Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} Sir Keir Starmer has said the allegations made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in their Oprah interview were a “matter now for the family” to resolve. The Labour leader said earlier this week that Meghan and Harry’s claims of racism and lack of support when she had suicidal thoughts must be taken “very, very seriously”. The palace has now responded and I do think it is a matter now for the family, and I do hope it is resolved as soon as possible.” The Labour leader added: “But the wider issues in society about race and mental health are something for all of us to take seriously.” The palace came under huge pressure to respond to the interview after Meghan claimed that questions had been asked about the skin colour of the couple’s son Archie prior to his birth. Fellow Tory backbencher Steve Brine suggested Joe Biden’s administration should keep out of the matter after the White House press secretary praised the couple’s “courage” in speaking out.
