If you have been anywhere near the internet today, it's likely that you would have either seen snippets or watched the entirety of the explosive Oprah interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
And we KNOW you definitely have feelings about it.
Watch the moment Prince Harry spoke openly about Meghan Markle's mental health during the birth of their son, Archie. Post continues after video.
We thought it would be good to group all of our feelings together in the form of tweets, so we can capture this hectic moment in history and cry/smile/throw things at the screen in unison.
So, here is how the world reacted to the tell-all Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Oprah interview - in 280 characters at a time.
When the royal family allegedly feared Archie would be "too dark".
A shocking moment in the interview was when Harry and Meghan shared there were concerns from the royal family about the colour of Archie's skin.
Oh wow Harry is not going to expound upon the skin color conversation. That means it was probably worse than what we're even imagining that it was. #OprahMeghanHarry

Meghan Markle says there were concerns in 🇬🇧 Royal family about her child's skin color. “You’re not going to tell me who had that conversation?" Oprah asks. “I think that would be very damaging to them.” #OprahMeghanHarry pic.twitter.com/2HAda9ICEN

So Camilla, Prince Charles’ mistress was allowed in the family but they’re upset about a grandson that’s a quarter black tainting the family tree? Queen Elizabeth and her husband are related but you’re worried about Archie? The math ain’t matching #OprahMeghanHarry pic.twitter.com/LK8d7v5VIl

But it seems the racism stretched well beyond just their son, and Meghan was allegedly dealing with racism regularly.
Participating in this Oprah interview was a courageous move on Harry and Meghan’s part, and I’m glad they did it. It’s about time they shared their side of the story, and it’s important for people to hear about the racism that exists in the UK at all levels... #OprahMeghanHarry

Black women who watched #HarryandMeghanonOprah, give yourself some self care before going to bed tonight. Lots of triggers. Lots of emotions. Lots of empathy poured out. Tend to yourself, Loves, so you don't bring that into your Monday #OprahMeghanHarry

Two things stood out to me from the #OprahMeghanHarry interview: - Tyler Perry offered them security when the royal family wouldn’t. - Oprah allowed them to tell their story when the royal family wouldn’t. A Black man gave them a home. A Black woman gave them a platform. pic.twitter.com/uIDDNAsSG7

If this interview does not further reinforce that racism is embedded in the fabric of Britain, I don’t know what will. We have been telling you. #OprahMeghanHarry

When Meghan admitted she reached a "breaking point".
A theme throughout the interview was definitely the turmoil Meghan Markle was subjected to when she 'joined' the royal family. While we were aware before this conversation that she had it tough, the Duchess said she was pushed to "breaking point" and that suicidal thoughts were keeping her awake at night.
Zora Neale Hurston — "If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it." Brava Meghan!!! #OprahMeghanHarry

If Meghan was the lil mermaid, who is the Ursula who took her voice? There is a specific name and I want it! #OprahMeghanHarry

#Oprah: Any regrets? #PrinceHarry: No. I’m really proud of us. I’m so proud of my own wife. She safely delivered Archie at a time that was so cruel, so mean. Every time I came home each day and she was crying while breastfeeding. #OprahMeghanHarry

When Prince Charles stopped taking Prince Harry's calls.
Prince Harry reflected on his damaged relationship with his father, Prince Charles.
“I feel really let down because he’s been through something similar. He knows what pain feels like. . . but at the same time I will always love him.” Harry says his relationship with Prince Charles is still strained after he failed to properly support his son. #OprahMeghanHarry

Deep it. Prince Charles stepped on the media's neck to rebrand Camilla but didn't lift a single finger for his son. #OprahMeghanHarry

When Harry said they're living off Princess Diana's inheritance.
We found out during the interview that Princess Diana had saved some money for Prince Harry and it was this inheritance that meant Harry and Meghan were able to flee the royal family and start their new life.
“My family literally cut me off financially in the first half of 2020 but I have what my Mum left me and without that we wouldn’t have been able to do this. It’s like she saw it coming and she’s been with us through this whole process” Prince Harry #OprahMeghanHarry pic.twitter.com/TsLK7BfQZd

There’s a really sad irony in the fact that money Diana left Harry is what allowed him to help his wife escape that wretched family. #OprahMeghanHarry

Me thinking about how the Royal Family cut Harry & Meghan off financially right at the beginning of a global pandemic & how the people's princess Diana came to the rescue beyond the grave to help him 😭😭 #OprahMeghanHarry pic.twitter.com/idBP7HeVGE

When Archie told his parents to "drive safe".
Twitter is convinced that Archie somehow knows about how his grandmother died and tries to protect his parents with this piece of advice.
