BORIS JOHNSON EXPRESSES ‘HIGHEST ADMIRATION’ FOR QUEEN AFTER HARRY-MEGHAN INTERVIEW

Mon 08 March 2021:

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday expressed his “highest admiration” for Queen Elizabeth II after an explosive interview by her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan.

“I’ve always had the highest admiration for the queen and the unifying role she plays in our country and across the Commonwealth,” Johnson told reporters, declining to comment further when asked about Meghan’s comments on racism and mental anguish.

Some of the shocking details described by Harry and Meghan in an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, the first they have given since they stepped away from official royal duties last year. They said they would have stayed had they gotten support from the royal family.

In one of the only lighthearted moments, the couple revealed their second child, expected this summer, will be a girl.

While they had harsh words for their treatment in the press, the most disturbing parts of the interview centered on how they were treated by members of the royal family.

Meghan said that “in the months when I was pregnant… we have in tandem the conversation of he won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title, and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.” Harry said it was not a conversation he ever wanted to discuss.
