He told Good Morning Britain: "It was a conversation that Harry had with his family members.

"I should be clear here, I've been told it's not the Queen, and it's not the Duke of Edinburgh.

"So that only leaves two family members.

"The two people you are left with is either his father Prince Charles or his brother Prince William or their wives.

"That's pretty serious.

"They protected the Queen throughout this.

"But equally they are criticising the institution of which she is head, and therefore you're criticising his grandmother the Queen."

Alongside the colour of Archie's skin, Oprah admitted that she was "surprised Harry told me he was 'trapped'," adding that she was not shocked that it happened, but that the Prince was telling her about it.

"You heard me say 'woah' on the tape, I can't believe you're saying this right now," Winfrey added.

Oprah asked Prince Harry on Sunday: "Please explain how you, Prince Harry, raised in a palace and a life of privilege - literally, a prince - how you were trapped?"

"Trapped within the system, like the rest of my family are - my father and my brother, they are trapped," he replied.

Oprah Winfrey said the full interview was three hours and 20 minutes long and was edited down to one hour and 25 minutes for the US broadcast - and the most important question she wanted to answer was "why did they leave?"

She added: "The stories about blindsiding the Queen were very damaging to them and hurtful to them, there had clearly been months and months of preparation before they moved to Canada."
