Meghan and Harry’s explosive Oprah interview sends shockwaves through the monarchy, leaving the Palace under scrutiny.
Buckingham Palace is under increasing pressure to respond to serious allegations of racism within the royal family following a revealing interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The interview, conducted by Oprah Winfrey, included explosive claims that have raised doubts about the monarchy’s values and practices.
The most shocking revelation came when Harry and Meghan disclosed that a family member had expressed concern about how dark their son Archie’s skin might be before he was born. While Oprah later clarified that neither the Queen nor the Duke of Edinburgh made the comment, the refusal of Harry and Meghan to name the family member involved has led to widespread speculation, leaving several royals under suspicion.
The racism allegation was one of several bombshells in the couple’s tell-all interview, which has rocked the foundations of the royal family. Meghan revealed that, during her pregnancy with Archie, a royal family member raised concerns about the baby’s skin tone, asking how dark it might be. Though Harry denied that his grandparents made the comment, he refrained from revealing the identity of the person involved, citing the potential harm it could cause.
Additionally, Meghan suggested that Archie’s mixed-race heritage was a factor in his being denied the title of prince. According to royal protocols, a grandchild of the sovereign automatically becomes a prince once the heir to the throne ascends, but Archie has not been granted this title.
