always look for the grown in idaho seal. >>> this morning, prince charles did have an opportunity to prince harry and meghan made in that interview with oprah winfrey. he did not take that chance. you can watch it here. >> can i ask, what did you think of the interview? >> thank you, everyone. >> that was at a london vaccination center. prince charles leaving without answering that question. no word yet from the palace either, poppy, on the interview. >> that's right. with us from windsor, cnn anchor and royal correspondent max foster and selma abdulazeez. thank you for being on this story that the world is talking about. max, let me begin with you. the interview aired a night later in the uk than here in the u.s. that was last night. so everyone there has seen it now. still, no word from the palace? i wonder how long it can remain silent. >> well, they communicate in mystical ways, poppy, as you know. today was a bit of a statement in its own right. prince charles being out and about. this was a diary arrangement. it had been there for some time and he carried on with it. he didn't

that harry for example isn't talking will hasn't been talking about areas points to his father prince charles and those revelations that you mentioned regarding regarding race which were particularly inflammatory now there is some anger aimed at harry and meghan for doing this interview among royal supporters something it's insensitive to do this interview to get this published see while harry's grandfather the queen's husband he's in hospital that's caused a considerable amount of i guess some people as well saying that the suffixes hereon meghan all time to have their cake and eat it essentially trying to step back from the royal family but still try and remain in the limelight and essentially trade on a rural family name then there are those particularly across the atlantic in the u.s. and headlines and reactions that we've seen that you really do sympathize for the couple who say essentially this is history repeating itself that this is not a woman who is married into the royal family after of course harry's mother princess diana who was being treated extruding they 'd badly i think a lot

so they're effectively blaming prince charles, i think, for the split and their move to california. a say in all of this. he does run, you know, all the funding for the su sessexes ande cambridges. it was their money they're living off. it's a quite complicated decision, but it wasn't necessarily the queen's decision on her own. prince charles was intimately involved in all of it. >> kate, what i thought of watching it, for any little girl who has ever dreamed of being a princess, for any grown woman who swooned at the romance of the royal wedding, we'll call her hypothetically alisyn, this was a stone-cold reality check of what you give up, what you have to give up in order to have that sort of presentation. she explained how they take your car keys, your atm, your passport. and then you're basically trapped. and if you're trapped with any mental health issues or you're trapped with any of your feelings, you can't get out. and so basically, oprah then asked, one of the sort of conceptions is that meghan got harry out of the royal family, you know, this was all meghan's doing. this

really going on and just briefly also commented on what it was like growing up as the son of prince charles he didn't always say flattering things there either did he. that's really on the past on the level of really sad how he described the relationship with his dad and and he said that at some point that his father wouldn't even answer his calls and he made sure that he once repaired but by the sound of it there is a lot to me yes very good thank you very much that was the w.'s bigot most in london. well today is international women's day a chance to honor the contributions women are making around the world it's also a day to shine a light on the unique challenges that women face challenges which the coronavirus has made worse according to the un commission on the status of women the pandemic has forced women to carry an even greater burden 16 of additional housework home schooling and kara tasks and they've suffered job losses as a result the isolation and stress caused by lockdowns has also led to a global spike in domestic violence which mainly affects with. well women also provide the

but i will say, the fact that he responded is very different than what we saw from prince charles, princees, a few days ago, he did an event which was clearly a photo-op and he had questions shouted to him and he walked on as if the questions didn't exist. questions about race and the interview didn't exist at all. prince william, william we saw there, did at least respond, he responded to the fact he hasn't spoken to his brother and he did talk about racism in the royal family, said, no, very much not a racist family. so interesting to hear him choose to weigh in. >> all right. >>> we have brand-new unemployment numbers, but first, an nfl hopeful finds a new dream after an accident derails his playing career. dr. sanjay gupta has this week's human factor. >> -- at a young age he was very good at football. >> i wanted to grow up and play ball. not just to play, but have a career and do something for myself and for my family. >> in his senior year of high school, an accident changed everything. >> we swerved, hit into a telephone pole, the car went down the cliff, which left me paralyzed f

