Prince Harry News: Should the Queen forgive Duke and Meghan Markle for Oprah's claims? VOTE | Royal | New
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bombshell interview aired in early March and saw the couple make a number of inflammatory allegations about the royal family. The couple accused an anonymous royal of racism, said their son Archie was denied a title of prince and claimed the company did not help Meghan when she felt suicidal. Harry also opened up about the rift between his older brother Prince William.
The claims made in the interview have not been well received in the UK, with royal pundits and fans jumping to the defense of the royal family.
Prince William also responded to the racism allegation and told reporters: “We really are not a racist family.”
Her comment came after Meghan told Oprah that questions were reportedly asked about their child's skin color.
The Duchess said: “During those months that I was pregnant, we had conversations in tandem that he was not receiving any security or title, and we were also concerned about the color of his skin when he was born. .
“They didn't want him to be a prince or a princess, not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol, and that he was not going to be given security.
Meghan told Oprah the conversation took place between a member of the Royal Family and Harry.
She said: "This was reported to me by Harry, these are conversations the family had with him, and I think it was really hard to be able to see them as compartmentalized conversations."
The Duchess did not disclose who made the comment and said: "I think it would be very damaging to them."

Harry said, “I'm part of the system with them, always have been, but I guess - and I'm very aware of it - my brother can't leave this system, but I did.
“My father and my brother are trapped. They can't leave, and I have immense compassion for that. "
Royal expert Robert Jobson told Express.co.uk that the "trick" comment was one of the most damaging in the entire interview.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement in response to the interview, on behalf of the Queen.
It read: “The whole family is saddened to learn how difficult the past few years have been for Harry and Meghan.
“The questions raised, in particular that of race, are worrying.
“While some memories may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be treated by the family in private.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
