The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s sit-down with the US chat show mogul aired in the UK on ITV on Monday night. According to US network CBS, nearly 50 million people across the world have so far watched the two-hour special. 

Buckingham Palace released a statement a day and a half after the interview was first broadcast in the US on Sunday evening.

The Palace statement read: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning.

“Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”

Commentators, fans and onlookers from the UK and across the pond have scrutinised comments made by the Duchess of Sussex, with some questioning their validity.

Rhiannon Mills, royal correspondent at Sky News, commented on the “whilst some recollections may vary” statement in her analysis.

Ms Mills wrote: “So subtle and tactful but making it deliberately clear that not everyone in the Palace agrees with Harry and Meghan’s description of events.

“But the Queen is not going to feed the media circus by giving anymore than that, she will not stoop to public point scoring against the Sussexes.

“The fact a statement was even released is a sign that the Palace realised a dignified silence wasn’t going to shut this down.

“After nearly three weeks of dealing with the hype, the revelations and the fall out from the Sussexes decision to break ranks and give this tell all interview, Her Majesty is attempting to regain control just as she did when Harry and Meghan first announced they wanted to step back.”
