Prince William On Oprah Interview Follows Queen's Statement
Markle and Prince Harry have publicly stated that at the time of their first child's birth, there were "concerns" at Buckingham about how dark the colour of his skin would be. Though the Sussexes didn't reveal the name of the person who made racist remarks, they relayed that it was neither the Queen nor Prince Philip.
Other bombshells they dropped ranged from the palace supposedly preventing their son from a royal title to disallowing Markle from pursuing help for suicidal thoughts. More here.
In the aftermath of the CBS broadcast of the Oprah interview Sunday, sources had revealed there were urgent crisis meetings at the Buckingham Palace. Royal experts had speculated that the interview would have been "devastating" for the royal family. The palace, on behalf of the Queen, issued a rare statement addressing the couple, "The whole family is saddened... The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning... and will be addressed."
