A fourth added: “Is there nothing else going on in the world @BBCBreakfast. No more Harry and Meghan please.”

Ent Daily has contacted reps for BBC Breakfast for comment.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan’s interview – which first aired in the US on Sunday – made a series of claims and revelations.

The Duchess of Sussex spoke candidly about her mental health struggles, revealing she had been suicidal while pregnant with son Archie.

She told Oprah Winfrey: “I was ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry.

“But I knew that if I didn’t say it – then I would do it. I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.”

Meanwhile in the interview, Meghan claimed there were “concerns and conversations about how dark [Archie’s] skin might be when he was born” within the family.

She said: “In those months when I was pregnant, we had in tandem the conversations of him not being given security or a title.

“And also concerns about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”
