Watch .. Prince Harry's debut after the controversial interview
The paparazzi caught the first public appearance of Prince Harry in California after the stormy interview he and his wife had with Oprah Winfrey.
The 36-year-old prince appeared on a bicycle, wearing black sunglasses and a gray muzzle. A security team followed him in an SUV while he was traveling around the US state, and neither Meghan Markle nor his son Archie accompanied him.
Prince Harry and his wife Megan abandoned their royal duties in January 2020 and moved with their first son, Archie, to Southern California, US, for a more independent life.
Harry and Meghan's interview on CBS on March 7 shook the royal family - and sparked debates around the world about racism, mental health and even the relationship between Britain and its former colonies.
Fiery interview
Especially after Megan confirmed during the fiery interview that the royal family had refused to make her son Archie a prince, partly due to concerns about his brown skin. She told Oprah that there had been "several conversations" about her son Archie's complexion, and said that revealing who had participated in the talks "would be very harmful to them."
In turn, Harry revealed that his relationship with the Queen was better than ever, but he was "disappointed" by his father Charles, as he revealed how the Prince of Wales stopped answering his calls and isolated him financially.
Commenting on this, Queen Elizabeth responded in a statement published by Buckingham Palace by saying that family members were saddened by the difficult experiences that Harry and his wife had gone through and promised to address, in a private context, what Megan revealed about racist statements about their son.
