Oprah Winfrey’s sensation-causing interview with Prince Harry and the former actress Meghan Markle isn’t scheduled to air in Britain until Monday evening, but that hasn’t stopped the British commentariat from breathlessly weighing in after seeing clips and reading about it. In the interview, Harry and Meghan were candid in their description of an unfeeling palace machine that provided little support for a newcomer to the royal family and of the rifts that have opened up, particularly between Harry and his father, Prince Charles, the heir to the throne. A sampling of reaction so far:Advertisement“It was a very soft-serving, soapy interview in Meghan’s favor,” royal biographer Anna Pasternak told the BBC. Nobody asked her [about] the astonishing fact that she only had one member of her family at her wedding. “We said a year ago, when Harry and Meghan quit the family, that this is going to be a bad decade for the royals,” the group tweeted.
