All the drama and secrets spilled during the recently released interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has truly cause a stir amongst the public.
So it did come as a shock when Prince William became the first senior royal family member to comment to the public on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s big and shocking Oprah interview. The Prince however was rather mum and spoke very little regarding the issue at hand, but he did take a moment to respond to Meghan and Harry’s claims that the royal family had concerns about how dark the skin of their then-unborn son Archie would be in the most racist of ways.
During the appearance, one Sky News reporter, asked, “Is the royal family a racist family,” to which William responded, “We are very much not a racist family.” As fans have soon come to know, William and his royal family, never did speak out against the British tabloids’ after years-long racist smear campaign against Meghan once news released she married into the family.
William was also asked if he and his brother Harry have spoken since the interview. “No, I haven’t spoken to him yet, but I will do,” he said.
In the Oprah interview, Meghan openly discussed how the royal family did not support her or protect her against the vast numbers of tabloid abuse. “Yeah, there was [a breaking point],” she said. “I just didn’t see a solution. I would sit up at night, and I was just like, ‘I don’t understand how all of this is being churned out’—and again I wasn’t seeing it—but it’s almost worse when you feel it through the expression of my mom or my friends or them calling me crying like, ‘Meg, they’re not protecting you.’ And I realized it was all happening just because I was breathing.” Meghan went on to say she struggled with suicidal thoughts and the royal family refused to let her check into an institution for help.
