but the queen is the head of that institution, isn't she? the queen is the head of it.y, but they trashed quite a lot of what she reigns over. yes, they absolutely did. so, they did in one sense, in more than one sense, you know, really reveal what it was like for them in this institution. and as you said, the queen is the head of it. i suspect they were trying to find a real balance of talking about the institution, but then separating how they felt about the queen. and read it as it is. for me, i felt that they really opened up. i think it was a bombshell interview, absolutely. for me, personally, i thought it was going to be more about the british tabloid press, and not so much about prince charles, william, kate and in particular, obviously, their relationship with the queen. so, i think, right now, we just have to wait and see if the royalfamily will come out and say anything, but i suspect the royal family will do what it has always done, and it will deploy its greatest ally, which is silence. i'm a big believer that time heals all things, and i suspect the royal

it sounds as though the queen is trying to send a hidden message to the sussexes.he queen in london, the sussexes on the west coast of america, it has been coincidental it's turned out like that because the queen's commonwealth broadcast has been planned for weeks if not months. it's coincidental that it's going out today. they found out of course that the sussexes have recorded the oprah winfrey interview and they were planning to transmit that in the early hours of tomorrow morning. thanks to this rather bizarre coincidence, we are getting this alternative image of what royalty is all about. so, the queen and other members of the royalfamily, including the cambridge�*s, in prerecorded messages on bbc one tonight anchored from westminster abbey, but the queen talking about the pandemic. and it is a result of the difficulty the commonwealth has faced that it is necessary to keep in touch with family. it isn't that coded message about the sussexes. let's have a listen, she talks about reflecting on a time like no other. the testing times experienced by so many have

like, rally behind the queen. new fiuures like, rally behind the queen.e queen. new figures are showing people in the uk are sharply divided. let's look at you—gov survey of almost 5000 people in the uk after the interview was broadcast. the age divide is stark. in one question, to 18—24 year olds were asking how they see harry and meghan�*s treatment. 13% said fairly. 61% unfairly. and 26% said they didn't know. now look at how those over the age of 65 responding to the same question. 50% thought meghan and harry were treated fairly by the royal family. 15% think they've been treated unfairly. 35% said they didn't know. march difference between younger and older adults. the bbc�*s home editor, mark easton, looks at how damaging the couple's revelations are to the monarchy. over the course of 70 years, the queen has guided the monarchy from empire to black lives matter. in the zist empire to black lives matter. in the 21st century she represents a uniting figurehead for people of all cultures. accusations of racism at the heart of the royal family could r

this is very - much a statement by and from the queen. very precisely, this isjust 61 queen. she uses language very precisely, this is just 61 words but within that you can sense a fusion of her roles as head of state and as a grandmother or indeed is a great grandmother, and the palace could have been more combative and they could have pushed back more firmly against the sussex version of events but clearly they don't want a ball of words, so it is a conservatory and reaching out, it is empathetic —— they don't want a war of words. it is gently challenging, the phrase, some recollections may vary, well, you bet they do. within the palace that is an understatement, i think to put it mildly, but there is an acknowledgement of the seriousness and the significance of the issues. the issues raised especially those of race are concerning. they hope people will give them credit for their decades of work they have done, the prince of work they have done, the prince of wales in particular, on diversity and equality but beyond that they want to wo

the queen is breaking her silence. response is not silencing critics. >> reporter: this morning crisis talks are reportedly under way at the palace. after prince harry and meghan markle revealed race and mental health contributed to the tense relation shipt ship with the royal family. >> there's a lot that has been lost already. >> the interview dominating. the headlines. royal sadness and recollections may vary. taking words from the queens short statement. which reads the whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for harry kp meghan. >> the rare response after she claimed the royal family refused to get her help when she had suicidal thoughts ask claiming conversations within the family about how dark the baby's skin might be. >> he won't be given security. not given a title. and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. >> what? >> the queen's statement didn't address the specific accusations but said the issues raised are

we know the queen spoke to meghan, meghan rain to the queen when prince philip was admitted to hospital on the health of prince philip. it is bad timing when you look at it to have a 99—year—old member of the royal family in hospital while this interview is being aired and all the speculation. of course, in britain, there is a great deal of affection for the royalfamily, especially the queen. not from everyone, a lot of people think we should abolish the monarchy, but a lot of people do love the royal family and especially at this moment when the queen's husband is out in hospital. there are a lot of raised eyebrows about the timing of this interview being broadcast. so i think harry and meghan are more divisive here than they are in the us. we saw sophie saying that there's been a great outpouring of sympathy for the couple in america. here, it's more complicated, it's more controversial. people are rallying about it on television, on social media. so it's not as simple here and i think harry and meghan will be fully prepared for that because we know they have had quite a lot of negati

