FACTBOX-Reactions to Prince Harry and Meghan's TV interview with Oprah Winfrey
NEWS CORRESPONDENT "You know why Black women believe Meghan? And how they slowly drive you insane." BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM, U.S. BLACK ACTIVIST AND PODCAST HOST "The difference in treatment between Meghan and Kate is one of the clearest examples of the misogynoir at play & is a reminder that if they can do that to a Duchess, it’s happening to Black women *everyday*."
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan on Sunday gave their first major TV interview since stepping back from the British royal family a year ago. Following is a selection of reactions on Twitter:

DAN WOOTTON, FORMER CORRESPONDENT OF BRITAIN'S SUN NEWSPAPER "Make no mistake, Meghan has just declared war on the Royal Family, telling Oprah: "They were willing to lie to protect other members of the family."
SAEED JONES, U.S. AUTHOR "WHEW, they almost killed this woman. I'm so glad Meghan and Harry got that baby and got the hell out of there."
ANA NAVARRO-CARDENAS, GUEST CO-HOST OF TH TALK SHOW 'THE VIEW' "OOF. There hasn't been this much English tea spilled in America, since the Boston Tea Party."
ABBY D. PHILIP. CNN POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT "This is heartbreaking."

BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM, U.S. BLACK ACTIVIST AND PODCAST HOST "The difference in treatment between Meghan and Kate is one of the clearest examples of the misogynoir at play & is a reminder that if they can do that to a Duchess, it's happening to Black women *everyday*."
