Hundreds more complaints have been logged over the past seven days.
In total, 6,203 have now complained about the two-hour special.
The news comes as Harry jets back to LA to be with pregnant Meghan after his grandfather's funeral - and hours before the Queen's birthday.
It comes as:
- A woman sparked a major security scare after being found wandering around Prince Andrew’s official residence
- The Sun shares 95 special moments as the Queen celebrates her birthday today
- The Duke of York gave the Queen two puppies to help her cope with her husband's loss
- Kate Middleton takes her children George and Charlotte shopping with their pocket money
- The Queen was said to be 'disappointed' with aspects of Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview - and is firmly on Charles and William's side
During the conversation with Oprah, the couple made a series of shocking allegations - most damagingly of all that an unnamed member of the Royal Family had made a racist comment about the colour of son Archie's skin.
The Duchess also said she was prevented from seeking mental health support when she was in crisis.
The fall-out from the interview continues, weeks on.
It's understood the Royal Family were left deeply upset by the allegations made - while the Queen was said to be "disappointed" with some of the claims.
In the days after the interview aired in the UK, Prince William was forced into the unprecedented position of saying the royals "are very much not a racist family".
He spoke out on an official visit to a school after the Queen released a carefully-worded statement saying she was "saddened" by the interview but "recollections may vary".
The chat exposed apparent rifts between the prince and his loved ones.

Harry told Oprah he felt let down by his family - and that he was barely speaking to his brother, describing their relationship now as "space".
He claimed his father Charles stopped taking his calls after Megxit and he was financially cut off by the Royal Family last year.
He also discussed his relationship with William, saying he loved him "to bits" but he and the future king were "on different paths";.
For his part, William was said to be "very upset" with the interview.
Harry saw his family for the first time in more than a year as he returned for Prince Philip's funeral.
After the service, he was seen chatting with Kate and William - although the brothers' relationship is said to remain "extremely frosty".
And he has now returned to the States - despite Charles' desire to spend more time with his youngest son.
Harry is said to have written the Prince of Wales a “deeply personal” note before arriving back in the UK.
