“I mean, we all know that when Meghan and Harry gave the interview on Oprah, which is infamous.
“Although they didn’t plan this, by the time the interview aired, Prince Philip was in hospital. We know that he died shortly afterwards.
“We also know that the interview was like exploding a nuclear weapon in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace.
“What is remembered is that the Queen’s comments. ‘Some recollections may vary’ sums it up very well. But that was absolutely tasteless place to be seen.
“We know that Meghan and Oprah are friends, but to be seen in a place which brought back memories of that interview on that anniversary is just extraordinary.”

“My intentionality is to enjoy this chapter and be able to love through every piece of this as best we can.”
