Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Oprah interview sparks 5,000 furious complaints

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Oprah interview anchored more than 5,000 complaints.

Waves of complaints have been flooding the broadcaster watchdog OfCom since the couple sat down with the US talk show host for a tell-all interview.

Staggering 5,178 viewers filed their complaints about the bombshell interview detailing the stars new life across the pond in the US after they stepped down from their Royal duties in 2018.

Fresh eye-popping figures have been released in the latest report supplied by the broadcaster this week, according to The Daily Star.

It followed on from last week's report where 4,398 complaints had been made about the explosive interview.

Among many bombshells dropped, Meghan and Harry claimed they were married three days before their glamorous Royal wedding.

They have since done a U-turn on the claims after the real marriage certificate emerged showing they tied the knot on May 19 when the rest of the world was watching on TV.

Their spokesperson has since told The Sun the ceremony in their back garden at Nottingham Cottage was not a marriage.

The spokesperson said: "They privately exchanged personal vows a few days before their official/legal wedding on May 19."

In the Oprah interview, Meghan said: "You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that."

Elsewhere in the interview, the couple made sensational claims that an unnamed member of the Royal family made a comment about "how dark" their son Archie's skin would be.

Taking centre stage in the world, Meghan and Harry invited the cameras to talk about their personal life since leaving Royal life behind them.

They also announced they would be welcoming a baby girl into their family.

The Mirror has approached ITV representatives for further comment.

What's more the interview riled up Piers Morgan so much he claimed he didn't believe anything Meghan Markle said on a rant on Good Morning Britain.

In dramatic scenes, he stormed off after having an on-air clash with Alex Beresford over the interview.

The presenter then sensationally quit Good Morning Britain as he stood by his beliefs after the Duchess of Sussex herself lodged a complaint against the star.

His opinion also courted controversy with members of the public but many have been petitioning for the star to return to his post on Good Morning Britain.