we also saw prince charles. they have black people with them now. just wondering, is that something new? does that always happen? is that normal? because i hadn't noticed it before. >> i hadn't really noticed it before. but to be fair, prince charles has always been concerned about diversity. >> you cut out. are you still there? can you hear me? you're there, okay? >> i can hear you. >> good. prince william was the first member of the royal family to speak out publicly. he said that the royals are very much not a racist family. and the queen said in her statement that she intended to deal with these allegations in private. do you expect we'll see some changes in behavior from the royals? you said you don't believe that members of the royal family are racist, but you think the institution itself is racist. do you think we'll see changes? >> i very much hope so. i should say, as well, that although i think it's an institution properly in buckingham palace, there was a member of the royal family who asked questions and was concerned about exactly what

distressing attitudes as well. >> and you also rightly say that it's unlikely that the queen or prince charles or even prince william will respond directly to some of these direct allegations unless you think there's going to be a change in tradition. there is a tradition tat the duchess of sussex was clearly upset about of not replying to every story about the royal family. how difficult will it be, then, for harry's family to listen to all of that and not be able to offer alternatives or defend themselves from these allegations or to present another side of the story if there is another side? >> well, we understand the queen wasn't going to watch it. we understand she was going to be briefed this morning by courters who had watched it. tonight, this evening on our tv channel and so everyone knows what's in there. and although the royal family have a policy of not explaining and not complaining they do actually make interventions. often these interventions are made from sources -- they required lots of sors last year who were talking about how the crown was not all the truth, et cetera. and s

prince charles was seen out today. e the prince of wales visited a pop-up vaccination center in london he declined to say anything about the interview. >> can i ask what you think? ros: for his reaction to that atement from buckingham palace , here is bbc's royal correspondent. >> just 61 words, but it is very much a statement from the queen herself and hits the essential point when you consider what they might have come out with. they might have had a more combative statement. this was a gentleman, conciliatory -- gentle one, conciliatory. but at the same time, there is one phrase which pushes back very gently. while some recollections may vary. you can be sure they very in the palace but they are not challenging fact against fact and there acknowledging the significance of the issues, particularly that of race. they now hope they will be able to sort this out as a family. this is a family that is feeling itself hurt and anguish, feeling itself written -- riven. ros: what has the royal family planned beyond the short s

, and it's clear that relationship with prince charles, especially his father, has been damaged quitevery warmly, it's interesting, about the queen and so did meghan. just in recent weeks after prince philip was taken to hospital, how she simply picked up the phone to the queen directly to enquire about how she was doing or how the duke was doing as well so a lot to be done in terms of rebuilding relationships with several members of the royal family. let's hear that clip from prince harry. there's a lot to work through there. you know, i... ifeel really let down. because he's been through something similar. he knows what pain feels like. and this is, and archie is his grandson. but at the same time, you know, of course, iwill always love him. but there's a lot of her to happened. —— a lot of her to happened. —— a lot of her to happened. —— a lot of hurt that's happened. the two of them coming across as very personable, very vulnerable, very open and wanting to talk clearly to this us audience.— us audience. what has the reaction — us audience. what has the reaction been _ us audience

that put her on par with the heir to the throne, prince charles. here's broadcaster and royal watcher daisy mcandrew. prince charles is already one of the least popular members of the senior royals. if the finger is pointed to him, that will do untold damage and, of course, he is the future of the monarchy. the queen is in her mid—90s already, prince charles will be king quite soon, and if he's got those sort of accusations hanging over him, incredibly damaging, and damaging for the uk audience and particularly for the american audience which is an important audience for a royal family. the americans bring in a huge amount in tourism, they have always been very affectionate to the british royalfamily, and if that affection goes, well, that is not good news. the full interview plays here in the uk in about an hour and a half on itv. and the reaction has already been strong in the us — where the interview first aired. our reporter adina campbell has been taking a look. over in the states, it's the most talked about story on american news networks. st

prince charles paid us a visit in 1977. he was a 28-year-old bachelor pursued by irish activists who carried coffins, demanding the brisket out of northern ireland. the prince wrote a cable car, took the trans bay tube and got ere supposed to sail up and in the coast to san francisco on the royal yacht, but a huge storm made the seas to rough. the next morning a big welcome davies of symphony hall, the couple were discerning in buying tony bennett and the prince even sing-along. also on that trip, lunch at stanford and a visit to hewlett- packard and cupertino to check out new computers. that evening, then president ronald reagan and the first lady posted a formal state dinner at the deyoung museum. >>> in 2005, prince charles returns to newly married tikka bowls. devon omthen wiyo fo hosted them in north beach. the next evening, in the pouring rain, the duke and duchess of cornwall attended a black tie event and the prince gave a toast. you can see more archival reports on past royal visits, just had to kpix.com. >>> the mo

