KEY POINTS

  • Prince Albert II of Monaco understood the Sussexes’ situation but found their Oprah interview inappropriate
  • Prince Albert said the Sussexes televised interview was not the appropriate forum to discuss their concerns
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should have discussed their complaints with the royals at the palace

One royal criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey because of the things they covered in the discussion.

Prince Albert II of Monaco shared his thoughts on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's explosive tell-all with Oprah. For him, Prince Harry and Markle's "public display of dissatisfaction" was inappropriate.

"It’s very difficult to be in someone’s place. I can understand the pressure that they were under," he told BBC World News as quoted by USA Today.

The prince added that "these types of conversations should be held within the intimate quarters of the family" before adding that "it doesn’t really have to be laid out in the public sphere like that."

"It did bother me a little bit," he continued. "I can understand where they're coming from in a certain way, but I think it wasn’t the appropriate forum to be able to have these kinds of discussions."

Prince Albert II wished Prince Harry the best outside his royal life. He was hoping that the Duke of Sussex "can have the judgment and wisdom to make the right choices."

During Prince Harry and Markle's tell-all, both shared that there were discussions about their son Archie's complexion. One member allegedly wondered how dark their baby's color would be. The revelation sparked racism allegations against the royal family.

Prince Harry told Oprah that his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and grandfather, Prince Philip, were not involved in the discussion about their son’s skin. Meanwhile, Prince William denied the racism allegations saying, "We are very much not a racist family."

The duchess also shared that she had suicidal thoughts. Markle expressed her dismay at how the palace failed to protect her from false reports.

Prince Harry's wife denied the rumors that she made Kate Middleton cry in the run-up to her royal wedding and said, "The reverse happened." According to Markle, the Duchess of Cambridge was not pleased about something and it hurt her. But Middleton already apologized and sent her flowers and a note. Markle said she already forgave Prince William's wife and even called Middleton a "good person."
