Meghan Markle says royal family had ‘concerns’ over son’s skin color

Meghan Markle revealed Sunday night that the royal family raised “concerns” with Prince Harry over how dark son Archie’s skin might be.

Markle said in her tell-all Oprah interview that while still pregnant with Archie, she was told her son wouldn’t have a royal title and that they wouldn’t be entitled to security.

Asked by Oprah whether she thinks it was “because of his race,” Markle appeared to agree.

“All around this same time — we have in tandem the conversation of, ‘He won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title,’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” she replied.

Markle would not say who the conversations were with, but claimed there were “several” about the potential color of Archie’s skin.

“About how dark your baby is going to be?” Oprah asked.

“Potentially, and what that would mean or look like,” Markle replied.

Purple Rain will fall if that kid is ever named Prince.

I’m just saying that she doesn’t outwardly appear black or biracial. I mean I see how she is half back but it’s not immediately apparent like with Hussein.

That is irrelevant point.
What is more relevant is that that her majesty does not like either one.

Why did the Prince cut his hair?

Because if he was Harry, he wouldn’t be a Prince anymore

People are missing the reality. The royal family is full of leftist dunces like Prince Charles. This was in the context of losing their security detail. The comment appears to be by a leftist who said their black child might be in danger in America.

Then cue Oprah’s knee-jerk racist reaction.

Don’t forget Thomas has skin tone similar to Harry.

Big surprise, Meghan is playing the race card for attention.

I see your point. Yes, that makes sense, that the leftist family member was more concerned about racism affecting their darker-toned children, rather than being concerned in a racist manner, as Oprah ignited with a blow torch.

William is the queen’s grandson. We kniw little if Edward. Too bad Anne was not born first. She is a work horse. It would be great if a DNA test on Harry was done now.

The news story you linked is propaganda. Starts off with a lie & keeps on running.

Back in 1917, King George V restricted the number of family members who could rock a royal title, and naturally, he phrased it in the most complicated and annoying way possible:

“The grandchildren of the sons of any such Sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of Dukes of these Our Realms.”

The titles of“prince” and“princess” are restricted to the children of the sovereign (e.g., Prince Charles, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne), the children of the sovereign’s sons (e.g., Prince Harry and Prince William), and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales (e.g., Prince George). But since Prince Harry is the second son of Prince Charles, his kids are not guaranteed the title of“prince” or “princess.”

Princess Charlotte got to be called“princess” since she’s not“the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales.” because in 2013, Queen Elizabeth II issued a letters patent that removed the first-kid-only decree.

Queen Elizabeth can offer the title of prince to other children, rumor says she did offer Anne’s children the right to the title but Anne refused.

Complete BS.

Maybe, maybe someone speculated but even that is dubious. Anyone around her, knew she was trouble 5 minutes into this.

Add to that, the fact that she's barely black.

....Which means she bleached the hell out of her skin, because she in reality is the racist and ashamed of her skin color.

Didn’t watch it and could care less.

Harry is as dumb as a box of rocks, his wife a self-centered “victim” who inevitably pulled out the race card when she didn’t get her way.

Stop giving them attention they do not deserve. Same with Oprah Winfrey who said “old white people are just going to have to die.”
