3/10 – Please scroll for new updates to this post.
It’s difficult to believe, if you’re reading this, that you weren’t just as glued to the television as we were on Sunday night. After all, this is What Meghan Wore – if you’re here, you likely at least have a modicum of interest in her. Even people who only have a vague hint of knowledge about the royal family tuned in to see Oprah interview Harry and Meghan – it was truly the interview heard around the world.
That said, hashing out the innards of the interview and giving a play-by-play recap seems unnecessary and redundant. It was extremely painful to watch, and we both woke up Monday morning emotionally hungover. We’re disappointed, heartbroken for Harry and Meghan, and, quite frankly, just sad.
To say the Duchess is brave to speak out about her mental health is an understatement. We applaud Meghan for her courageous spirit and we are in her corner.
We would also like to address a topic that has come up several times and was covered in an unaired clip from the interview. Oprah posed a question to Meghan that many have asked in response to Meghan and Harry’s requests for privacy: While dating a royal, shouldn’t there be an expectation that you’re going to lose a certain degree of privacy?
In the clip, Meghan responded:
“I think everyone has a basic right to privacy. Basic. We’re not talking about anything that anybody else wouldn’t expect.”
She went on to say, “If you’re at work and you have a photograph of your child on your desk, and your coworker says, ‘Oh, my gosh, your kid’s so cute. That’s fantastic! Can I see your phone so I can see all the pictures of your child?’ You go, ‘No. This is the picture I’m comfortable sharing with you,'”
Meghan continued, adding to her analogy and demonstrating the lengths that photographers went to invade her own privacy.
“And then if they double down and say, ‘No, but you already showed me that one. So you have to show me everything. You know what, I’m just gonna hire someone to sit in front of your house, or hide in the bushes and take pictures into your backyard, because you’ve lost your right to privacy…because you shared one image with me,'”
Meghan and Harry were not asking for complete privacy, nor were they cordoning themselves from their roles as public figures, as some have claimed.
“They’ve created a false narrative. I’ve never talked about privacy,” Meghan said.
She said the couple was just asking to share the “parts of their lives” they were “comfortable” with giving the public access to—just like the rest of us.
“There’s no one who’s on Instagram or social media that would say, ‘Because I shared this one picture, that entitles you to have my entire camera roll. Go ahead and look through it.’ No one would want that. So it’s about boundaries. And it’s about respect.”
We hope this better explains the Sussex’s wish for privacy. You can see the unaired clip on O Magazine here.
Some of the lighter parts of the interview revealed that the Duke and Duchess are expecting a baby girl in the summertime.
UPDATE 3/10: A touching moment that the Duchess shared during Sunday night’s interview was when she and the Queen had their first joint engagement together in Cheshire, UK, June 2018 — the Queen offered to share her blanket in the car with Meghan to keep their legs warm.
Below are some photos that have emerged of that moment.
In a more relaxed casual setting on the grounds of their home, the couple shared a glimpse of ‘Archie’s Chick Inn‘ and the chickens that they rescued from a factory farm.
While they fed the chickens, with some help from Oprah, Meghan revealed that on May 16, 2018, three days prior to their public wedding, Harry and Meghan were married in a private ceremony with the Archbishop of Canterbury in the couple’s backyard. The framed vows that hang in their home show the couple at their private wedding.
In Meghan’s words —
“Three days before our wedding we got married. We called the archbishop, and we just said, ‘Look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us. It was just the two of us in our back yard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
Since the interview aired on Sunday evening in the US and Monday evening in the UK, there has been an outpouring of support, discussion and comments.
President Biden’s press secretary, Jen Psaki, had this to say —
Meghan Markle is a private citizen, and so is Harry. At this point, for anyone to come forward and speak about their own struggles with mental health and tell their own personal story takes courage – that’s certainly something the president believes in.” Psaki added, “We aren’t going to provide additional commentary from here on behalf of the president or others, given these are private citizens sharing their own story and their own struggles. Let me just reiterate that we have a strong and abiding relationship with the British people and a special partnership with the government of the United Kingdom on a range of issues, and that will continue.”
