Author Bonnie Greer appeared on Jeremy Vine and claimed the US now sees the UK as “the nice lady down the road with bodies buried in her garden” after Prince Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview.
The London-based playwright and novelist said that she had been “up all night defending this country on American television.”
During the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah, they claimed that a senior royal asked Harry how “dark” his son’s skin would be.
Meghan told the chat show host that she was denied support while she was having suicidal thoughts and struggling with her mental wellbeing. The couple also claimed that Archie was denied the title of the prince as he is mixed-race.
Buckingham Palace is now under pressure to issue a response to the damaging claims.
“That’s how bad it is,” Bonnie told the host. “You know what this country looks like now? It looks like the nice lady living down the road, people went to her house and found out there are bodies buried in the garden. You don’t come back from that.”
“Oh my goodness,” Jeremy expressed, adding: “We really look sinister, do we?”
“Bad, bad, bad,” Bonnie said.
“It’s ‘the United Kingdom is at fault’… love this country, this country’s been really good to me, I’m heartbroken about this, because like I said, I’ve been on air last night on American television telling people ‘it’s not what you think’, you know, ‘I don’t know what’s going on in the Royal Family, most people don’t, y’know, Her Majesty has 65 years of service, don’t put it on her’.”
Bonnie continued: “But people are saying, ‘well what kind of country is that that even allows something like this to happen?’”
She also said that the US previously looked at Britain and thought it an “incredibly wonderful place.” However, Oprah’s reaction during the interview summed up people’s reactions across the states.
“The fact that this was going on and this woman had to be driven out?” Bonnie said.
“Listen, the signal was Oprah Winfrey’s face. That’s what people should have paid attention to, not even what Harry and Meghan was saying, it was Oprah’s face,” she continued.
“And Oprah was going (hands to her open mouth)… that’s what America was doing and it wasn’t about the Royal Family.”
