Have you heard about their shocking interview? Prince Harry and his Meghan Duchess of Sussex, who had stepped back from their role as senior members of the Royal family in 2020, revealed what was the reason.
The full version of the interview is still not available but the short clips that were aired shocked the world.
If you’re into the British Royals this is a great opportunity to learn new vocabulary while following the story.
Here’s the first clip available on YouTube in which the couple said that tabloids’ attacks on them were different because of race.