The UK’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson also commented —
I have always had the highest admiration for the Queen and the unifying role that she plays in our country and across the Commonwealth. As for all other matters to do with the Royal family, I have spent a long time now not commenting on Royal family matters and I don’t intend to depart from that today.”
Today Buckingham Palace released a statement in response to the couple’s interview.
Below are some take-away points from the interview which we felt are important:
- It’s important to delineate between the family (the people we know and can name – the people who make headlines) and “The Firm” (the senior aides, courtiers, and palace staffers who are generally nameless and faceless). The family is certainly not blameless, but, as even Harry and Meghan said in the interview, there are serious flaws within the institution of the monarchy and an obvious need for reform. It seems as though the only way for the British Royal Family to thrive, is is to enact change, and soon, to the best of their ability. We hope that happens to create a more equitable environment that feels safe and productive for all.
- Mental health issues are absolutely, 100 percent real and valid and should never be ignored. Ever. If you or anyone you know need help please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text HOME to 741-741 for free 24-hour support via text in the US. In the UK, text Shout to 85258.
- We generally have tried to avoid this, but henceforth we will absolutely not be using any inappropriate photos or verbiage from any tabloid publications that support this vicious, demeaning cycle. We here at What Meghan Wore want to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
- Even though the Duchess is no longer a working member of the royal family, we will continue to report on her wardrobe, her work, and her life, always aiming to do so in a respectful manner. We hope that shows in our posts. We have a feeling that the best is most definitely yet to come for her.
- We would like to remind all new and current followers that we absolutely will not tolerate any disrespect towards the Duchess (or Harry, or Archie, or forthcoming baby girl). We have a strict zero-tolerance comment policy (which can be found here) for our website and social media accounts that we will continue to uphold.

Sarah says
I came across this post just a couple of days ago and have been ruminating over the comments since then. I find it understandable that no criticism of Meghan and Harry is allowed on this site, which is, after all, dedicated to Meghan and her fashion.
I do wonder, however, why the same courtesy is not extended to the Royal Family. The harsh comments and vicious insults some posters felt free to express towards the Royal Family were shocking and difficult to read. Surely we all want courtesy and compassion to predominate on a website dedicated to Meghan, whose Archewell core purpose is to “unite communities, one compassionate act at a time”?
WhatMeghanWore says
Hi Sarah, Our obvious focus here at WMW, as you know, is Meghan’s Fashion and charitable work. Sometimes other topics pop up, such as this one, where we feel we need to do some sort of post. It’s a tough decision and at times requires long conversations between myself and Rachel before we go ahead with anything. While we hope this is the last time we do a post on such a sensitive topic, we expect it won’t be the last unfortunately.
That being said, you do make a valid point. Healthy conversations are encouraged – agreeing to disagree with others and being respectful. There is critiquing, having a respectful opinion and then outright being mean. It’s been very difficult deciding at times what to allow and not to allow in terms of comments, particularly with regards to this post. Again, we’ve had many long conversations over publishing comments — what to allow and not to allow. Some valid points, citing facts, have been brought up by others and we’ve allowed those comments to be published. We’ll go back review the comments again to be sure we haven’t missed something we feel is extremely out of line. Our apologies if we have.
Thanks, Susan and Rachel
Lauren from the Sunshine State says
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your note. I feel that it is very important for all of us royal fans to connect on these important topics, regardless of whether we agree.
Personally, I am plenty critical of Meghan and Harry, but I also believe the meat of their statements made during the Oprah interview. Is it possible that some statements were slightly spun by either or both of them? Yes. But do I believe that Meghan lied about being suicidal? No.
