Buckingham Palace has issued a statement in response to Prince Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. <br /> <br />The statement on behalf of the Queen reads: "The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan. <br /> <br />"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. <br /> <br />"Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members." <br /> <br />Earlier today Prince Charles, in his first public appearance since the interview with Oprah Winfrey was aired, declined to comment. <br /> <br />The interview was watched by over 11 million people in the UK. <br /> <br />The British public is split on whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were treated fairly or unfairly by the royal family. <br /> <br />A snap YouGov poll found 32% believed they were treated unfairly, while an equal proportion - 32% - did not, and 36% did not know.
