Boris Johnson
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson admired Queen Elizabeth II after a scandalous interview with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, which they gave to the American TV presenter Oprah Winfrey. He stated this during a press conference, Sky News reports.
The head of government assured that he would not interfere in the scandal that erupted around the British royal family over the statements of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He added that he has always deeply admired the Queen and the unifying role she plays in the UK.
A spokesman for the head of government said Johnson did not watch the interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Reuters reported. According to him, the prime minister has repeatedly argued that there is no place for racism in the UK.
Earlier it became known that almost half of the British called the interview of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle unacceptable. A third of those surveyed do not have sympathy for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, another 23 percent of the British do not really sympathize with them.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview came out on Monday, March 8th. During the conversation with the TV presenter, the Duchess of Sussex hinted at racism in the British royal family. For example, some of the members of the dynasty during her first pregnancy showed concern about the skin color of her future son. She also admitted that she had previously thought about suicide.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have ceased to act as members of the British royal family on April 1, 2020. To be eligible to move to the United States, work and do business, they had to give up the Your Royal Highness, government funding and the Sussex Royal brand. After signing an agreement with the video service Netflix, they achieved financial independence from the royal family.