. >> archie could become prince when prince charles becomes king. >> how is playing out. >> you see theof racism for what it is. what i thought was interesting people think supporting the monarchy means you can't hold them to account. the queen and royal family are not beyond reapproach. if they do something wrong we should call it out. >> another bombshell meghan saying her emotional stress was far deep er more painful than anyone knew, revealing, while pregnant with archie she was struggling with isolation and had susan -- suicideal thoughts. >> i didn't want to be alive any more. that was a very clear, and real and frightening constant thought. >> she said she asked buckingham palace for help but it was rebuffered and it all came to head two years ago, the day she and harry looked a picture of happyness at royal albert hall. >> we had to go to this event, i said i can't be left alone. >> they're all so shocked by meghan's revelation that she was having suicidal thoughts, it just makes me feel that what have they done to meghan? meghan, like, like me, is an independent woman, career w

prince charles, diana, and prince andrew last year.all know they have not really turned out for the best. you might get a statement, especially on this really serious allegation that comments were made about the color of archie's skin. especially because last week the palace that they are investigating claims that meghan had bullied staff members. if they issue a statement on that for those, and they don't say anything about the allegations of racism, it could be accused of hypocrisy. i think buckingham palace, obviously they will be reeling and shellshocked from what was said in the interview. they will be waiting to see how it goes down in the u.k. it has been on the air for about an hour, people are consuming it and taking it all in. it depends on the reaction of the british audience as to what they say. katty: what do you think tt will be, charlotte? do you think it will change people's minds about, either the royal family, or about harry and meghan in california? charlotte: it's really weird. i know there was this outpouring of sy

so what you see is prince charles continuing with his diary commitments. at a vaccination popup. and the fact that he appeared is this message keep calm, carry on. we are not changing our diaries, our engagements. we are carrying on as usual. you could also look at it in the prism of another palace saying, which is never complain, never explain. i'm getting the impression from buckingham palace the sort of people involved in discussions there that they will not be rushed into a formal statement in response to the harry and meghan interview. so, i think this is what we've got in terms of optics. we can wait around for a statement. the palace is going to carry on with what they do normally. interestingly this morning someone came in in defense of the royal family today and there's accusations of racism. that was the duchess of sussex's father herself. >> i don't think the british royal family are racist at all. i don't think the british are racist. this thing about what color will the baby be or how dark will the baby be, i'm guessing and hoping it's just a

. >> prince harry has definitely benefited from prince charles' generosity over the years., when there were concerns over how much security would cost, prince charles momentarily stepped in to help them as they set up their new lives. >> reporter: but prince harry told oprah that he had no support from his royal family after leaving, which led them to sign luck rative deals with spotify and netflix. >> that was suggested by somebody else, by the point of where my family literally cut me off financially and i had to afford security for us. >> wait, hold up, wait a minute. your family cut you off? >> yeah. in the first half -- the first quarter of 2020. but i've got all my mom left me. and without that, we would not have been able to do this. >> both prince william and harry inherited the estates, the full estates, from their mother, princess diana. harry, of course, also took inheritance from the queen mother's death as well. and this has allowed him to not only invest his money very wisely over the years, but have >> rorci arge sum available. foblowba mea w. ew promo releas

that was prince charles leaving a visit to a london vaccination clinic earlier today.ted with workers, but the searing revelations from that interview with oprah the other night were not mentioned. buckingham palace releasing this statement saying the royal family is concerned about prince harry and meghan's race comments, adding while some recollections may vary, they are taken seriously and will be addressed by the family private limit harry, meghan and archie will always be much-loved family members. >>> the rock is reopening. alcatraz will reopen visitors on monday, that's because it's in the red tier. indoor tours at the landmark have been closed since march of last year. masks, of course, will be required. we'll be right pack >>> tonight at 6:00, it's the latest example of a problem with the vaccine rollout, thousands of appointments canceled in the bay area, but a local professor says there's plenty of reason to be optimistic. >>> and next on nightly news, getting passengers back in the sky. the big change airlines are pushing for to make this happen, perhaps ev

