Meghan Markle Talks Privacy, Prince Harry Says Family Hasn't Apologized: Everything We Learned From Unaired Tell-All Clips

Even more to the story. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s CBS tell-all interview continues to make headlines as new footage is released from their lengthy sit-down. The 39-year-old Suits alum, who is pregnant with the couple’s second child, a baby girl, addressed a series of hot topics during the Sunday, March 7, interview, including her rumored rift with Duchess Kate. "If you love me, you don't have to hate her. And if you love her, you don't have to hate me,” Meghan said, claiming that the “narrative” that she made Kate, 39, cry ahead of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s May 2018 nuptials was incorrect. “The reverse happened.” In the bonus footage, Meghan gives more insight into the divide between the two duchesses, with the former actress claiming her negative experience with the British press isn’t comparable to Kate’s issues with the media. "It was like the Wild, Wild West. It spread like wildfire. Plus, my being American — it translated in a different way across the pond. So you had a noise level that was very different," she said in a CBS This Morning clip, noting that Harry’s family struggled to see the difference. Meghan explained: ”I think the volume of what was coming in and the interest was greater because of social media, because of the fact that I was not just British, and that, unfortunately, if members of his family say, 'Well, this is what has happened to all of us.' … And if a member of his family will comfortably say, 'We've all had to deal with some things that are rude,' rude and racist are not the same." [jwplayer HMphocym-l3ahXupL] In another bonus clip, Harry, 36, echoed his wife’s opinion, noting that racism was “a large part” of the reason the twosome opted to stop working for Queen Elizabeth II and subsequently relocated to California. “One of the people at [a British fundraiser] said to me, ‘Please don’t. Please don’t do this with the media. They will destroy your life.’ This person is friends with a lot of the editors,” Harry recalled. “So, I said, ‘Just elaborate by what you mean by that?’ He said, ‘You need to understand the U.K. is very bigoted.’ I stopped and I said, ‘The U.K. is not bigoted. The U.K. press is bigoted, specifically the tabloids. Is that what you mean?’ He goes, ‘No, the U.K. is bigoted.’ And I said, ‘I completely disagree.’ But unfortunately, if the source of the information is inherently corrupt or racist or biased, then that filters out to the rest of society.” The royal family has yet to publicly react to Harry and Meghan’s bombshell interview. When Prince Charles was asked about the sit-down during a royal engagement on Tuesday, March 9, he laughed and kept walking. According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, Prince William is “devastated” by the claims — specifically the remarks about Kate — made by Harry and Meghan on Sunday. “I think that the idea that Kate’s being dragged into this will be upsetting for Kate who behind the scenes has tried really hard to be a peacemaker between William and Harry,” Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight. “She has been deeply saddened by the brothers’ falling out. Don’t forget she was incredibly close to Harry herself.” Scroll through for the biggest revelations from the extra footage from Meghan and Harry’s interview:

Meeting Canceled With the Queen

The prince claimed that his grandmother’s staff canceled their planned meeting with the queen in January 2020 after their exit plans were made public.

“She said, ‘Yes, there’s something in my diary that I didn’t know that I had.’ And I said, ‘Well, what about the rest of the week?’ And she said, ‘Well, that’s busy now as well.’ OK, I didn’t want to push because I kind of knew what was going on,” Harry recalled. “When you’re head of The Firm, there is people around you that give you advice. And what has also made me really sad is some of that advice has been really bad.”

Meghan on ‘Waity Katie’

During the conversation about Kate, Meghan referenced the British media’s nickname for the Duchess of Cambridge before Kate and William wed in 2011.

Harry’s Family Hasn’t Reached Out Post-Move

“No, sadly not,” Harry responded when asked whether any members of his family have apologized for the lack of support they felt from the royals. "The feeling is that this was our decision; therefore, the consequences are on us. And despite three years of asking for help and visualizing how this might end, it was, I don't know, it's been really hard because I am part of the system with them, I always have been."

Charles Has Made ‘Peace’ With Toxic Environment, William Is Trapped

While Harry noted that he can’t speak for William, he suggested that his brother is “trapped” in his role as the future king.

“I was trapped, but I didn’t know I was trapped,” Harry said. “My father and my brother, they are trapped. They don’t get to leave. And I have huge compassion for that.”

He also claimed that his father “made peace” with the “toxic” lifestyle.

Meghan on Her Dad

While Meghan noted that she “lost” her dad during Sunday’s broadcast, she answered more specific questions about her estranged father, Thomas Markle, and half-sister Samantha Markle in bonus clips.

“There was such an obsession about anything in my world, including tracking down my parents. And I did everything I could to protect both of them in that media frenzy,”  Meghan said. “But for over a year, the U.K. tabloids were trying to find my dad, offering people so much money to try to find his address. Once they did, I remember being told, there was a huge headline, like, ‘We found him!’ or ‘We’ve got him!’”

While discussing Thomas’ decision to team up with the paparazzi ahead of the royal wedding in 2018, Meghan said, “We called my dad, and I asked him, and he said, ‘No, absolutely not.’ I said, you know, the institution has never intervened for anything for us, but they can try to go in and kill this story. But if they do this once, we’re not going to be able to use that same leverage to protect our kids one day. … I said, ‘We won’t be able to protect our own kids one day.’ I said, ‘I just need you to tell me. If you tell me the truth, we can help. And he wasn’t able to do that.”

Meghan added that her mother, Doria Ragland, was able to handle the pressure better.

“Everyone has accountability. They hunted my mom down. You never heard her say a word,” she said. “She’s remained in silent dignity for four years watching me go through this.”

Meghan on Dad, Sister

Meghan was also asked about Samantha’s book, The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister.

“I think it would be very hard to ‘tell all’ when you don’t know me,” she said of her half-sister’s efforts. “This is a very different situation than my dad, right? When you talk about betrayal, betrayal comes from someone that you have a relationship with, right? I don’t feel comfortable talking about people that I really don’t know. I grew up as an only child, which everyone who grew up around me knows, and I wished I had siblings. I would have loved to have had siblings. That’s why I’m so excited to be pregnant [again] so that [my son] Archie has someone.”

Both Thomas and Samantha have slammed Meghan’s claims post-interview.
