British Royal Family reacts to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey

The British Royal family has reacted to the  interview given by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with Oprah Winfrey.

Meghan said in the interview with Oprah Winfrey that when she was first pregnant with son Archie there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born”.

Speaking on CBS she declined to say who had this conversation with Harry, which he then relayed to her, saying revealing their name would be “very damaging”.

Meghan also said she was stunned when she was told Archie would not be a prince and would not receive security from the palace.

“They didn’t want him to be a prince or princess, not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol, and that he wasn’t going to receive security,” she said.

“In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of, ‘you won’t be given security, not going to be given a title’, and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”

Reacting to this, their statement reads:

“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
