Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, according to the royal expert, were not the members of the royal family who expressed concern about how dark Archie’s skin might be.
Meghan Markle reveals in her ongoing Oprah interview that while she was still pregnant with Archie, she was told that her son would have no royal title and that they were not entitled to safety.
There were ‘concerns and conversations about how dark his skin could be when he was born’, she said.
The Duchess of Sussex declined to say who raised the issues, but a royal viewer told The Sun that the queen and her husband were not part of it.
“I must be clear here, I said it is not the Queen, and that it is not the Duke of Edinburgh,” Chris Ship, the Royal Editor of ITV News, told the publication.
“It therefore leaves only two family members,” he added. “The two people you stay with are either his father Prince Charles or his brother Prince William or their wives.”
However, the royal expert said the queen did not get away unscathed from the bombing.
“It’s quite serious,” he continues. “They protected the queen through this. But they also criticize the institution for which he is head, and therefore you criticize his grandmother the queen. ‘
When asked about the conversation later in the interview, Harry refuses to elaborate much further.
“I’m never going to share that conversation, but when it was uncomfortable, I was a little shocked,” he said.
But did he say the discussion of ‘what will the children look like there’? came ‘right at the beginning’.
“It was at the beginning, when she would not get security, when members of my family suggested that she keep acting because there was not enough money to pay for her, all this,” he said.
“There were still some clear signs before the wedding that it was going to be really difficult.”
Archie, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was born in May 2019.
The couple is expecting a second child and has revealed that it will be a girl on Sunday night.
