Harry and Meghan say palace raised ‘concerns’ about skin color of their child
LA TimesThe moment everyone in the world has been waiting for — except, perhaps, the press office at Buckingham Palace — has arrived: Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have spilled the royal tea to Oprah Winfrey in “Oprah with Meghan and Harry,” a CBS special. Winfrey asked her whether race might have played a factor in this decision, and Meghan gave what she called an “honest answer” — that during these discussions about their child’s title there were “also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.” When asked for more details, Meghan said there were “several conversations” with Harry about “what that would mean and what that would look like.” Meghan did specify the conversations were with “family.” “They were concerned that if he were too brown, that that would be a problem?” Winfrey asked. “For me, I am just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for her going through this process by herself all those years ago.” Kate made Meghan cry over flower girl dresses, not the other way around Meghan said an early turning point in her relationship with the royal family came about six months after her wedding. If you love her, you don’t have to hate me, and if you love me, you don’t need to hate her.” Prince Charles stopped taking Harry’s calls In the days before Harry and Meghan announced they were going to be stepping away from royal duties, they say they were in contact with both Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles multiple times and that no one was “blindsided” by their decision, as has been claimed. This is not a surprise to anybody, it’s really sad that it’s got to this point, but I have got to do something for my mental health, for my wife’s and for Archie’s as well, because I could see where it was headed.” Harry and Meghan say they’ve watched “some of” “The Crown” The subject came up when Harry said that things really took a turn after he and Meghan toured Australia.
