The Queen and Prince Philip are not behind the ‘concerns’ about the colour of Harry and Meghan’s son Archie’s skin, according to Oprah Winfrey.
Oprah said Prince Harry insisted she make it public that his grandmother and grandfather were not behind the reported comments.

Harry and Meghan welcomed Archie in May 2019, but the months prior to his birth were filled with conversations with the family about his skin colour, Meghan has said.
“In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time, we have in tandem the conversation of he won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title, and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” Meghan told Oprah.
Meghan said she thought about suicide after marrying into the royal family.
“I was ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry. But I knew that if I didn’t say it — then I would do it,” the Duchess of Sussex told Oprah.
In February, the couple announced that they were expecting a second child and they have revealed it is a girl.
“To have any child, any one or any two would’ve been amazing, but to have a boy and then a girl — what more could you ask for?” said Harry.
And before marrying Meghan, Harry said he didn’t realise he was “trapped” in the royal family.