Do I also believe that racist comments–inadvertently made or willfully intended–were made by members of their family? Yes. I would like to share some personal experiences, to clarify my position a bit. I am a multiracial woman who is very different from my husband’s family, in terms of my ethnicity, my religious upbringing, and my view of the world. I have experienced many scenarios where my husband’s family have made casually racist comments about me and my family. The majority of these comments were not made in the spirit of overt aggression, but they are, regardless, microaggressions, and they display implicit or explicit bias within my family, whom I consider to include my in-laws. I do not hate or disrespect my family. On the contrary, I very much love them and care for them. Do I **gently** call out this kind of hurtful behavior when it happens? Yes. Because I love them and want them in our lives, and in our kids’ lives. There are obviously many differences between my situation and Meghan and Harry’s situation with Harry’s family, but I would hope that the core reason that they decided to share the truth is due to their love for their family, not their disrespect of it. Maybe this is a naive view for me to take. It is entirely possible! Thank you for commenting, and I hope you will continue to do so in the future! <3

A well written piece in the Atlantic

Dawn C says
That is an interesting article and addressed what I was thinking when Meghan spoke of her naivete regarding the Firm and the job. She wasn’t 19 when she married Harry and is not stupid so the only thing I can think is she was so happy to have found a kindred spirit in what they advocate for that it would all work out. And Harry not educating his fiance on how the Firm works? It just seems weird that these things weren’t addressed at all before they got married. Eh, they’re happy so I guess that’s what matters.
Allison Esposito says
My first reactions have been of horror and shock and they continue! I now realize more than ever that the RF may be more like dolls that are moved around by the “palace insiders,” courtiers, aides, or whatever. This gives me more compassion than I have had for those who have not come to Meghan’s defense in any manner. I believe that Meghan was too much liked by (some of) the public and the insiders felt it was important to keep the light always on the heirs. I noticed the attempt to “change the subject” before the Australian tour ended and thought it was incredibly rude and hostile (to break up the Royal Foundation). I doubt there is much control by any of the RF. When Kate came out to view the protest, she almost had to run. I don’t know if it was decided she should do that or if she just jumped up and went for it. I feel so sorry for the members who cannot decide to spend their life as a teacher or actor or doctor. Regarding Meghan, “they” are still trying to make her the bad guy. The “investigation” is beyond outrageous. Seems like her BIL or FIL would do something, but no doubt the insiders and leakers have decided it is part of her punishment. I don’t understand why Harry’s immediate family is so cruel — his previous two girlfriends did not want to marry into the palace; why can’t he have a family and have good relations with the RF like Zara, Peter, Eugenie, Bea, and Edward’s children? This is the most dysfunctional situation I have seen in a long time. They were very brave to release that interview, and I always believe Meghan!!
Reader from Los Angeles says
Dear Susan and Rachel,
I very much appreciate the work you do here on WMW and really enjoy checking in once in a while to see what Meghan’s wardrobe selections are for her public appearances. I’ve followed her closely since her days on Suits (I worked at the company that launched and renewed the series for 7-seasons) and have friends and colleagues who attended the stunning and (as we now know) for-the-public-and-second, marriage ceremony in England.
After seeing the interview and reading lots of the follow up (posts on Twitter as well as articles and opinion pieces in the NYT, LA Times, WaPo, etc.), I realize that my reaction to the Oprah interview isn’t one that has been widely shared, at least publicly, so I thought I’d share it here. I hope the inclusiveness of your site extends to those who have what appears to be a minority opinion.
In the aftermath of Sunday night, it’s fair to say that the large US audience was generally sympathetic to M & H and certainly anyone watching was moved by some of the stories shared. But I was disappointed and have found it hard to reconcile the simple idea that this wonderful couple, who are clearly and by any measure leading a charmed and lovely life in their lush and exclusive Montecito neighborhood, the parents of a healthy and adorable young son with an infant daughter on the way, focused so much on sharing their perceived injustices of the past rather than talking about specific ways they plan to move forward, free of the House of Windsor, such as through their Archewell Foundation.
It was a missed opportunity that could have elevated their mission at a time when so many Americans are suffering through Covid-19 deaths and loss of jobs, homelessness, racial injustice, edcuation crises. I mean the list of challenges goes on and on. Meghan has said many times “Be the change you want to see in the world” but what I saw was someone ruminating the past and feeling sorry for herself. It was uncomfortable, as the interview came to a close, to realize that the narrative was going to end having been primarily about Meghan’s suffering: Meghan Markle’s suffering (?) rather than the millions of people who are truly suffering. People who don’t have devoted partners, $15MM homes, $4,000 dresses, billionaire neighbors named Oprah, healthy children, Mothers who dote on them, or even jobs.
