In the famous Oprah interview that was broadcast late on Sunday night, Meghan Markle testified about mental illness during her time in the British royal family.
Markle also said that people within the court should have expressed concern that the couple's son would have dark skin color in connection with her first pregnancy.
- There are very many people in the UK who belong to an ethnic minority, they have a different skin color.
They feel excluded in British society, and for them this is proof that this is so.
They now hope that this issue of widespread racism, which they believe exists, will be taken seriously, says Anna-Maja Persson, SVT's foreign correspondent in London, in Morgonstudion.
"Hard enough as it is"
At the same time, many people think that the accusations are unfair to the queen.
- They think it is difficult enough as it is.
We live in a pandemic and the queen's husband, Prince Philip, is in hospital and has had heart surgery, says Anna-Maja Persson.
The support for the royal family seems to be greatest among the elderly, she says.
- You see a pretty clear difference.
The older ones support the queen and feel sorry for her now, while many younger ones feel more sympathy for Harry and Meghan in this case.
The Prime Minister does not want to comment
Since the interview, the reactions have been strong in the country.
But so far the royal family has not commented on the outcome.
Boris Johnson claims that he does not intend to see the two-hour interview, reports The Independent.
The British Prime Minister says at the same time that he does not want to comment on the accusations against the royal family, but adds that he has always admired the queen.
- I have for a long time avoided commenting on royal matters and I do not intend to deviate from that line now, he says.
On Tuesday, the British Labor Party issued a demand at Buckingham Palace to respond to the accusations.
