A controversy that began over two years ago in an interview between Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Oprah Winfrey has now engulfed two of the biggest names in Britain’s royal family.
King Charles III and his daughter-in-law Kate, the Princess of Wales, have been identified by the British press as the two royals named in the initial Dutch publication of the book “Endgame” as allegedly being involved in conversations about the skin tone of Harry and Meghan’s son Archie prior to his birth in 2019.
In their 2021 interview with Winfrey, the Sussexes claimed that ahead of Archie’s birth, there were conversations with Harry about what color his skin might be. Archie, who is now 4, was the first American British biracial royal born in the U.K., and is also widely considered to be the first mixed race child born into the royal family.
Both Harry and Meghan declined to identify in their interview with Winfrey who within the royal family had discussed the subject with Harry.
