According to an insider, as soon as those headlines started coming out, and Oprah learned that they'd either exaggerate or downright lied to her, she was furious.

This put a severe dent on Oprah's reputation as one of America's most skilled interviewers and even now, eight months later, it hasn't quite recovered.

Moreover, the insider also claimed that and Meghan's former supporters have started to realize that the couple doesn't practice what they are preaching.

Fans of Winfrey couldn't be more thrilled that she finally realized that Prince Harry and Meghan shouldn't be her friends.

And she has started to distance herself from the couple.

Writing in his new book, Morton said that Harry felt he had to protect Meghan as a result of what happened to his mother, Lady Diana.

He's trying to protect Meghan in the way that he couldn't protect Diana, and I think that's very deeply embedded in his psychology, he wrote.

The biographer also outlined tragic parallels between Meghan and Diana's experiences.

Mr. Morton stated, Diana felt quite suicidal in the early days of her time in the royal family, but she got through it in the end, and I think that Meghan and Harry were not prepared to spend that time.

For Harry, it was either Meghan or the monarchy.

Allegations or rumors of a difficult relationship between Meghan and other royals were widespread and the relationship deteriorated after their marriage in 2018.

While the Sussexes have given regular interviews to the media about their problems with the royal family, the one with most impact was made with Oprah earlier this year where Harry said he had to break the cycle and bring his children up in a different environment.

He was critical of the family while Meghan also alleged a racist incident with a royal who had questioned what color would be the skin of her child when she was pregnant for the first time.

In conclusion, and Prince Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey shocked the world and led to a number of revelations about the royal family.

However, it also caused controversy and damaged the reputations of those involved.

While the couple may have been planning the interview for years, it remains to be seen whether they will continue to speak out against the royal family or try to reconcile with them in the future.
