The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey is the most searched interview in Google Trends history.
The search engine published its “Year in Search” list for 2021 on 8 December, finding that the interview dominated searches in March.
During the two-hour sit-down interview, which aired in the US on 7 March and a day later in the UK, the couple made several revealing but not so much surprising (if you were following Harry and Meghan honestly) statements.
Meghan Markle said she had felt suicidal while living and working as a member of the royal family and that when she tried to seek professional help, she was told it wouldn’t be good for the institution.
Prince Harry and Meghan officially stepped down from their duties as senior members of the royal family in March 2020.
Elsewhere in the interview, Harry revealed that he does not have a relationship with his brother, Prince William.
“The relationship is space, at the moment. Time heals all things, hopefully,” he said.
He also revealed he had been “financially” cut off by his family and that his father, Prince Charles, was not picking up his calls.
