The revelations of Meghan Markle in her confession interview with Oprah Winfrey last March still shake the British royal family. Prince Harry’s wife said in particular that a member of royalty had expressed concerns about the skin color their children would have. The name of the author of these racist remarks seems to have been released.
Christopher P. Andersen is the author of a new book on the British Royal Family, titled Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan. He is interested in the lives of princely couples formed by Prince William and Kate Middleton and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Regarding the latter, the journalist confirms with the help of a source, the statements of the Duchess of Sussex on the questions that would have been asked a member of the royalty.
What skin tone do you think their children will have?
The remarks were said to have been made on November 27, 2017, the day of the announcement of the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Their author, Prince Charles, reportedly told his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: “I wonder what the kids are going to be like.“Astonished by this remark, Camille would have answered:”Well, I’m sure they’ll be gorgeous.“Prince Charles would then have insisted by asking:”What I mean is, what do you think their kids will have?“
In her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had the name of the person curious about their child’s skin. A press secretary for Prince Charles reacted without delay to the New York Post. “This is fiction and not worth more commentary“, entrusted the collaborator of the prince to the New York daily newspaper.
Prince Charles was reportedly devastated after Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey aired. His son had also explained that he would have dropped them during the Megxit in January 2020, both financially and morally. Harry had had the food cut by his family (the bulk of his income from the Duchy of Cornwall, that of his father) and Prince Charles would have declined several calls from his son, the time he had found refuge in Canada with Meghan and their son Archie.
Harry and Meghan have since welcomed a second child, a girl named Lilibet, on June 4, 2021.
