King Charles Opens Up About Meghan Markle’s Racism Claims in Revealing Letter
New insights into King Charles' feelings regarding Meghan Markle's allegations of racism within the royal family have surfaced, thanks to a recently released book.
The revelations stem from private letters exchanged between the King and the Duchess of Sussex following her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
In March 2021, during that memorable chat with Oprah, Meghan made headlines when she claimed an unnamed royal had expressed concerns about the potential skin color of her son, Archie.
This shocking assertion sent ripples through the monarchy and prompted King Charles to reach out to Meghan directly.
Omid Scobie, a royal author and close friend of both Harry and Meghan, has provided a closer look at their correspondence in his new book, “Endgame.”
According to reports from The Sun, Scobie reveals that Meghan specifically identified two members of the royal household who were involved in discussions about Archie's skin color.
These claims were documented in private letters sent to Charles shortly after her interview aired.
Meghan felt it was crucial to confront what she perceived as unconscious bias and ignorance within the royal family.
Leaked excerpts from Scobie's book indicate that Charles wanted to clarify his stance on the issue.
He reportedly conveyed to Meghan that he did not believe there was any malice or casual prejudice in the conversations regarding Archie.
This response suggests a desire for understanding and reconciliation amidst the ongoing tensions.
During her interview with Oprah, Meghan refrained from naming the individuals involved in those troubling discussions, citing concerns that doing so would be “very damaging” to them.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry has also distanced himself from outright accusations of racism while promoting his memoir, “Spare,” although he hinted at the existence of unconscious bias within the royal family.
Scobie, who previously authored the biography “Finding Freedom,” has often been viewed as an advocate for the Sussexes.
While he has faced scrutiny over whether the couple assisted him in writing his books, a High Court case last year hinted that they may have shared favorable stories through an aide.
The narrative surrounding the Sussexes and the royal family continues to evolve, with Scobie's latest work shedding light on the dynamics at play.
In a particularly poignant moment, Harry reportedly confronted his father, asking, “Don't you want to see your grandchildren anymore?” This comment came after Charles instructed the couple to return the keys to Frogmore Cottage, just days after the release of Harry's memoir.