we know last hour -- last half hour we played harry saying his dad prince charles stopped taking hiscided to leave their duties. he has compassion for them as kings in waiting. here's what harry said about their relationships now. >> relationship with your father? is he taking your calls now? >> yeah. yeah. he is. there was a lot of work through that. i feel really let down because he's been through something similar. he knows what pain feels like. and archie's his grandson. but at the same time, of course i will always -- i will always love him. >> and your brother, relationship? much has been said about that. >> yeah, and much will continue to be said about that. as i've said before, i love william to bits. he's my brother. we've been through hell together. we have a shared experience but we are on different paths. the relationship is space at the moment and, you know, time heals all things hopefully. >> hopefully. anna, what does the future look like for this family? >> reporter: well, this has been hugely damaging for their reputation. as you hear there, very damaging for the rel

buckingham palace accusations of racism made by meghan markle are being taken very seriously and as prince charles demonstrated earlier today they will not be addressed publicly. if. you. want to think. that. those who our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day where the pandemic nightmare in italy began and where it could very well be about to happen again it has been exactly one year since italy sealed its borders and told its 60000000 citizens to stay home in order to stay alive since then 100000 people in italy have died from code that 90 tonight doctors in italy are warning of a new perfect storm vaccinations have been slowed only 6 percent of the population have been inoculated the rest risk contracting more contagious viral variants which now account for 60 percent of new cases on this march 9th just as it was one year ago italy's hospital intensive care units are once again filling up. as a doctor and as an italian having the death toll for the epidemic is painful. but it makes us stronger. and it makes us more determined to fight

are they going to - are they going to criticise prince . charles? andard by their wild salmon when compared to kate middleton? you mentioned compared to kate middleton? gm. mentioned patching ages and things like that, we now members of the royal family that person in question has not had their patching ages removed and when it comes to making and harry's interview i think it's important to do because that they forget they left the uk and throughout the relationship before making married harry he spoke to the press and takes is being subjected to racist abuse and the tabloids were attacking her basicity. i think i saw one headline that said despite the fact that she is from nowhere and i think they have the right to say what they have to say that the other side of the story. the pilots was very quiet describing and comparing archie and her son to a monkey. at the end of the day harry and megan has not had a place and now they find their voice. i think we should listen to what they have got to say. the product may each of reflect on themselves and ask

prince harry also said he felt let down by his father prince charles, who at one point was refusing toake his son's calls. also tonight... millions of children went back to school today following months of lockdown and home—schooling. in england's care homes, one nominated person can now visit a loved one. we meet some of those reunited after many months. and the schoolgirl left for dead by the taliban who went on to win a nobel prize has landed a multi—million pound television deal. and coming up in sport on bbc news... fourth—placed chelsea maintain their unbeaten record under thomas tuchel — jorginho with a penalty in a 2—0 win over everton. good evening. we start tonight with the story that's dominated news headlines around the world. the royal family and its advisers are reeling from a list of damaging allegations made by the duke and duchess of sussex in their extensive interview with oprah winfrey, which was broadcast on prime—time television in the usa overnight. while expressing admiration and respect for the queen, the couple were highly critical of other royals and their adv

mental health and magen said that she had suicidal thoughts right now there's no contact between prince charles and a son harry and what does that say right now by the atmosphere in the powerless. it paints a picture of the palace as a white a lonely pace possibly a cold place that's what comes across from what harry and maggot have been saying about this and of course it brings back memories of princess diana of harry's mom who of course was life ended in tragedy and she had also previously spoken about this and how difficult it was to reach out to people so that's another issue that that lot of people are taking seriously the allegations of magen that she suffered mental health problems and that there was no one to turn to. racism and the men. health issues i think the 2 biggest bombshell is really you can say in this interview how is buckingham palace likely to react to this. very unlikely to react immediately with the statement it's been reported that the queen might not actually even watch the interview but why i think what we can expect is people briefing friends and sources and like i sa

it would be very unusual for prince charles to sit down and do a tell all interview with a british tver like meghan and harry did. we may get a statement. depending on the reaction, when this is shown in the u.k., buckingham palace may feel they have to issue one. #abolishthemonarchy is trending, and that is even before peoe have seen the program. you also see sources close to the royal family giving indications of what they feel about certain issues. we will probably see some of that over the next few days looking at newspapers and online. it is obviously very different, the british royal family,o hollywood and celebrities. there is not much access. people don't give tell alls, they don't give revealing interviews about their lives, which is why a lot of people will be sitting down to watch this interview tonight. ros: as you can imagine, plenty more coverage on the bbc website, including live reaction as it comes in. bbc.com/news. next, i want to update you on the pandemic in italy. the number of people who have died from covid-19 has now passed 100,000. that means italy joined five
