The drama of the Royal Family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became the newest hot topic for late-night television when presenters Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel recapitulated Oprah Winfrey’s bombshell interview.
“If you didn’t get it, things got really quick,” Colbert said during his opening monologue on Monday.
During the Sunday Tell-All, Markle and Prince Harry discovered the questionable treatment they had received from various members of the royal family. In the interview, Markle told Oprah that she had severe mental health problems and racist attitudes. Of the topics discussed during the interview on Sunday, one conversation about how dark skinned the couple’s son, Archie, would be, stood out the most, including Colberts.

“I’m going to make an effort here and say that there is a possibility that this medieval, selective breeding program is racist,” Colbert said.
As a number of viewers, 17 million Americans more specifically, tuned in to the drama, many celebrated Winfrey’s interview skills. The host of the Late Show praised Winfrey for the “amazing interview”.
Jimmy Kimmel also praised the television icon for her skills, wishing that “there is some way these Oprah specials can vaccinate us too”. The Jimmy Kimmel Live presenter, who said he was initially not interested in seeing the CBS special, found the interview an “exciting two hours”.
In summing up the explosive conversation, Kimmel didn’t just shoot the royal family.
“Harry made a number of surprising allegations, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo vigorously denied them all, just out of reflex today,” Kimmel quipped.
The late night host also took on the monarchy’s inability to keep Archie safe, their concerns about the baby’s skin and the alleged racist actions against the former royal couple.
“Harry said racism was a big part of their decision to leave,” Kimmel continued. “They know that Buckingham Palace is going badly when they come to America to escape racism.
