In early 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan sat down for a blockbuster interview with Oprah Winfrey. The two provided viewers with an insight into what life was like for them inside the royal family. The couple spoke about a range of issues, from racism and lack of mental health support to feeling “let down” by the royal family.
In the interview, Meghan revealed that in the months leading up to the birth of their son, there were conversations within the palace not only about whether Archie would be given a royal title and security but also about “how dark” his “skin might be when he is born.” She said the concerns were relayed to her through Harry but declined to share who made the comments, adding: “I think that would be very damaging to them.” Oprah later revealed that Harry had told her that the royal who made the comments was not the Queen or Prince Philip.
Well now, thanks to a translation error in the Dutch translation of a book by Omid Scobie, we now know the identities of the culprits: King Charles and Kate Middleton. The publishers of the book began pulling the book from the shelves in a desperate attempt to keep the news under wraps-- but the cat was already out of the bag,, so to speak. For days, many British news outlets had avoided reporting on the blockbuster revelations due to fears over legal action from the royal family. But after much speculation and public pressure (and following multiple British newspapers and broadcasters identifying the pair as the royal racists), the BBC named the King and the Princess of Wales as the members of the Royal family at the center of the racism accusations.
