Meghan Markle, in a sensational interview with Oprah Winfrey, accused the Royal Family of being “concerned” about how dark would Archie’s skin be before he was even born. They were in anticipation and had conservation for Meghan’s baby because the baby is mixed-race.
While talking to Oprah in the interview, Meghan Markle shared that while she was pregnant, in those months, all around that same time, Prince Harry had a back to back conversation with the Royals about Archie (their son) won’t be given security, he’s is not going to be given a title, and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be, were made.
Oprah Winfrey, after listening to Markle appeared stunned. She said “What” and asked again “Who is having this conversation with you (Meghan)?”
To which Markle said members of the royal family expressed concern to Prince Harry about “what it would mean to have dark skin in the skin of a future baby or what it looks like”
“I think it would be very harmful for them,” she said.
Later in the interview, Harry told Oprah that he was not comfortable sharing what was said about Archie’s skin tone.
He said: “That conversation I’m never going to share. At the time, it was strange. I was a little surprised.”
He further shared that this was one of the many signs that made him understand that his relationship with the palace would not be easy to navigate.
Harry added more to the conversation; he said “That was right at the beginning, when she wasn’t going to get security, when members of my family were suggesting that she carries on acting because there’s not enough money to pay for her, and all that sort of stuff.”
“There were some real, obvious signs before we even got married that this was going to be really hard.”
Both Meghan and Harry, during the tell-all interview, revealed their second child’s gender. They told Oprah that “It’s a girl”. While revealing they said that either a boy or a girl would have been good, but having a combination of a boy and a girl, that’s exceptionally great. What more could they ask for.
In the interview, Meghan Markel also shared that she was contemplating suicide between the pressure of handeling the life as a Royal and the way she was being treated by the British media.
She said “I just don’t want to live anymore. That was a very clear and real and fighting constant thought.”
She further disclosed that she was denied any medical help by the officials of Buckingham Palace.
Prince Harry also shared while in the interview with Oprah that his family has cut him off financially. He shared he had three conversations with the Queen, his grandmother and two conversations with his dad, Prince Charles and then he just stopped taking Harry’s calls.
On this he said, “I feel really let down because my father has been through something similar.”
The fact that Royal’s have not been treating the adorable couple has been clear in this interview. Though rumours were always around the corner. We wish the couple a great life and a healthy baby which is due in summer.

On what Diana would have made of everting, Harry tells @oprah “She would feel very angry at how this has panned out and very sad. But all she’d ever want for us is to be happy.” #HarryandMeghan #MeghanandHarryonOprah #OprahMeghanHarry

The Royals never had as much positive press as when Charles married Diana. She breathed life into the monarchy. They hid the big lie (Camilla) from her. Post divorce, Diana became the Queen of Hearts. The Palace never recovered & given a 2nd shot at change, they blew it.

Mehgan’s story & Diana’s story are remarkably similar.
