Meghan Markle claims that there were two people in the royal household who had “concerns” about the skin color of her and Prince Harry’s then-unborn first child Archie – one of whom was a member of the royal family, the other a member of the family or member of the expanded royal household. Their names and references to “conversations” were written by Meghan in private letters to King Charles in 2021 following the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Sun reports. The royal family member talking about “how dark his (Archie’s) skin might be when he’s born” was mentioned in the couple’s interview with Winfrey. The second person was revealed in Omid Scobie’s new book, Endgame, due out on Tuesday. Meghan also reportedly argued that “unconscious bias and ignorance” within the royal household needed to be addressed. Scobie says he knows the names of the two people, but “the laws in the UK prevent me from reporting who they were.” After the Winfrey interview, the late queen issued a statement saying: “The Issues raised, particularly race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be discussed privately by the family.” Additionally, Prince William said, “We are by no means a racist family.”
