%27Meghan…suicidal…as%20Harry%20reveals…baby%20Girl%27%3A%20How%20the%20Daily%20Mail%20covered%20the%20interview

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey has drawn the ire of the British tabloids, which have been hostile towards the interview since even before it aired. 

While the British media have a history of altercations with the couple, the latest interview, which has revealed deep rifts within the Royal family, has escalated the issue exponentially. 

One example of wall-to-wall coverage of the interview can be seen in the publication Daily Mirror, which tried to fit in every aspect into a single headline, which read, %u201CMeghan claims she was suicidal when she was 5 months pregnant, Kate made HER cry and Royals refused to make Archie a prince because they were worried how ‘dark’ he would be, as Harry reveals their new baby will be a GIRL.”

The outlet published at least 13 stories about the interview, which came after it had earlier dismissed the CBS special broadcast by calling it %u201Ca sideshow%u201D.

In one story, the outlet tore into their talks about the life in America, where they are raising chickens.

Another headline read, “I WANTED TO KILL MYSELF” which ran along with a video on loop from the interview, where Meghan says, “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.”

On the paper’s Monday print edition, the headline stressed on the the controversy surrounding Meghan’s son Archie’s skin. %u201CMEGHAN ACCUSES PALACE OF RACISM,%u201D the front-page headline read.
