Meghan has said that everyone should have a “basic right to privacy” in a previously unseen clip from her and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The Duchess of Sussex said that people should be able to share what they feel “comfortable” with from their personal lives.
Buckingham Palace is reportedly in “crisis talks” following Harry and Meghan’s tell-all interview.
According to the BBC, “crisis meetings” have taken place involving senior royals following the documentary.
BBC royal correspondent Daniela Relph has said it is “increasingly unsustainable for Buckingham Palace to say nothing” about the couple’s claims.
During a two-hour TV special in which Oprah Winfrey interviewed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Meghan said that conversations were had about how dark her child’s skin would be when she was pregnant.
Winfrey confirmed that Harry had asked her to ensure it was clear neither the Queen nor the Duke of Edinburgh were part of those conversations.

During the interview, which was originally over three hours long but was cut down for TV, Meghan revealed that she had suffered from suicidal thoughts and said that the palace did not help her when asked.
On Tuesday morning, Prince Charles made his first public appearance since the interview was broadcast.
Charles, who was visiting a pop-up vaccination centre in London, was swiftly moved on as a reporter asked him what he thought of the interview.
The couple’s interview, which aired on American network, CBS, on Sunday night, was then played to UK audiences on ITV on Monday night.
Meghan has said that everyone should have a “basic right to privacy” in a new unseen clip from last night’s interview.
The clip, which wasn’t included in the original broadcast, was published by Oprahmag.com.
In the video, the Duchess of Sussex said: “Two things here: I think everyone has a basic right to privacy, basic. We’re not talking about anything that anybody else wouldn’t expect.
“So if you’re at work and you have a photograph of your child on your desk and your co-worker says ‘Oh my gosh, your kids so cute, that’s fantastic... can I see your phone so I can see all your pictures of your child?’, you go, ‘No, this is the picture I’m comfortable sharing with you’.
“And then if they double down and say, ‘No but you already showed me that one so you’ve got to show me everything, so I’m going to hire someone to sit in front of your house or hide in the bushes and take pictures into your back yard because you’ve lost your right to privacy because you shared one image with me’.
“That’s sort of the flawed argument and operating mechanism that they’re confusing people to think.”
The founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM) has reportedly called for a boycott of the royal family following Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Opal Tometi told news outletTMZ on Tuesday that people should stop standing by the royal family, and called for a boycott of the institution over claims by the couple that their son’s skin tone was called into question.
The Duchess of Sussex said during the interview that “concerns” were raised about the skin colour of their son Archie, who was born in May 2019.
She added there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born,” and that some of those conversations were “relayed to me from Harry.”
And the ex-president said last year that he was “not a fan” of Meghan after she and Harry encouraged Americans to vote in the US presidential election he lost to Joe Biden.
Now Mr Trump’s biggest online cheerleaders have been quick to attack Meghan.
“Here’s the question Oprah should have asked Harry & Meghan: isn’t the whole point of the Royal Family that it’s *not* about you but about your country? It’s about service to the UK and the Commonwealth,” tweeted former White House senior adviser Stephen Miller.
This is far from the first time a royal interview has made headlines.
From Princess Diana’s tell-all interview with Martin Bashir to Prince Andrew’s interview with Emily Maitlis on BBC Newsnight, Sean O’Grady has examined the best royal interviews of the past.
Now, many are sharing the words of warning Oliver shared in 2018 during an appearance on The Late Show.
“I would not blame her if she pulled out of this in the last minute,” he said.
“I don’t think you need to have just seen the pilot episode of The Crown to get a basic sense of she might be marrying into a family that could cause her some emotional complications.”
He added: “I mean, they’re an emotionally stunted group of fundamentally flawed people doing a very silly pseudo job. That’s what she’s marrying into. So I hope she likes it. It’s going to be weird for her.”
The prime minister’s official spokesman refused repeated requests at a Westminster media briefing to comment on the Foreign Office minister’s outburst, in which he appeared to point the finger of blame at Meghan for the rift between Harry and the rest of the royal family.
In an outspoken tweet on Monday, Lord Goldsmith responded to suggestions that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had “dropped bomb after heavy bomb on Buckingham Palace” in their interview.
Lord Goldsmith wrote: “Not ‘Buckingham Palace’ - Harry’s family. Harry is blowing up his family. ‘What Meghan wants, Meghan gets’.”
Prince Charles was moved on swiftly when he was asked by a reporter this morning what he thought of Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Charles visited a pop-up vaccination clinic in London on Tuesday, in his first public appearance since the bombshell TV special.
In the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview, broadcast in the UK last night, Harry claimed his father stopped taking his calls when he and Meghan stepped back from the royal family.
Harry said: “I feel really let down because he’s been through something similar, he knows what pain feels like, [and] Archie’s his grandson.
“But at the same time - I will always love him - but there’s a lot of hurt that’s happened and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship.”
Prince Charles swiftly moved on after reporter asks him about Meghan & Harry interview
Oprah with Meghan and Harry was broadcast on ITV at 9pm last night and, for those who missed it, the programme is still available to watch on the ITV Hub.
In the interview, which was originally three hours long but cut down for TV, Meghan and Harry spoke in-depth about life in the royal family.
The Duchess of Sussex revealed that she had suffered from suicidal thoughts and said that the palace did not help her when asked.
Buckingham Palace is under increasing pressure to respond to the content of the interview but has so far remained silent.
Prince Charles has made his first public appearance since Harry and Meghan’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The Prince of Wales was photographed on Tuesday morning as he visited a pop-up vaccination clinic in London.
In the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview, broadcast in the UK last night, Harry claimed his father stopped taking his calls when he and Meghan stepped back from the royal family.
Harry said: “I feel really let down because he’s been through something similar, he knows what pain feels like, [and] Archie’s his grandson.
“But at the same time - I will always love him - but there’s a lot of hurt that’s happened and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship.”
The Duchess of Sussex revealed in her and Harry’s interview that she had contemplated suicide due to abuse she’d received for joining the royal family.
Morgan said: “I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word she said.”
He added: “Who did you go to? What did they say to you? I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report.”
Thomas Markle claimed Meghan had “ghosted” most of her family on both sides during his appearance on Good Morning Britain earlier today.
The Duchess of Sussex’s father claimed that his daughter no longer speaks to him, but said he does want a relationship with her, explaining that he now lives around “70 miles” away from the couple, but has never met Harry or his grandson Archie.
“The biggest problem is she has pretty much ghosted all of her family, on my side and her mother’s side,” he said.

