The Mail’s front page on Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview was peak DM – 12 frank opinions
Harry and Meghan’s revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey had already been firmly in the spotlight all day, by the time it was broadcast on UK television on Monday night.
Twitter nearly burst into flames with the sheer number of hot takes and we’d rather not guess at what it did to Piers Morgan’s blood pressure.

As previews of Tuesday morning’s front pages arrived, it became clear where the Daily Mail laid blame for Harry and Meghan describing their bad experiences as a Royal couple.
As a response to accusations that the British tabloid press was a huge factor in the Sussexes leaving the country, it’s not the ‘gotcha’ the Mail seems to think.
Here’s what Twitter thought of it.

After saying "we're not bigoted," why not dedicate 25 pages to punching down even after being sued.

“Queen, 94” has a real reddit forum vibe. “I’m the Queen (F, 94) & my grandson (M, 36) + his mrs (F, 39) are briefing against me, AITA?” pic.twitter.com/DJx1vOrZpr

Interesting that it suddenly becomes “their” family when it’s a negative story after spending years basically telling Meghan she’s not welcome pic.twitter.com/aAGCbALWcR

Finally, @MrKenShabby suggested a more fitting priority.