I’m not diminishing what I’m sure for her were painful episodes. I don’t pretend to understand the abhorrence of racism or racist comments. But the truth is, I believed Meghan to be much stronger than she came across in the interview. I have perceived her to be a strong and savvy woman, someone who made it through Hollywood’s demoralizing actor’s maze to achieve a level of celebrity that brought her to the attention of a real life Prince. A woman with the smarts and glamourous looks to marry him on the world stage and manage tough in-laws as a successful, globe-trotting Duchess. A woman who experienced the beautiful gift of motherhood at age 38 and will now again at nearly 40 — in short, a winner. A woman, a bi-racial woman, who scaled nearly unimaginable professional and personal heights and who has inspired tens of millions around the world. And that’s just not the person I saw on Sunday night, to my dismay.
The worst part about it may be that I don’t think it ‘cleared the air’ in any way. It was an airing of greivances, some petty, that may now lead instead to years of litigious and painful negotiations. They will likely continue to be hurt by reading everything they say they don’t pay attention to…by suing and filing petitions and generally living in a place of wounded victimhood, a place they do not belong.
Let it go, Meghan Markle! Be free on your nearby slice of the Pacific Ocean in the SoCal sunshine, with your besotted and handsome husband and beautiful children, and enjoy your rare and wonderful life!
Dawn C says
I appreciate and agree with some of what you said, but as I’ve pointed out to others in a different forum, it doesn’t matter if what she went through makes any sense to us, what matters is she felt like life wasn’t worth living. If you’ve ever been pregnant you know hormones jack you up six ways from Sunday. Add the stress of what she was dealing with in getting no support from the Firm or the Family and things can spiral quickly. I’ve been depressed to the point of suicide (many years ago) and it doesn’t make sense even when you’re living it. Just because a person has privilege doesn’t mean they aren’t affected by life.
My biggest issue was she didn’t assert herself to learn about the family and job she was marrying into, and she admitted her naivete. And Harry seemingly told her nothing. Did no one learn from the Waity Katie years and prepare this girl? Specifically Kate? Some of this I find hard to believe but if that’s how it went then so be it, but for someone as independent as she is its hard to reconcile.
I think the BRF need to stop acting as if saying nothing means nothing is happening. We’re in the digital age, the social media age, when tabloids will pay people to lie about them or just make stuff up as coming from “palace sources” and sell it as truth. The Family needs to put a stop to it by not feeding the beast and condemning the tabloids. I believe this is what H&M are trying to achieve. Make people aware of what is really going on by telling their side of the story and likely forcing the Family to deal with the issue. Until now they weren’t able to speak for themselves. There are always two sides and truth on both sides. Telling your side isn’t victim mentality unless you park there and pull out the hammock and a camera to record, share and relive your every moment of pain and suffering for all to see. JMHO
Maureen says
Such a complex subject! but I do think that standing up to tabloid press (lies, spying, phone tapping etc) is much more important than simply a litigious airing of personal grievances. H&M have won a notable victory over the Daily Mail, which ‘sources’ say the paper is finding humiliating and painful (not to say expensive). The UK tabloids are incredibly powerful and will do all they can to exploit H&M in the most hurtful way. Fighting for a better, more honest press is not about wounded victimhood. It is a cause and I wish them strength and courage in a long battle. And as for the Royal Family. Well, I shouldn’t even begin. But for those with an interest (and not much historical knowledge) I recommend reading everything that Diana Spencer, Margaret Windsor and Marion Crawford have had to say about them. Their world view (begun by Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon) is nasty, selfish, cold, frightened, exclusive, petty, tyrannical and vicious. Born into power and unimaginable wealth, they struggle to fight off investigation and accountability. Witness the protection of Prince Andrew.
Lauren from the Sunshine State says
Hi Reader from Los Angeles and all others in this community,
I found your comments extremely interesting, nuanced, and sophisticated. I will also say that Dawn C’s response reinforces the fact that Meghan was suicidal. That is the general, verbalized takeaway from their interview with Oprah. The heavily intimated takeaway was that structural racism baked into the complex relationship between the Palace machine and the British tabloids, combined with jealousy within the family, yielded a noxiously toxic, unsustainable environment. Effect and cause, if you will.