In reference to the backlash the royal family is now facing following the interview, Kelly said at the end of the latest episode of Lorraine: “I guess the only person who might be thinking this is all OK is Prince Andrew, right?”
The show’s end credits then began to roll, leaving viewers in shock.
The duchess’s father admitted that watching Oprah Winfrey’s interview was the first time he had heard his daughter speak in four years and said he was “disappointed” she had accused him of “betraying” her by colluding with the British tabloid press to profit from untrue stories.
But the Good Morning Britain interview attracted a highly mixed response on social media, with many viewers attacking ITV for giving Markle a platform given his fraught and well-documented relationship with his daughter and apparent ill health.
“Watching Thomas Markle is uncomfortable viewing – he doesn’t look or sound well, he’s rambling and repetitive,” observed psychologist Jo Hemmings, herself a consultant to the programme.
Piers Morgan has broken his silence after storming off the Good Morning Britain set mid-filming earlier today.
Morgan walked off set after co-presenter Alex Beresford confronted him over his comments about the Duchess of Sussex.
Morgan said yesterday that he didn’t believe Meghan after she revealed that she had struggled with suicidal thoughts.
Commenting on Morgan’s walk-out, news organisation News Guido wrote on Twitter: “What a snowflake @piersmorgan turns out to be. If you dish it out, you’ve got to take it.”
The presenter quote-tweeted the post, responding: “Agreed. I was annoyed, went for a little cool-down and came back to finish the discussion.”

Piers Morgan walked off the set of Good Morning Britain earlier today after co-star Alex Beresford condemned his recent comments about Meghan.
Morgan has faced heavy criticism for saying he didn’t believe the Duchess of Sussex after she opened up about having suicidal thoughts.
On this morning’s episode of Good Morning Britain, Beresford addressed Morgan’s comments, describing yesterday’s segment about Markle as “incredibly hard to watch”.
“[Harry and Meghan] have had an overwhelming amount of negative press,” he said.
“I watched the programme yesterday and yes, they had some great press around the wedding... but everything that has followed since has been incredibly damaging to Meghan’s mental health and to Harry.”
Meghan and Harry’s interview earned ITV the second highest ratings of 2021 so far, early figures have revealed.
The interview was watched by 11.12 million viewers, and hit a peak of 12.3 million.
The two-hour special was only beaten by Boris Johnson’s live 4 January speech on the latest lockdown schedule, which was watched by 15.6 million viewers.
The newspapers were flooded with the aftermath from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey this morning.
The Daily Telegraph said in an opinion piece that the interview represented a “devastating insult” to the Queen.
The Daily Mail took a similar stance, with a pointed headline which read: “What have they done?”
Other papers focused more on the impact that Meghan’s claims of racism could have. The Times said that allegations of racism “could hardly be more damaging to the royal family”.
The Palace is said to be in “crisis talks” in the wake of Harry and Meghan’s interview.
During the TV special, Harry and Meghan made a series of claims about their lives in the royal family, including that one person raised concerns about how dark their son Archie’s skin would be.
Winfrey later clarified that the remark was not made by the Queen or the Duke of Edinburgh.
According to the BBC, “crisis meetings” have taken place involving senior royals following the documentary.
