"Well, I haven't really spoken to them since the interview because we're in different time zones," Oprah told CBS This Morning following the interview. "I got a text from Meghan yesterday saying, 'How's it going?' Because she was putting Archie to bed waiting on the West Coast feed and had no idea what was happening on the East Coast."

Oprah says she wrote back, 'I don't either, from what I can tell it's going well, I know it's airing' and added that she'd probably be having a conversation with the couple about the special later.

Meghan and Harry spoke candidly during their talk with Oprah — opening up about Meghan being denied mental health treatment, the immense pressure they faced while working as senior royals, the horrifying racism Meghan experienced within the royal family itself, and even their relationships with Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Charles, and the Queen.

The Tuesday after the interview aired, Buckingham Palace issued the following statement on behalf of the Queen:

Meanwhile, Prince Charles seems to be continuing with his schedule of royal engagements. On March 9, he was asked what he thought of the interview while visiting a vaccine pop up, and simply smiled:
