The world has been buzzing with reactions to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired on Sunday in the US and Monday in the UK.
The interview has caused quite a stir, with many calling it a bombshell that has plunged the palace into one of the most significant crises for decades.
Now, Queen Elizabeth has finally broken her silence on the matter.
In a statement issued by the palace on behalf of Her Majesty, the Queen said that the whole royal family is saddened by how challenging life as senior royals was for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
She also emphasised that Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much-loved family members.
The statement went on to address some of the issues raised in the interview, particularly those related to race, saying that they are concerning and will be addressed by the family privately.

During the interview, Meghan revealed that she was silenced by the institution and denied help when she was suffering a mental health crisis.
She also claimed that a royal family member had raised concerns about what colour their children's skin might be.
Although they didn't want to name the family member, Oprah later revealed that it was not either of Harry's grandparents, Queen Elizabeth or Prince Philip, but Prince William.
Harry also spoke about his relationship with his family members following their royal exit, admitting that there is work to be done with father Prince Charles and brother Prince William.
He mentioned that his father had stopped taking his calls for a while, though they are now working on their relationship again.
Harry said his relationship with Prince William is space at the moment, but he loves him to bits.
The couple also praised the Queen personally in the interview, with Meghan saying she called the Queen after finding out that the Duke of Edinburgh was in hospital.
Harry also mentioned that he had spoken to the Queen more in the last year than in several years previously.
The interview has sparked political reaction, with a Labour MP calling for an investigation into the race comments.
However, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has declined to comment.
Johnson's father, Thomas Markle Sr, also gave his verdict on Good Morning Britain, saying he was saddened by revelations from his daughter's interview and that he was there for her if she wanted to reach out.
The interview has caused a lot of controversy and has led to many discussions about the royal family.
It is clear that there are still issues that need to be addressed within the family, particularly those related to race.
However, it is also clear that Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much-loved family members.
It remains to be seen what the fallout from the interview will be and whether any significant changes will be made within the royal family.
However, one thing is certain – this interview has brought attention to some important issues that need to be addressed.
