The full impact of the revelations remains to be seen, with one royal biographer saying there is "no coming back" for the pair.

So far, there has been a wall of silence from the royal family following the explosive interview given by Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex to Oprah Winfrey in which allegations were made of racism within the palace and a lack of support from the royal family over mental health issues and media intrusion.

The Palace is said to have held "crisis talks," according to British media reports, including the BBC, with senior royals reported to have had urgent discussions over how to limit the fallout from the interview, which saw Harry and Meghan allege that a member of the royal family had questioned what skin tone their then-unborn child might have.

Oprah Winfrey later clarified that the royal who had made the comment was not Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip.

Some, like Charles Anson, a former press secretary to the Queen, has told Sky News the palace will be looking for reconciliation and to avoid exacerbating the situation in its response, ABC (Australia) report.

Prince Charles had stopped taking Harry calls - still had a good relationship with the Queen

uring the Winfrey interview, Prince Harry said he had been cut off from his father, both emotionally and financially.

He said Prince Charles had stopped taking his calls at one point and the relationship was still being repaired.

"There's a lot to work through there," he said.

"I feel really let down because he's been through something similar.

"He knows what pain feels like and Archie is his grandson.

Of course, I will always love him, but there's a lot of hurt that's happened.

"And I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try to heal that relationship."

Prince Harry said he was also cut off financially from his family.

After losing his security detail after stepping down as a working royal, Prince Harry said he was forced to use the inheritance his mother had left him to look after his wife and child.

However, Prince Harry said he still had a good relationship with his grandmother, the Queen.