I believe Meghan and Harry. I also believe that they are sensitive people who felt betrayed by the heavily colonialist and white supremacist system that was designed to ruthlessly protect its principals at the expense of other members of the family. Who else matters besides the monarch, and the direct heirs to the throne? Not many others, from the Palace’s perspective. If predatory Prince Andrew presents an existential threat to the British monarchy’s preservation, the system would always deflect and push their perceived lesser dramas of the Sussexes vs. the Cambridges for tabloid fodder. They miscalculated. Big time. Unfortunately for all parties, such decisions proved myopic at best and may potentially accelerate the monarchy’s total irrelevancy over the course of future decades. In the court of public opinion, the Palace is culpable in its own potential demise. Why? By not protecting Meghan as one of its principals in the future King Charles’ slimmed-down monarchy.
I predicted that Meghan and Harry would use the latter portion of the interview to launch Archewell, or to at least prime their global audience for the launch of this new organization. I also believe that they are building their own version of a global social media platform geared towards super-scaled, crowdsourced community service–a truly remarkable vision, if that is the case. I agree that I wished they could have teased Archewell a bit more. My money is on a massive surprise launch later in 2021 or early 2022, given the mitigating factors of building a tech apparatus, a newborn baby girl (!!!! yay!), and the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
My hope is that they find comfort in finally discussing their experience, and that they move on. I resolutely agree with you on that front. I think they will, but this intense psychological fracturing requires time in order to allow for healing.
Maureen says
I should have explained that tapping your open palm against your thigh is signing for ‘dog’!
Maureen says
I echo all the appreciative comments of this site. Like others here I find this a safe place to follow my interest in Meghan. As a mixed race woman who grew up in London, attending a rather snobbish girls only school, there is much I could say about UK racism and the royal family, but I have made most of those comments to the New York Times. Here I would like, if possible, to share something much more lighthearted. Has anyone noticed that in the little clip of Archie on the beach, he is signing?! As their labrador, Pula, runs around them, Archie enthusiastically taps his left hand on his thigh. So we can be pretty sure that Meghan and Harry have been bringing Archie up with the help of baby-signing! My oldest grandson had the same thing – it’s a wonderful, wonderful way of communicating with a child long before they can talk.
Patty says
I think any comparisons between the Duchess of Sussex and Wallis Simpson really need to stop. (Even if you’re just talking fashion.)
note admin edit
WhatMeghanWore says
Yes, the comparisons of Meghan’s and Wallis’ dresses are pure coincidental. I don’t think someone just found a photo and started comparing it. They are two very different people and different circumstances. – SC
Bridget says
Thank you very much for kind comment. I for one as a non-British citizen have been appalled at the media treatment this woman has to endure. The BRF seems like a rather dusty enterprise these days. I find the policy of not commenting on anything as very outdated. It seems as if they think that all their royal privileges mean that they must endure the most vile attacks and outright lies about their characters. That must be a hard NO going forward.
Family squabbles is something most of us are familiar with, but the whole thing has been very undignified and could have been handled much better. I hope somebody learns from all this.
Amanda says
SO well said!!!
Amelie says
Thank you for this post, it was very thoughtful and very compassionate. Like everyone, my heart broke for Harry and Meghan and the difficult decision they made to leave the UK for their own safety and sanity. It’s so disappointing that things could have turned out so differently as they both made it clear they were prepared to stay and serve for their whole lives. At the time, it may have seemed like their decision was abrupt and sudden and it was all pinned on Meghan with the ugly sexist term “Megxit” but I knew from the outset it was due to the brutal and racist treatment Meghan suffered at the hands of the media. And well, Harry highlighted the letter from the female members of Parliament supporting Meghan and the total radio silence from his own family of the racist abuse she faced in the press. The Windsors have a lot of soul-searching to do (though from history repeating itself they never seem to learn). I cried when Meghan admitted just how low she had gotten and her thoughts of self-harm because I could relate to a particularly low point in 2019. The way she expressed it really hit home and anyone who has been in her shoes knows how that feels.
