The Part Of Meghan Markle’s Interview That Made Oprah Furious

Meghan Markle sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a two-hour interview that aired on Sunday, March 7, 2021. About one third of the way through the interview, Meghan opened up to Winfrey about the decision that was made to not give her son, Archie, a royal title when he was born. Meghan explained that without the title, Archie would not be offered security, which was obviously a concern for her.

Meghan revealed that she was never told the reasons behind the decision to not make her son a prince, but she has some ideas of her own, based on the conversations that she claims were had while she was still pregnant. It was in discussing these conversations that Winfrey became visibly uncomfortable and angry. Winfrey asked Meghan why she thought the monarchy didn’t want to make Archie a prince. “Do you think it’s because of his race?” Winfrey asked, admitting that it was a “loaded question, but…”

Meghan took a deep breath before responding. “But I can give you an honest answer,” Meghan began. The very next sentence out of her mouth shocked Winfrey. Read on to find out what Meghan said to Winfrey that made her furious.

Meghan Markle revealed there were concerns over Archie's skin color

Meghan Markle told Oprah Winfrey, “In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time … so we had in tandem the conversation of ‘he won’t be given security,’ ‘he’s not going to be given a title,’ and, also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.” Just then, the camera panned to show Winfrey’s face, as she sat speechless for a few seconds before saying, “What?” Meghan went to speak again, but Winfrey interrupted, clearly unhappy with the information that she just found out. 

“Who is having that conversation with you?” Winfrey asked. Meghan sat nodding as Winfrey asked again, “What?” Winfrey had to take a minute to repeat what she had just been told. She then prodded, carefully, “and you’re not going to tell me who had the conversation?” Meghan, who appeared to be getting emotional, responded, “I think that would be very damaging to them.” 

Meghan went on to explain that those were conversation that “family” had with Prince Harry, that he relayed to her. At that point, Winfrey responded, “Whoa.” She then asked Meghan if there was a concern that if the baby was “too brown” that that would be “a problem.” Meghan shared that she wasn’t able to “follow up” on these conversations, but told Winfrey that “if that’s the assumption” she was making, that “feels like a pretty safe one.”
