BULLYING ACCUSATIONS
Before the interview, there's a report that Markle faced bullying allegations from one of her close advisers when she was a working royal — accusations that her office vehemently denied.
As a result of this latest attack on her character, a spokesperson said that the Duchess of Sussex is saddened, given that she herself has been the victim of bullying.
However, the family did not seem to come any closer to a resolution.

INEFFECTIVE TALKS
Meanwhile, Prince William said he had not spoken to Prince Harry but promised to do so. And it appears the Duke of Cambridge did, as well as their father, Prince Charles.
CBS' Gayle King reported that Prince Harry was able to speak with both his brother and father after the interview. However, the family did not seem to come any closer to a resolution.

Although the conversations did not turn out to be productive, King noted what a great feeling it gave to Prince Harry and Markle that the lines of communication had been opened.

King explained what she thinks has upset the couple is that the palace continues to say that they prefer to work things out privately, but they still believe these false stories are getting out about Markle.

As for the relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William, royal expert and author Angela Levin said in an interview with US Weekly that it would never be the same.
According to the book "Finding Freedom," a rift emerged between the siblings in 2016 when Prince William expressed concern over how fast Prince Harry's relationship with Markle was moving.
