The Queen has said that she is saddened to hear of how challenging the past years have been for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex but has underlined that issues raised in their interview with Oprah Winfrey will be handled behind Palace doors.
The full statement reads: ”The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan. The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
The statement comes almost 48 hours after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke to Oprah Winfrey. In the interview, both referenced a conversation between Harry and an unnamed member of the Royal Family who questioned how dark Archie’s skin would be. Meghan also spoke of feeling suicidal while expecting her first child.
