The pair did confirm that the person sharing “concerns” about Archie was neither Queen Elizabeth II nor her late husband, Prince Philip, who died in April at age 99.
Prince Harry admitted to Winfrey that he felt “trapped” by his role in the royal family, he added that he felt William was in the same boat. “My father, and my brother, they are trapped,” he said. “They don’t get to leave. And I have huge compassion for that.”
