MEGHAN Markle has claimed there were “concerns” within the palace about how dark her son Archie’s skin would be.

The Duchess of Sussex has spoken to Oprah Winfrey for a 90-minute special interview, which is currently airing in the US.

She told Oprah that when she was pregnant with Archie there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born”.

Oprah asked, “Who is having that conversation?”

Meghan responded: “That was relayed to me from Harry from conversations that family had with him.”

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

She went on to claim that the convention over whether or not Archie would be titled a prince was being changed for her son.

The Duchess of Sussex also told Oprah Winfrey that the Duchess of Cambridge made her cry ahead of her wedding.

Reports circulated ahead of the Sussexes’ nuptials that Meghan left Kate in tears at Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress fitting.

But Meghan told Winfrey the “reverse happened”.

Meghan said she was not sharing the information to be “disparaging”, but added it was “really important for people to understand the truth”.

“She’s a good person,” the duchess added.

Meghan said Kate was “upset about some things and she owned it and apologised” and sent flowers.

The Argus:

Other revelations including Meghan saying she knew the gender of her unborn baby and would reveal it to Winfrey later in the programme.

She also said she and Harry were married by the Archbishop of Canterbury three days before their formal wedding ceremony.

Meghan and Harry’s much-anticipated tell-all with chat show queen Winfrey finally aired on Sunday evening in the US, in the early hours of Monday UK time.

In the first few minutes of the controversial primetime spectacle, former actress Meghan said: “I went in naively because I didn’t grow up knowing much about the royal family.”

She added of her royal role “I didn’t fully understand what the job was”.

The interview is seen as a crisis point in the monarchy’s troubled times as the acrimonious fallout from Megxit worsened.
