new baby she added that the intense pressure of wife as a royal drove her to suicidal thoughts prince harry said the royal family has cut them off financially and he says he feels let down by his father prince charles and explosive interview let's go now to our correspondent charles until she is in london charlotte i know this is what everyone is talking about today what's been the reaction in the u.k. . and i have indeed brant is dominated all the front pages all the conversations that way haring with people on the streets this of course is an explosive interview it really was just one allegation after another and just to give you a sense of how big this was. the couple revealed during that interview that the gender of that child that they're expecting a girl they will say said that they actually got married 3 days before the royal wedding that big spectacle that so many of us watched the news revelations alone it

would have been enough to dominate the news agenda here in the u.k. today but no we had a real explosive insight into the some of the in a walk ins of the royal family some of the the relationships the take me between harry and his family and to the world family has this mantra that we all know about never complain never explain and and the royal couple here harry and meghan and did did both in this interview now that detractors will say that they all have density trying to trade on that titles that they have said that they want to step away from the royal family to try and avoid publicist see but here they are one of the most publicized interviewees in decades critics will say say that it was an extremely sensitive time for this interview to go on and when harry's grandfather prince philip is in hospital but not on the other side of the spectrum there are many who feel that whether it's been a real outpouring of support for the couple but taking some of the claims that have

been made by by meghan regarding her treatment regarding some of the same and. jaring had time in the palace one for example we know she said during the interview that that will come to say sions concerns about the color of her unborn child skins they really damning damning claims that and we knew that there were accusations also that meghan bullied members of the staff of booking him palace and you've got this back and forth the world waiting tonight charlotte to see whether or not buckingham palace is going to give an official response how likely is that. you know there is bullying claims came out when the into you had been announced but was yet to be aired and it certainly did raise a few eyebrows that the timing of the claims now we haven't yet have an official response to this interview now it has been edited the us there was some speculation

in the british press that the world family which were frayne from making any kind of immediate comment that just given the nature of these allegations that the feeling now is that they are going to to have to say something to to address some of these of these claims because this it really is what case then are you really for the royal family looking into view they are going to likely have to have to say something whether or not they get involved in a real tit for tat public's walked there remains to be thing yeah i mean it makes you wonder how damaging could these revelations be then for the monarchy i mean people are already comparing what. period meghan to going through to watch princess diana which route they are particularly in light and so with the revelations from meghan about her mental health she said during the interview that she had considered suicide and she got extremely lonely very isolated those are rule claims

that we've heard from from princess diana all those years ago as i'm sure you can remember say things now is certainly rocking the monocacy. once again one saving grace if you are looking at this from the monica perspective is that the queen has at least emerged from this unscathed meghan describing her as being welcoming and we also know as well from oprah winfrey who conducted that interview that it was neither the queen nor prince philip her husband who had made those comments about the skin color born child thanks for not sense there will be some relief on that front. all righty w.'s charlotte chosen pill joining us from london charlotte will be joining me for the day we're going to have transatlantic coverage of this story coming up later this evening charlotte thank you let's get you have to speed now on some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the trial of former u.s. police officer derek show over the killing of george floyd has been delayed until
