Worst-case scenario for the royal family: InoSMI on Meghan and Harry's interview

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey was a huge shock for the British royal family. How the foreign media reacted to the accusations of the duchess and Duke of Sussex against Buckingham Palace – read our article.

On the night of March 8, Kiev time, an interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was released, which caused a huge discussion.

So, in the title of a foreign publication CNN there is a question – will the royal family survive the Queen's departure? The author of the article is convinced that the interview raises the question of maintaining the relevance of the British monarchy in the XXI century. And the statements of Meghan and Harry, which were made in a conversation with Oprah Winfrey, are extremely serious.

"The events revealed in the interview paint a picture of an outdated institution whose lack of flexibility has made it unable to accept people facing problems that are completely normal for public figures in the Twenty – First Century," the CNN article says.

Keith Williams, a leading royal historian and professor at a British university, is quoted in the publication. He says that Harry and Meghan were superstars who could have done a lot for the royal family.

Williams says: the fact that the duchess and Duke of Sussex felt they had no choice but to step down and resign big concern.

The article calls Meghan Markle's accusations of discussing her son's race with the royal family a crushing blow to the British monarchy.

In the correspondent's analysis BBC Johnny Diamond says this is an interview – worst case scenario for the royal family.

Diamond noted that the relationship between the couple and the family was terrible, and this is obvious.

- Megan appears completely alone and abandoned, deprived of the opportunity to meet friends. The palace bureaucracy is blamed for this. Harry describes his family as cold and callous, unable to empathize and preoccupied only with the question of who should pay for what, " the BBC correspondent said in an analysis.

Publication New York Times compared the similarity of the fate of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana.

"History repeats itself, because of the unchanging structure of royal origin and ancient institution – while the prince talked about getting rid of old patterns and finding a new path," the New York Times article says.

Meghan's admission of complaints of loneliness and suicidal thoughts was reminiscent of Diana's account of bulimia and depression that gripped her during her marriage to the Prince of Wales. Both women say they desperately sought help from the family, but were ignored and rejected.
