The excitement on Twitter was palpable after Meghan and Harry's explosive interview with Oprah aired on Sunday in the United States. Even before the interview aired, rumours flew thick and fast about what the couple would reveal in their first interview after they quit the royal family and relocated to North America last year. With "no questions off limits", Meghan spoke about how isolating life was as a member of the British Royal Family, how she faced negative press coverage that affected her mental health to the point where she had suicidal thoughts and, perhaps in the most shocking revelation of all, said that a member of the institution had raised concerns about "how dark" her son Archie would be.
The bombshell revelations generated a huge buzz on social media. On Twitter, Meghan Markle, Queen and The Crown trended high, along with #OprahMeghanHarry.
Take a look at some of the funniest memes that came out of the explosive interview:
