diana. >> the british royal family is bracing for what harry and meghan might say in their new interview with oprah winfrey. >> i knew instantly it was going to be very controversial. >> and it was. in an interview with oprah on cbs, harry and meghan painted a damning portrait in life in the monarchy, and meghan said she had become suicidal. >> i said i needed to go somewhere to get help because i never felt this way before and i need to go somewhere, and i was told that i couldn't, it would not be good for the institution. >> they spoke about racism they faced, even from within the royal family. >> hold up, hold up. >> there's several conversations -- >> there's a conversation with you -- >> with harry.

>> -- about how dark your baby is going to be? >> potentially, and what that would mean or look like. >> viewers were shocked, and the royal family was left reeling. >> the royal family were horrified by the oprah interview, and very hurt. >> the allegations were harsh. >> is it possible she had wanted to leave kensington palace and have an in-patient treatment and that would have been really frowned on by the royal family? >> i don't think there's any way that the royal family would have frowned on any kind of in-patient treatment for mental health. >> you have spoken to your brother since the interview -- >> we saw william upset about the comments about the racism -- >> we're very much not a racist family. >> they made it clear that if there is anything to explore further or issues to address

there in terms of race, then they will do that privately. >> it's not what is wrong with you, it's what happened to you. >> in may apple tv plus produce add docu series called the me you can't see about mental health, and harry opened up more about a lack of support he felt from his family as he and meghan struggled. >> i thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence or total negligent. we spent four years trying to make it work, and we did everything we possibly could to stay there and carry on doing the role and doing the job. >> he said the fear of history repeating itself is what pushed him to leave the monarchy. >> i then had a son, who i would far rather be solely focuseded on rather than every time i look

in his eyes wondering whether my wife will end up like my mother and i will have to look after him myself. >> there's so much hurt on both sides, i think it will take a long time for this rift to heal. >> prince philip's funeral was not the place to have deep conversations. they were all there to support the queen. but as harry has said, he loves his brother, and they have been hell together. >> i think in time we will see the royal family heal. >> time will tell how the fractured relationships recover, but one thing is certain. whatever harry and meghan do with their future, they will do it their way.
