London (CNN)Every family has its breakdowns, but the outside world doesn't usually hear about them. The royal family doesn't like to air its dirty laundry in public either, traditionally preferring to adopt Queen's mantra of "never complain, never explain." So, when there's a wobble in that stiff upper lip, people lap up every detail.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex exposed a major schism in the Windsor clan in March, and gave their story to the world's most high-profile interviewer, Oprah Winfrey. Much has been written about their revelations. But most of it has been from the Sussex point of view -- because it's pretty much all we have.
There have been indications from the palaces that suggest disquiet, but unofficial policy has been to "retain a dignified silence" in the face of the allegations against the family, ranging from racism to neglect.
Emily Nash, royal editor at Hello! Magazine, says there's "no doubt the Oprah interview had a huge impact on the family and the institution."
"I think there was a lot of hurt on both sides," she tells CNN, adding that "the timing of the interview, inadvertently coinciding with Prince Philip's hospitalization, was unfortunate."
In the immediate aftermath, the only official statement came from Queen. There were no words from Princes Charles or William. Instead, both continued their diary of engagements. William was thrown a question in a rare breach of protocol by a British reporter. He responded only to say the royal family "is very much not racist." Neither have granted any interviews on the subject since, though we did raise it with Prince Edward, who refused to be drawn.
The family have clearly decided to ride this out. The last time they engaged in a public war of words was in the 1990s when the court of public opinion took the side of Princess Diana side rather than Charles, to the detriment of the monarchy.
This time, public reaction has been more complex. The struggles Harry and Meghan spoke of resonated with some because, at the heart of it, they were about identity. Some Britons (and others in the Commonwealth) have been left asking themselves if the monarchy still represents them.

"It really divided opinion in the UK, with younger people tending to side with Harry and Meghan and older people staying firmly loyal to the Queen and her family," says Nash. "It was a huge talking point at the time, but I wonder if some of that impact has diminished now. Certainly, the images of the Queen sitting alone at Prince Philip's funeral ... elicited enormous sympathy with the public."
American-British playwright, author and columnist Bonnie Greer feels it has left a lasting mark. "It feels like the interview may have collided with a generational shift in regards to the family," she says, citing Barbados recently becoming a republic as an example of how times are changing.
