In an excerpt from the hotly-awaited interview she and her husband, Great Britain’s Prince Harry, conducted with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle accused England’s royal family of lying by “perpetuating falsehoods” and derisively referred to the royal family as “The Firm.”

In the excerpt from the interview, which is scheduled to be aired in the U.S. on Sunday night and England on Monday night, dramatic music underscores Winfrey asking: “How do you feel about the Palace hearing you speak your truth today?” Markle replies, “I don’t know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us. … And, if that comes with risk of losing things, there is a lot that has been lost already.”
