Meghan and Harry Interview: The Palace has taken the issues of nations very seriously

Bucksham Palace said the race issues raised by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were "related" and the family would address them personally.

In a statement, Palace said "recoveries may vary" but that the claims made in their interview with Oprah Winfrey were "taken very seriously."

Meghan said Winfrey asked Harry an unnamed family member how "dark" their son Archie's skin could be.

The palace says Sussex "always liked family members very much."

Buckingham Palace responded after a crisis meeting with senior royals. Pressure was mounting to respond to the interview where Meghan, the first mixed-race member of the modern Royal Family, commented on their son's skin color.


The statement said a day and a half after the interview was first aired in the United States:

Raised issues, especially racial issues concerning some memory collections may vary, they are taken very seriously and the family will address them personally.

Earlier, during a visit to London, Prince Charles did not speak about the interview, in which Sussex addressed in-depth personal issues of racism, mental health, the media and other members of the Royal Family.

An average of 11.1 million people were broadcast in the UK on Monday night.

In it the Duchess said that there were many times when she “no longer wanted to live” because she found royal life so difficult. He said he sought help from the palace but got nothing.

Meghan said the conversation about how dark her skin could be at the time of Archie's birth "tandem" discussed why she would not be given the royal title and police protection.

As a rule since 1917, the couple's children will not automatically become princesses or princesses - unless the queen intervenes.

Oprah asked her if her child would be "too brown" and worried about what might happen, Meghan said: "It's quite safe if that's what you're guessing."

The couple, however, declined to say which family members commented. "I'm never going to share that conversation," Prince Harry said. "I was a little shocked when it was awkward."

Harry added that no one in his family had ever spoken out in support of Meghan after the news headlines and articles about "colonial undertones."

Meghan's allegations about racism and a lack of mental health support should be taken "very seriously," said Labor leader Sir Kair Starmer.

Downing Street said Prime Minister Boris Johnson watched the interview Monday night, but declined to comment further.
