The ongoing feud between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and several royal family members has been reignited with the updated chapters of the bombshell book Finding Freedom.
According to one of the book’s authors, Omid Scobie, who is also a friend of the Sussexes, Meghan Markle is not thrilled about how Queen Elizabeth II and the Palace are handling the racism claims she levied during her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry revealed that a senior royal family member asked about the skin tone of their son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor before he was born.
At the time, the former actress and philanthropist made this explosive confession: “There were several concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born. That was relayed to me by Harry. Those were conversations that family had with him.”
Prince Harry confirmed that the insensitive conversation took place by telling Winfrey: “But it was right at the beginning. What will the kids look like? That was at the beginning when she wasn’t going to get security when my family suggested that she might continue acting (because there wasn’t going to be money for her).”
Meghan Markle’s preferred journalist revealed that the Queen and the British monarchy as a whole are accused of ignoring the revelations instead of dealing with them head-on.
A royal source claims that royals have their fingers crossed that if they look the other way and pretend like they never heard Meghan Markle’s words — the scandal will go away.
A royal source told the authors: “There is a feeling that if it’s ignored, it will go away, but surely by now they should have learned that that never happens?”
A friend of Meghan Markle revealed what she said about the situation: “Months later, and little accountability has been taken. How can you move forward without that?”
Despite not getting the reaction that she had hoped for, Meghan Markle revealed that she found the bombshell interview “cathartic” and “liberating.”
On the other side of the pond, the chat left Prince William “furious that private family matters were being discussed in the public domain.”
While Elizabeth II has not directly responded to the accusations, royal insiders say she is horrified by them.
However, Prince William spoke to a group of reporters and denied the allegations made by his sister-in-law.
The heir to the throne stated: “The Royal Family was very much not racist.”
Note that Winfrey has confirmed that it was neither Queen Elizabeth nor the late Prince Philip who made the race-related comments about their great-grandson.
