'They either have to be private citizens or royals' Poet and activist Amanda Gorman said the royal family "missed out" on Meghan as an "opportunity for change, regeneration, and reconciliation in a new era." "Royalty is not a shield from the devastation and despair of racism," Bernice King, daughter of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., tweeted in support. US broadcaster CNN's political correspondent Abby D. Philip tweeted: "This is heartbreaking." UK reacts British broadcaster and morning talk show host Piers Morgan struck a less friendly tone on Twitter, writing: "This interview is an absolutely disgraceful betrayal of the Queen and the Royal Family. I expect all this vile destructive self-serving nonsense from Meghan Markle — but for Harry to let her take down his family and the Monarchy like this is shameful."
