“Harry talked to his brother and he talked to his father too. I was told those conversations were unproductive. But they are happy that they at least started a conversation,” said King on Tuesday’s edition of “This. Morning.”
During the couple’s interview with Winfrey, Harry said that his relationship with both men had been virtually cut off – he admitted that he rarely spoke to William and that Charles, his father and heir to the British throne, at one point failed to take his calls. assumed more.
King also suggested the pair were disappointed by Buckingham Palace’s response to their interview.
“I think what still upsets them is that the palace keeps saying they want to fix it privately … yet they believe (that) there are false stories coming out that are still very disparaging towards Meghan,” she said.
“No one in the royal family has already spoken to Meghan at this particular point and I find it frustrating for them to see it being a racial conversation about the royal family when all this time alone they wanted the royals to step in and tell the press to deal with the dishonest, inaccurate false stories that definitely have a racial streak, ”added King.
The presenter also said that both Harry and Meghan want to “move forward” and see “healing in this family”.
Harry and Meghan’s interview has spiraled Buckingham Palace and sparked a nationwide debate about royalty, race and the role of the media in perpetuating xenophobia.
When on a visit to a school in East London last week, a reporter asked if the royals were a “racist family,” the Duke of Cambridge said, “We are not a racist family at all.”
In response to a question as to whether he had spoken to his brother since the interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince William said, “I haven’t talked to him yet, but I will.”
