During her interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Duchess of Sussex told Oprah that the Royal family members had conversations with Prince Harry before Archie's birth. They had concerns about the baby's skin colour. She said, "They didn't want him to be a prince or princess, not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol, and that he wasn't going to receive security. In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of, 'you won't be given security, not gonna be given a title' and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born."
