The American co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement is calling for a boycott of the royal family following Meghan Markle’s bombing in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Opal Tometi, 36, told TMZ she believes people should no longer stand at the palace, after the Duchess of Sussex claimed that one member of the family was ‘concerned’ about Archie’s possible skin color when she was pregnant .

Meghan told Oprah there are ‘concerns and conversations about how dark his skin could be when he was born’.

She added: ‘It was passed on to me from Harry. These were conversations the family had with him. ‘

The couple refused to name the person who made the comment, but Prince Harry apparently told Oprah on the air that it was not made by the Queen or Prince Philip.

According to TMZ, Tometi, a prominent activist, said the allegations should make people turn their backs on the royal family.

She said black women like Meghan should believe when they speak out.

Tometi is known as one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement. The group called last summer the center of protest action for racial justice in policing and other matters. Although some of the protests were destructive and violent, many were peaceful.

“Opal Tometi is one of the most influential human rights leaders of our time,” she said. “Opal represents a measure of courage and leadership that most of us read only in black history books,” it states.

She is mentioned in a recent biography as living in New York and the child of Nigerian immigrants to the United States. Tometi grew up in the Phoenix area.

Meanwhile, insiders in the palace reacted with disgust to the allegations by Meghan, saying it was deeply unfair to throw such a damaging accusation around and slander a number of senior royals who are unable to defend themselves.

It was also pointed out that there is no context with the alleged comments, which may shed more light on why it was said.

There was apparently a contradiction left when it was said, while Meghan said it was while she was pregnant, while Harry said it happened before their wedding.

Winfrey said she was ‘shocked’ by the alleged remark about Archie’s skin color, but although she tried to ask Harry for more information, as well as outside the camera, he refused to sell more.

However, he told her that he wanted it to be clear that the person was ‘not his grandmother or his grandfather’.

The claim comes when the Duchess was asked why she believes the royal family is trying to stop her unborn son from becoming a prince.

Meghan said in the interview: “In the months when I was pregnant, we had the same conversation: ‘You will not get security, and you will not get a title’ and it is also about and conversations about how dark his skin can be if he was born. ‘

She packed it into her and discussed how the royal family allegedly stripped Archie of his prince title before he was born, saying that from the beginning of her pregnancy she felt that the rules were being changed for him unfairly and inexplicably.

Oprah was stunned and asked her if the unknown person was worried he would be ‘too brown’.

Meghan replies, “If that’s the assumption you make, it’s pretty safe.”