the queen statement issued today is very short, it is 61 words long.family" three times. i think that's very significant. the good book says blessed are the peacemakers, and the queen as a peacemaker. she is trying to put oil on troubled waters, and that is what is needed here in the situation. >> shannon: she did mention how much she loves harry, megan, and archie. and how that will not change. "the wall street journal" has an opinion piece, the headline "megan and terry, aristocratic victims of our time." our elites pervading their grievances and preoccupations for the masses, issuing a call for the ordinary people to do better to acknowledge their own sinfulness. what is the average brit's take? >> i believe in the principle of -- what most brits do -- life is ups and downs, but you don't get better, you get better. you learn more from the valleys than the hilltops. to air your dirty linen in public is not the way forwards, especially if you are going to gain financially from it. i just don't think this is the right way. the queen is genuine and her

this is pretty quick for the queen. know in america and especially in this day of digital, you know, and online responses, you might think it's a long time. this is actually really quick for the royal family. i actually think they've done the right thing by keeping, you know, if i was to advise them in damage control, in keeping the message short. and i think it's very powerful that it comes from the queen because as you might remember, in the interview harry said that he's always had a very close relationship with the queen, and it sounds like he's been communicating with her all the way through. so i think that's really powerful. so, you know, but it's -- here's the thing. one of the things, let me just say that i have really noticed talking about this issue here in the states, in the uk, and i've done some australian television. i cannot use -- i don't use the term "systemic racism" in britain because it goes over 90% of people's heads. in england, racism is someone coming up to you in the street, calling uyou the n-

behind the queen.he queen. opponents of the majority, i have no doubt, will point to this episode, point to that interview. they will rub their hands and point to them as further evidence that this institution has become or is becoming something of an anachronism. and it might be thought to be rather curious that it is thanks to two members of the family deciding to do this interview that that has arisen.— deciding to do this interview that that has arisen. nicholas witchell, thank yom — let's return to our main story. millions of school children in england have returned to their classrooms for the first time this year. it follows months of home schooling because of the pandemic. mass covid testing is under way in secondary schools where teenagers are also wearing face coverings in class. it's the first step in the easing of the lockdown in england that has been in place since january. some primary school children began returning to school in northern ireland today — whilst some younger pupils in wales

it might suggest they're listening to the queen. they respect the queen.suggest that maybe they have opened those lines of communication again which would be good news because i think i don't know what your interpretation is, don, but meghan wants to change things. she doesn't want the monarchy to be a white institution. >> you cannot escape the similarities when it comes to harry's mother diana and now meghan speaking about how isolated they were. listen to this and then we'll talk about it. >> do you really believe that a campaign was being waged against you? >> yes, i did. absolutely. >> why? >> i was a problem. full stop. never happened before. what do we do with her? >> it was during that part of my pregnancy especially that i started to understand what our continued reality was going to look like. >> what kind of protection did you want that you feel you didn't receive? >> i mean, they would go on the record and negate the mostly dig louse story for anyone, right? i'm talking about things that are super artificial and inconsequential. but the narrati

was it the queen? was it prince charles? talking to? >> they were talking directly to the royal family. this was payback. meghan started off almost tap dancing through a minefield, not wanting to say anything too explosive, being very careful to compliment the queen. but when they start talking about taking titles away who do you think does that? the queen is the ultimate boss. so to me this was almost an act of war on the royal family. the relationship is fractured. this was blowing it much further apart. there's clearly a lot of bitterness and resentment, but it was their pain was so real and conveyed so well. this is a turning point in history for the royal family. they may need to change their entire policy of answering these things because they have so many questions to answer. >> yeah, that was going to be my next question. there's a tradition of not answering every slur or every wrong story or every truthful story, that there's a tradition of silence within the royal family. so do you think they need to answer every -

the queen quickly took her under her wing. there was a successful joint visit to chester.id the queen had always made herfeel welcome. she loved being in her company, she said. but the relationship with catherine, the duchess of cambridge, was evidently more complicated. at one point, there were newspaper stories that meghan had made catherine cry. in fact, meghan said, it was catherine who made her cry but the palace never corrected the stories. it was a moment, meghan said, when things changed. "they were willing to lie to protect other members of the royalfamily but they weren't willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband," she said. listen, did you hear that? and then to another extraordinary claim concerning their son archie. in the months before his birth, meghan said there had been discussions about his status and security, and, she says, there was a comment from a family member about the colour of his skin. in those months when i was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given security, he's not going t

