DID THE ROYAL FAMILY COMMENT?

According to a spokesperson from Oprah's production company, Harpo, Oprah did not reach out to the royal family for their side of the story. The interview was solely between Harry and Meghan.

WHO ARE THE SENIOR ROYALS?

Following the Duke and Duchess's exit from the royal family, Queen Elizabeth, her four children, and their spouses, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, are the royal family's senior members.

HOW DO ROYALS GET SECURITY?

Prince Harry and his wife revealed that the royal family had told them that they would not be getting royal protection for leaving the royal family.

According to the former head of royal protection, Dai Davies, if you leave the firm, you lose the perks. Which means leaving the royal family means leaving the benefits that come with it.

The security package comes with being an active member of the royal family with public duties. The royal family's security is funded by taxpayers. The Metropolitan Police, alongside the British government, decide who should get protection.

WHERE IS THE PALACE HR OFFICE?

London's Clarence House, which is attached to St. James's Palace (Prince Charles's office), received complaints about Meghan's alleged bullying of staffers and is said to be looking at how the case is being handled. The house is believed to be the HR office of the palace.

ARE WILLIAMS and CHARLES TRAPPED?

Sources close to the rotal family admitted that the duo occasionally gets uncomfortable with the demands of royal life but understand that they have to do what it takes to keep it running.

Following Prince Harry's interview, sources close to Prince William noted that the prince does not feel trapped and is fully committed to life as a senior member of the royal family.

THE ROYAL FAMILY'S REPUTATION

This would not be the first time the royal family faces a scandal, although this would be the first time they are negatively in the spotlight since Princess Diana's death.

Reports suggest that the centuries-long royal family would survive the scandal, but it is not clear if they would retain their prestige as a unifying body.

Prince Harry and Meghan's claim of racism will prove a difficult challenge for the Queen, who is the head of the Commonwealth. Only time can tell!