There is a distinction to be made between the Firm and family members but sometimes both are at fault, not just one or the other. Meghan and Harry said as much in their interview. It was nice to have confirmation that Harry and Meghan have a good relationship with his grandparents. The fact they shared so much was very brave of them and only Oprah could have gotten as much as she did.
Anyways, I appreciated the glimpse of Archie, the sharing of the baby’s gender, and Harry and Meghan’s overall candidness. I hope in time they are able to mend fences with family and I can’t wait to see what they do next.
Nathalie says
I love her (them) and I applaud you. Well said, you all! I too think the best for her is yet to come and I am looking forward to it. She has been inspiring me so much and I don’t want her to stop. She is so articulate. She a queen ?
G says
An interesting parallel was made elsewhere between Meghan’s dress and the one worn by Wallis Simpson in an old picture. There’s an interesting symbolism there…
WhatMeghanWore says
Hi G – we’ve read and seen the photos of the similarities between Meghan’s dress and that of the one Wallis Simpson wore. We did include this information in our post about Meghan’s Armani lotus flower dress here – https://whatmeghanwore.net/meghan-in-armani-for-forthcoming-oprah-interview/: “A Town & Country’s article pointed out that the lotus flower is associated with rebirth and spiritual enlightenment. Their piece highlighted the resilience of the flower and its ability to flourish despite seemingly challenging conditions. More from Town & Country below.
“With its roots latched in mud, it submerges every night into river water and miraculously re-blooms the next morning, sparklingly clean. In many cultures, this process associates the flower with rebirth and spiritual enlightenment.” The piece continues: “With such refusal to accept defeat, it’s almost impossible not to associate this flower with unwavering faith. Although cultures have largely dubbed the lotus as a spiritual figurehead, it is most emblematic of the faith within ourselves.””
Thanks, Susan C
Dawn C says
Watching Meghan as she talked about her depression and suicidal thoughts and feelings hit me like a category five hurricane. I am a 13-year survivor of two very real suicide attempts that stemmed from deep depression caused by a person and circumstances in my life back then. After getting the help I needed I have thrived and can’t be more thankful I lived, but its still tough at times to reconcile that part of my life and when I hear a story like hers it brings a lot of emotions up. I’m really glad she spoke her truth about how she was ignored by HR (who knew there was a human resources office for FAMILY?!) and exposed the lengths the Firm (not necessarily the Family) will go to in order to protect itself (and again not necessarily the Family.) I am beyond thankful Harry got his family the heck out of that environment.
Speaking of Harry, I have mad respect for him. He spoke the truth of what happened with both the Firm and his family but he never threw his family under the bus, namely his father and brother. He said they were trapped in the institution of the monarchy and they really are as direct heirs to the throne. I thought Oprah was being a bit naive about RF members being able to do whatever they want, or she was trying to provoke a response. As a world-wide recognized celebrity herself she should understand that to a degree.
I think this part of the interview brought up a subject I suspect is truer than any of us realize and that is, the royals are not in charge of anything when it comes to how they live their lives. They have people left and right telling them what they’ll be called (titles), where to go, who to talk to, events to attend, clothing to wear, etc. They’re basically micro managed to the nth degree by palace officials and courtiers. The family is The Face of the Firm but they don’t run it, it runs them and all it takes is one misstep and the palace calls the dogs (tabloids/media) on them and as Meghan said, “They create the story.” So Harry was right, his family is trapped. That’s no excuse for how any of them have treated H&M but they’re victims of the system just the same. That ridiculous statement the palace released in response to Meghan’s calls for help was not written by the Queen. I just don’t see it. Who knows how long its been, if ever, she has truly spoken for herself.

LadyLeah says
Thank you for this compassionate response to Meghan & Harry’s interview. You expressed much of what I am feeling and I have been frustrated with this “all or nothing” privacy argument that keeps getting repeated (elsewhere). Basic respect and boundaries shouldn’t have to be something that they have to fight for.
A beautiful and powerful response to a very difficult situation. I continue to stand by Meghan & Harry and I am so happy we have a joyful place here to celebrate Meghan and her good work, as well as her wardrobe.
Well done, ladies at WMW.
