The controversial Oprah Winfrey interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was broadcast on March 8 2021. The “tell-all” interview was a retaliation to the accusations made “behind the scenes” by the Royal Family. The interview announcement was a “surprise” for the senior members because it meant less privacy and more pity for the royal household.       

Andrew Neil, a broadcaster and publisher told Channel 5 royal documentary ‘2021: The Queen’s Horrible Year,’: “It came as a huge surprise to the Royal Family that Harry and Meghan were prepared to do this and to do it with Oprah Winfrey.     

“It surprised, maybe some anger, maybe a little apprehension as well that they were giving this interview because not only had they cut loose and seemed to want their own thing in California but they were gonna wash their dirty linen in public. 

Princess Olga Romanoff, Queen’s third cousin said: “It was much better when the monarch was more of mystique.

“There is less privacy, and I think for their sake, that’s a pity.

Harry and Meghan accused a member of the royal family – not the Queen or Duke of Edinburgh – of racism in shocking claims made during their Oprah Winfrey interview earlier this year.

Meghan said, when she was pregnant with Archie, an unnamed member of the royal family raised “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born”.

Asked whether there were concerns that her child would be “too brown” and that would be a problem, the duchess said: “If that is the assumption you are making, that is a pretty safe one.”

Pushed by Winfrey on who had those conversations, Meghan refused to say, adding: “I think that would be very damaging to them.”

Harry refused to give further details, adding: “That conversation, I am never going to share. At the time it was awkward, I was a bit shocked.”

Clarence House has since dismissed as “fiction” claims in a new book the Prince of Wales was the royal who speculated on the skin colour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s future children.

American author Christopher Andersen alleges in his book Charles made the comment on the day Harry and Meghan’s engagement was announced in November 2017.

In Andersen’s book, Brothers And Wives: Inside The Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan, he writes the prince said to the Duchess of Cornwall “I wonder what the children will look like?”, the New York Post’s Page Six website reported.

When Camilla replied “Well, absolutely gorgeous, I’m certain,” the book claims Charles went on to say “I mean, what do you think their children’s complexion might be?”

A Clarence House spokesman said “This is fiction and not worth further comment”.
