Oprah with Meghan and Harry which aired on Sunday was explosive to say the least. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex dropped bombshell after bombshell during the two hour primetime special. The entire world is still talking about the interview- and twitter has some opinions. Here are some of the best tweets of the week (so far).
Have a cool story to share with DuchessLA, send us an email: [email protected]

Reminder: #PrincessDiana, chased down by a relentless press, died at age 36. #PrinceHarry, chased down by a relentless press, escaped to America with #MeghanMarkle. He's now 36. We should be celebrating the fact that he's alive, not attacking the woman he believes saved him.

just in the last week Meghan Markle has taken out the Royal Family, the Mail on Sunday and Piers Morgan, if she's not too busy would really appreciate if she could do the same for Boris Johnson please 👍

I watched the #MeghanMarkle interview with my daughter. Like Meghan, she is not white. Years ago she was thrilled that someone 'who looks like me' was welcomed in the royal family. Symbolically it meant a lot to her. Yesterday she learned a hard lesson about systemic racism. pic.twitter.com/GrHqREvkjJ

I've been thinking about what is really at the heart of why the @RoyalFamily & others are so angry or put-off by #MeghanMarkle and it's really quite simple: Dysfunctional families & people get angry when they are exposed as such. I know, I see it in my own family. 1/

I feel like someone as high profile as #MeghanMarkle talking about suicidal thoughts on international TV is a really important moment for mental health awareness. @ChangesBristol

Two things stood out to me from the #OprahMeghanHarry interview:

– Tyler Perry offered them security when the royal family wouldn’t.
– Oprah allowed them to tell their story when the royal family wouldn’t.
A Black man gave them a home. A Black woman gave them a platform. pic.twitter.com/uIDDNAsSG7

Meghan was the Crown's greatest opportunity for change, regeneration, and reconciliation in a new era. They didn't just maltreat her light–they missed out on it.

Royalty is not a shield from the devastation and despair of racism. #MeghanMarkle