tonight at 6pm: the queen says she is saddened to learn how challenging the last few years have been for prince harry and meghan more than 2a hours after the interview was first aired, king palace has responded, saying the issues raised particularly about race are concerning. the palace says some recollections may very that will be taken seriously and will be addressed privately by the family. we will get statements from the palace. also on tonight's programme: warnings of another surge in coronvirus infections if lockdown is lifted too fast with millions of children now back at school. all the modelling suggests there is going to be a further surge, and that will find the people who either have not been vaccinated or where the vaccine has not worked. and some of them will end up in hospital, and sadly some of them will go on to die. all change for the bafta film award nominations — the british film rocks is a surprise frontrunner as diversity leads the way this year. and a rare chunk of the meteor that lit up the skies over europe last week is found in front of a family's home in gl

shannon: how does the queen deal with it?nce philip has been ill and undergone major surgery, he's been hospitalized, he is 99 years old and there are those who worry that she and philip are very hurt that their grandson would go public with these claims and things that could be very hurtful. >> the queen has done it the right way. a very short statement today but in that statement she mentions the word family three times. she emphasizes the fact that megan is not an outcast but is still part of the royal family but not working royal. she hasn't been discarded. the queen is showing love after all the hate and vitriol. that is the way forward. the queen is showing us all an example. >> she's very reserved, she's been to world war ii, followed communism, has seen it all and has persevered. let's look at the family finding common ground in this too. good to have you back, thank you for getting up early across the pond. in tonight's real news roundup the first independent probe shows, quote, clear and convincing evidence the chin

it clearly comes from the queen herself. she apparently stopped a statement being released last night because she wasn't happy with it and she wanted more time to think about it. her character is all over it especially where she talks about harry, meghan and archie being much loved members of the family. there's some significant words that they want to address this privately. that is her saying no more airing of dirty laundry in public. we want this behind closed doors. at the same time, there's the nod to the fact that there may be another side of the story here when they talk about not all recollections are recognized within the palace. i think that's them saying very agendaly that they don't agree everything that they said and they take issue with some of it. what the queen wants to do now is draw a line under it and not talk about it anymore. if you contrast it with the statement that buckingham palace puts out a couple weeks ago when before this issue went out where there were allegations against meghan markle, that was

they've had black queens before in england. they've had them as recent as the wife of prince of king charles iii who as you know he smoked in the revolutionary war. queen charlotte, who descended from the african line, from the portuguese royal family. i don't think it's about race at all. it's about sustaining the rile blood line through the queen. now, prince waters, would i have handled it this way? absolutely not. i wouldn't have done oprah. i would have shut my mouth, collected my mean and not thrown these hand grenades in my grandmother's lap whose husband is in the hospital right now. so a little advice from a commoner. maybe not -- don't go on oprah, okay? try that. >> yeah. go on water's world. >> yeah. we're going to treat you fairly. >> you, bongino and matt gaetz. a roundtable. >> how did you know who i booked? >> i read everything. >> she made a between tweep one kind of royalty and another royalty. hollywood royalty, you love it better. things are bad for andrew cuomo. now his brother, chris is making matters wors

said no it was not appropriate so that chimes with the general polls that always tell you that the queen is very very popular in britain but that actually harry and makan are much less popular generally within the public and it's very divisive this interview just over all so many secrets where spilled there was so much detail about life inside the palace and people are really divided as team wins oh who say that harriet magen all self-serving and that was whining and talking about authenticity while being in their luxury mention in california you know very negative and then others are saying it's good that they speak out and that meghan maka for example speaks out and is not allowing herself to be silenced as a black woman so very very polarizing. time a polarizing one thing that really stood out in the interview was the allegation of racism in the royal family let's listen in to that part and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. what and who who is having that conversation with you. it's a hold on hold out there is out there are several conver

she's driving to meet with the queen and someone says "do you know how to curtsy?" to her. so you understand how helpless and hemmed in she was. on the other hand, this was a very big rift and it's very important people and it's also family. and some of it sounds very sinister and some of it sounds like most everybody�*s family. a word on oprah as an interviewer. oprah handled this amazingly. i don't think she knew she was going to hear all of this. maybe she knew more than we think. but she handled it like a friend and she handled it like a very skilled journalist. by the time harry came out she knew exactly what the world would be talking about, that they would be talking about his wife saying she wanted to kill herself and that she still had to dress up and go out and smile. they'd be asking harry, they never said anything to meghan, but they said to you, do you know what the skin colour will be your baby? and harry said it didn'tjust offend him because it was his wife, it offended him because it affects people around the world and it didn't reflect how welcome m
