Royal commenator Katie Nicholls told 9Honey, “The family are very keen that he’s not aware of the full extent of the interview.’
Katie claimed that due to the widespread coverage of the dramatic interview it’s been impossible to fully shield him but, “efforts were made to protect him from the full force of the fallout.
“It was a great relief to see him leave in a car, not an ambulance, but he did look very, very frail in the backseat and I know the family are relieved he’s home but also deeply concerned about his health.”
During the Oprah Winfrey interview, it was claimed that The Firm denied mental health support when Meghan was suffering from suicidal feelings.
Meghan also shared her and Harry’s upset over Archie not being given a royal title and claimed that an unnamed member of the Royal Family had “expressed concern” over “how dark” Archie’s skin would be before he was born.
Oprah later confirmed that the racist comments were not made by the Queen or Prince Philip.
