Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are facing calls to speak up on behalf of King Charles after he was named as one of the alleged “Royal racists” in a new report. The Telegraph cites two sources close to the Royal Family as urging the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to defend Charles amid renewed claims of racism. Piers Morgan recently identified the King as one of the senior Royals allegedly named in a Dutch translation of a new book on the issue.
According to Piers, Kate Middleton, Prince William’s wife, was also named in the book as having made remarks about Archie’s skin color. The context of these alleged remarks has yet to be revealed, but Meghan brought it up in her interview with Oprah Winfrey. When asked if the conversations suggested that Archie being “brown” and too dark would “be a problem,” Meghan said it was a safe assumption to make.
Meghan also wrote letters to Charles after the fact about these alleged remarks, as revealed in Omid Scobie’s book, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.” Scobie claims that the people who allegedly made comments about Archie’s skin were named in this correspondence, which somehow leaked in the Netherlands.
Since these allegations came to light in 2021, Harry has pushed back on what he and Meghan actually alleged about his family. He has suggested that the media warped their statements into a racism accusation and now merely implies implicit bias.
Now, as Charles and Kate’s names are being thrown around as alleged racists, insiders are questioning Harry and Meghan’s silence. They point out that the couple sought the Palace’s help when they first got together and Meg’s name was being dragged through the mud. Harry and Meghan have previously claimed that the Palace’s silence was part of a coordinated campaign and have accused the Royals of being in bed with the British press.
The irony is not lost on many that the Palace now wants Harry and Meghan to defend Charles. Fans of the couple see this as overdue revenge. The whole racism storyline had seemingly died down, but it has been reignited thanks to Omid Scobie’s book and Piers Morgan’s comments.
It remains to be seen whether Harry and Meghan will speak up on behalf of Charles and Kate amidst these renewed allegations. The silence from the couple, who have been vocal about their experiences within the Royal Family, is causing speculation and leaving many curious about their stance on the matter.
In the end, the truth about these alleged racist comments and the involvement of Charles and Kate remains unclear. But one thing is for sure, this controversy continues to fuel the ongoing drama within the Royal Family.
