Buckingham Palace issued its first statement on Tuesday since Prince Harry and Meghan’s shocking interview with Oprah Winfrey. In it, Queen Elizabeth says: “The whole family is sad to hear how challenging the past years have been for Harry and Meghan.”
“The issues raised, especially those of race, are concerning,” the statement continued. “While some memories may differ, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed privately by the family. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be beloved relatives.”
Although the interview was broadcast in the US on Sunday, it was not broadcast in Britain until Monday evening.
Meghan said in the interview that there were “several conversations” among the royals about “how dark” their baby’s skin would be. Oprah confirmed to “CBS This Morning” that Harry said those conversations not involved Queen Elizabeth or her husband, Prince Philip.
This is a groundbreaking story. It will be updated.
