Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's highly anticipated Oprah interview aired Sunday night, and the excitement on Twitter was palpable. Throughout the bombshell 90-minute special, Meghan and Harry revealed new details about why they decided to leave the Royal family, and just how painful that process has been for them. Even before the interview started, Twitter users were beyond hype for the experience.

Tuning into the Oprah-Meghan interview, just as the Founders would have wanted.

The interview contained numerous bombshell revelations: that Harry's father had at one point stopped taking his calls, that Meghan had suicidal thoughts and asked the palace for help but was told it wouldn't be good for the institution, and much, much more.

ONCE AGAIN AMERICA WILL DEFEAT THE BRITISH MONARCHY BY SPILLING TEA

It's not over yet and we've already learned:
- The Palace denied Archie security
- The Palace withheld the title of a prince
- Someone who is not the Queen expressed white supremacist concerns about Archie's skin tone
- KATE MADE MEGHAN CRY
Phew.. #MeghanAndHarry— Professor Fleming (@alwaystheself) March 8, 2021
“Everyone in the institution knew that didn’t happen,” Meghan says of false stories about her making Duchess Kate cry. What actually happened? “The reverse,” she tells Oprah.#OprahMeghanHarry

British society is so fragile that an actress from the USA Network drama Suits has it on the verge of collapse

In particular, users were rallying the (online) troops to defend Meghan:
“The reverse happened.” I SAT STRAIGHT UP. #OprahMeghanHarry

The polarity is precisely the issue. The difference in treatment between Meghan and Kate is one of the clearest examples of the misogynoir at play & is a reminder that if they can do that to a Duchess, it’s happening to Black women *everyday*#OprahMeghanHarry#BlackWomenAtWork

meghan said she don't know why kate got one treatment and she got the exact opposite. i can think of half a reason.

Alex Rodriguez, Alexis Ohanian, and Doug Emhoff put all that work in to be this era's premiere wife guy and Harry just stole the...crown

Oprah just woke up one day and was like "you know what, I'm bored. Lemme take down the British monarchy"

One thing's for sure: TV will never be the same.
British Twitter is legit surprised that Americans don’t know the rules around royalty. Y’all...we literally founded an entire country so that we wouldn’t have to. #OprahMeghanHarry
