Read our privacy policy John Oliver has offered his thoughts on Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, saying he was not surprised by Meghan’s description of her experience with the royal family. At the time, Oliver told The Late Show's Stephen Colbert: “I don't think you need to have just seen the pilot episode of The Crown to get a basic sense that might be marrying into a family that could cause her some emotional complications.” He said of the royal family in general: “They're an emotionally stunted group of fundamentally flawed people doing a very silly pseudo job.” Speaking to Fallon, Oliver said the Oprah interview was “amazing” but that few of the revelations surprised him. “That is kind of what I felt like, sadly, her experience was going to be going in.” The British-born TV host explained that, having grown up observing the royal family from a distance, he believed them to be “flawed people… that’s literally the kindest way I could possibly put it”. “The one person who I think has been really happy about all this has been Prince Andrew,” Oliver said.
