Harry and Meghan interview: Race claim royal ‘was not Queen and Prince Philip’

Oprah fuels fallout from Harry and Meghan interview

Prince Harry denied it was the Queen or Prince Philip who expressed concern about the skin colour of his unborn son, narrowing down the identity of the royal family member who made the alleged comment.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed they fled Britain because of racism and accused the Queen of snubbing them when they first returned from Canada in newly broadcast sections of an explosive interview.
