In the first-ever public comment after the royal split, told that her son Archie had been denied the title of prince because there were concerns within the royal family about how dark his skin might be.
“They didn’t want him to be a prince,” she said adding there had been “conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”
Meghan spoke about her sister-in-law Kate Middelton during the interview and addressed the reports that she made Kate cry over a disagreement over bridesmaids’ dresses leading up to her May 2018 wedding.
“The reverse happened,” Meghan said.
“And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something. But she owned it, and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing,” Meghan added.
