Prime Minister Scott Morrison weighs in on Meghan and Harry’s bombshell interview

The PM addresses the couple's "family troubles." - by Faye Couros
  • 11 Mar 2021

This morning Prime Minister Scott Morrison appeared on Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa to discuss his feelings about the shocking Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview that's dominated headlines this week.

LISTEN BELOW: Prime Minister Scott Morrison talks about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview on Fitzy & Wippa.

Meghan and Harry spoke to Oprah Winfrey about their harrowing experiences within the royal family and revealed many damning reasons that lead to their exit. 

The interview covered their experiences with misogyny, issues with specific family members, mental health and racism.

Keen to find out how ScoMo felt about the revelations, Fitzy asked the politician to provide the Australian public, which is still part of the Commonwealth, with his take.

“You’ve gotta feel for people in the situations, they’re having some family troubles. People have family troubles, it happens, we all have them from time to time,” answered the PM.

Fitzy wanted to know if Scott managed to find time in his busy schedule to sit down with his wife Jenny to watch the interview.

Australians can be assured that the PM watched the program with his wife, one of his closest advisers.

“I did. We met them both when they came out to Australia. They were lovely, they had a great time when they were in Australia and it was great to host them,” he said.

During Meghan and Harry’s interview, they spoke about how their time touring Australia was a turning point in their relationship with the royal family.

Since the PM spent some time with the couple during their time down under, Fitzy asked him if he “spot anything” that confirmed their allegations.

He replied, “No, I just found them both doing the best I possibly could to be supportive of Australia and I saw them both working together as a team as you can expect royals to be in those situations and they were very committed to the work they were doing and very passionate about being there.”

Scott Morrison was on the radio program to discuss the new ticket to recovery initiative, which is set to support domestic travel by offering 800,000 half-price airfares to encourage Australians to experience more of the country.

"They were lovely," ScoMo said of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
