Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah has celebs talking
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan late on Sunday gave their first major TV interview since stepping back from the British royal family a year ago and it's quite the bombshell to say the least.
Meghan admitted to becoming suicidal during her time as a royal, her husband Harry revealed that his father, Prince Charles, had stop taking his calls, and both shared how their son Archie was stripped of a title because the Royals were afraid of his dark skin color.
"Meghan," "Harry," "Princess Diana," and "The Royal Family" are all trending topics on Twitter Monday, with celebs ranging from Serena Williams to Piers Morgan sharing their opinion about the interview. See some of them below:
Serena Williams, U.S. tennis player:
"Meghan Markle, my selfless friend, lives her life - and leads by example - with empathy and compassion. She teaches me every day what it means to be truly noble. Her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she's experienced."
This interview is an absolutely disgraceful betrayal of the Queen and the Royal Family. I expect all this vile destructive self-serving nonsense from Meghan Markle - but for Harry to let her take down his family and the Monarchy like this is shameful. #OprahMeghanHarry pic.twitter.com/F2QDxELSsr

Bille Jean King, former U.S. tennis champion:
"Among the revelations from the Meghan and Harry interview is Meghan's struggle with mental health. Her honesty will hopefully lead to more acceptance and more help for those who need it."
'Star Trek' actor George Takei:
"Maybe they should just make Oprah queen and call it a day."

"You know why Black women believe Meghan? Because we know exactly what micro aggressions look like. And how they slowly drive you insane."
Amanda Gorman, U.S. poet:
"Meghan was the Crown's greatest opportunity for change, regeneration, and reconciliation in a new era. They didn't just maltreat her light--they missed out on it."
