Does Meghan Markle have the ‘worst judgment of anyone in the entire world’? Following claim by Princess Diana’s former confidante Tina Brown, we recall her questionable calls… and there’s plenty to choose from

Aired her grievances with The Firm in a tell-all chat with Oprah
Some 50million people around the world watched as, on March 7, 2021, the duo took part in an 85-minute tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Chatting in the sun-kissed garden of a Californian mansion – which turned out to owned by a friend of Oprah’s – a heavily-pregnant Meghan described her time in the Royal Family as a nightmare that she’d barely survived.
Oprah asked the now famous question, ‘Were you silent or silenced?’
‘The latter,’ Meghan replied.
She said the situation had deteriorated to the point that she’d even contemplated suicide.

‘I didn’t want to be alive any more,’ she told Oprah. ‘It was a clear and real and frightening constant thought.’
Yet Meghan alleged that Palace staff didn’t offer her help when she went to them begging for support, even though she was then six months pregnant with Archie.
She then made the bombshell claim: ‘I was told that I couldn’t, that it wouldn’t be good for the institution.’
The other eyebrow-raising claim was the suggestion that the Royal Family was collectively racist, pointing the finger at one – unnamed – member who, they alleged, had speculated about the colour of their son Archie’s skin when Meghan was pregnant in a racist way.
Critics didn’t take well to her decision to go on national television and attack the family she married into, especially when she was already estranged from most of her own.
Her revelations in the interview are still reverberating more than three years on.
