Members of the Royal Family have been accused of shocking racism by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, with Oprah’s interview delivering the goods — a spectacular assault on the Royals.

The most memorable moment was when Meghan announced to Oprah that she and Harry’s son, Archie, would not be granted the title of prince and, as a result, would have no protection.

Meghan then fired the shot, claiming people had conversations with her while she was still pregnant, saying Archie’s skin might be too dark for the role. Oprah was shocked and speechless, and when she asked Meghan who made such a remark, Meghan stayed quiet.

Then, almost inadvertently, she said these were conversations with “family” a minute later.

Prince Harry later appeared on the show and reiterated Meg’s argument that race was brought up in relation to their son, Archie, and also went on to state that it was brought up early and often.

Oprah pressed Harry for more details, but he declined to say anything about what was said or who supposedly said it. He’s basically taking it to the grave — but he did mention this: “It was obvious from the start with Meghan that race was on the Royal Family’s mind, and that it would be tough to handle.”

Since The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not name the royal who made the racist remark about Archie, it meant that the whole family is possibly racist in the eyes of the public. This includes Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince William and Kate, and other senior royals, apart from the Queen and Prince Phillip who were spared.

Twitter users took it upon themselves to debate who was the racist royal and this put a bad light on everyone.

He said that questions were brought up to him about Meghan, such as demands that she continue her acting career because the Family reportedly didn’t have enough money to help her or have protection. He also said that the question was posed: “what would their kids look like?”

Palace Response

The royal family will discuss the allegations of racism raised by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle earlier this week privately, according to Buckingham Palace.

The remarks, made in a statement on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II, was the first from the palace since the royal family was rocked by a two-hour television interview with Meghan and Harry. Meghan, who is biracial, said the palace refused to help her while she had suicidal thoughts and that an anonymous member of the royal family expressed “concerns” about the colour of her baby’s skin when she was pregnant with Archie.

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

Prince William says royals are not racist

In his first public remarks since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince William denied Britain’s royal family were racist.

“We’re not a racist family,” William said in response to media questions when he and his wife, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, visited a school in east London.

William added that he hadn’t spoken to his brother yet, “but I plan to.”
