Since the interview aired, reports have it that members of the royal family are shocked and worried over their declining reputation. More than anyone else, Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, is said to be incredibly hurt.

The Queen has a soft spot for her grandson, and despite his decisions over the last year, she has tried her best to show support to him in the best way she could, but his interview has come as a huge blow to her.

During their interview with Oprah, Archie's parents revealed that they were subjected to several injustice from the royal family, and Markle was given unfair treatment.

Perhaps the most shocking of their claims was that some royal family members held concerns about the color of Archie's skin before he was born, sparking the idea of racism within the esteemed family.

Celebrities and viewers in the world called out the monarchy, with some branding them racists. Some viewers remarked that Markle's poor treatment by the royal family was because of her skin color.

Amidst the storm generated by the March 7 interview, Buckingham Palace released a statement on behalf of the Queen and noted that the allegations would be addressed privately.

In the statement, the family said that they were shocked to find out how challenging the last few years had been for Harry and Markle and noted that some recollections might vary, but the allegations would be taken seriously.

Reports have it that the 94-year-old British monarch and her son Prince Charles were not on the same page on how best to respond to Harry and Markle's claims.

While the Queen wanted a more modest approach, Prince Charles wanted a statement to rebuke every claim the couple made, but members of the royal family voted against it. They plan to treat things as a family.
