in the British tabloids and said that Meghan made Kate Middleton cry. It was a strange story that drowned out all sorts of horrible headlines from the infamous tabloid newspaper in the UK.
According to Meghan, it was the other way around. Kate made her cry over complaints about flower girl dresses.
The crown is going to be good
The whole internet has been watching, and responding to the drama of the undoubtedly an incredibly compelling season of The Crown, we would have come this far.
Writers for next season’s Netflix hit The Crown have plenty of new material to work with.
Meghan is related, but did she not Google her future husband?
Many viewers mentioned that Meghan was friendly and that she did an excellent job during the interview, etc.
“Meghan did not google the royal family. Meanwhile, I see a guy in the grocery store and 30 minutes later I will have his great-aunt’s house on Zillow moved up,” a Twitter user joked.
Meghan Markle is incredibly relative because I also do not understand what my job is

Stop taking his calls?
People were shocked at Prince Harry’s revelation that his father, Prince Charles, was no longer taking calls.
Most of the tweets surrounding this interview were reaction shots, exactly like this. To be honest, it makes sense. This was not your typical softball celebrity interview.
The British press
In the aftermath of the interview, the British press, which was particularly appalling about Meghan Markle in particular, began. It was not long before Piers Morgan, a journalist who was particularly critical of Markle, acted.

The rest?
I do not really know how to categorize it or where to place it, so I will just drop it here. Thank you.
