Top story: Couple say palace failed to protect them
Morning everyone. I’m Martin Farrer and these are the top stories this morning.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have revealed concerns were voiced in the royal family ahead of the birth of their son Archie about what colour skin he might have in a stunning allegation that will send shock waves through the institution. Speaking to Oprah Winfrey in a hotly anticipated broadcast interview, the couple widened the gulf between themselves and the royals as Meghan revealed that she had felt suicidal after she joined the family. It was “almost unsurvivable”, she said, adding that she had felt she “just didn’t want to be alive any more”. Before the couple controversially quit their royal duties to live in the United States, she said palace officials had tried to silence her and had not allowed her to respond to media stories.
