Queen and Prince Philip 'saddened' over Meghan & Harry interview- Palace statement in full

 




Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the subject of an explosive two-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday night, in which they delivered their side of the story of events since stepping down from their roles as senior royals in January 2020.

 The couple have since lived in Montecito, California, and haven't said anything about their exit from the UK until Sunday's prime-time special. 

The interview aired in the UK last night, and laid forth a number of accusations of race, bullying and mental health denial within the Royal Family, and for the first time admitted the Duchess of Sussex had experienced suicidal thoughts while living in Britain. 

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

Neither the Queen, nor anyone in the Royal Family, had responded to the allegations laid forth in the interview – until now. 

The Palace has released a statement from the monarch and Duke of Edinburgh detailing how they feel following the revelations this weekend. 

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

"While 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."

The interview was first aired in the US on Sunday night on CBS before being broadcast onto British screens on Monday. 



24 hours on from the interview’s own broadcast, senior members of the family are said to have been engaged in crisis talks about the allegations. 

The Times reported that the Queen had refused to sign off on an initial prepared statement officials hoped would ease tensions and show the royal’s loss for the couple. 

The reason for the delay is understood to be because the Queen wanted more time to consider her reply to the couple and the allegations put forth about the family. 

One source told reporters Prince Harry had “pressed the nuclear button on his own family” by doing the two-hour interview.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
