Meghan, the wife of Britain’s Prince Harry, has said that there were concerns about how dark her son Archie’s skin would be prior to his birth and that those concerns explain why he was not given the title of prince.
The Duchess of Sussex, whose mother is black and her father is white, said she was naive before marrying the royal family in 2018 but ended up having suicidal thoughts and considering self-harm after asking for help but not getting any.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey shown on CBS in the US, Meghan said: “They didn’t want me to be a prince or a princess, not knowing what the gender would be, what would be different from protocol, and what was not.” you will receive security.
“In those months when she was pregnant, around the same time, we have in tandem the conversation of ‘they won’t give you security, they won’t give you a title’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark her skin is. It could be when she is born.” .
She declined to say who had expressed such concerns.
When asked if she was silent or had been silenced, she replied, “The latter.”
The long-awaited interview comes amid a bitter dispute between Meghan and Harry on the one hand and the British monarchy on the other.
The couple, who married in 2018, left their royal duties and are beginning a new life in the United States.
Prince Harry said he left out of lack of understanding and because he was concerned that history would repeat itself, a reference to the 1997 death of his mother, Diana.
She said she hadn’t caught her grandmother, the queen, by surprise, as she respected her too much, although her father, Prince Charles, had stopped taking her calls.
Harry said, “I had three conversations with my grandmother and two conversations with my father before he stopped taking my calls. And then he said, can you put all this in writing?”
Detractors say the couple wants the glamor of their positions without the dedication it requires or the scrutiny that comes with it.
For her supporters, her treatment shows how an outdated British institution has lashed out at a modern, biracial woman, with overtones of racism.
That accusation is likely to gain momentum in light of Meghan’s comments about her son.
There have also been allegations of bullying against Meghan that first appeared in The Times newspaper in the run-up to the interview.
Buckingham Palace, which has so far not commented on the interview, said it would investigate the allegations, adding it was “very concerned.”
In response to the report, a spokeswoman for Meghan said she was “saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been bullied herself.”
Meghan said that people within the royal institution not only failed to protect her against malicious claims, they lied to protect others.
“It was only once we got married and it really started to get worse that I came to understand that not only was I not protected, but that they were willing to lie to protect other family members.
“There is the family, and then there are the people who run the institution, those are two separate things and it is important to be able to divide that because the queen, for example, has always been wonderful to me.”
Meghan denied a news story that she had made Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, cry before the wedding and said it was a turning point in her media relations.
Meghan said: “That was a turning point.”
When asked if she made Catherine cry, Meghan replied, “The opposite happened.
“A few days before the wedding I was upset about something, as for yes, the topic was correct about flower girl dresses, and it made me cry. And it really hurt my feelings,” Meghan said.
She also told Oprah that she had been naive before her wedding and that she did not realize what she was marrying when she joined the British royal family.
