There was communication, as a source revealed to Page Six: “Yes, there were letters back and forth from the Duchess of Sussex to the king.” The insider emphasized that the incident had nothing to do with the woman’s choice to skip the coronation since “she’s moved on, this was two years ago.”
But given that Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla are getting ready to be crowned in front of a large international audience, the news is certain to be very humiliating for the royal family.
The letters, according to the source, were delivered after Markle, 41, claimed that a member of the Royal family had made assumptions about the skin tone of her newborn baby in an appearance with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
According to Page Six, the letters include the name of the senior royal who is accused of making the remark. Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth II were not present at the time of the interview, according to palace sources.
The claim that Charles was the one who questioned Archie’s skin tone was made in the book “Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan” by Christopher Andersen, although this claim has never been substantiated.
Charles and Markle, according to a statement to The Telegraph, “acknowledged that the individual’s remark was not made with malice.” The Palace is also aware of the Sussexes’ unhappiness that the first email conversation concerning the Coronation failed to include their kids and their prospective participation, the article said.
Their perception that their family comes in second place to the Waleses was further strengthened by the exclusion. In the Oprah interview, Markle said that the unknown royal family member and the Duke had “several conversations” over the appearance of their unborn child.
The former actress claimed it was “safe” to infer there were issues with his skin tone, but she chose not to identify the party because “I think that would be very damaging to them.”
When questioned about the situation, her husband, Prince Harry, opted not to elaborate and said that just one discussion had occurred. “It felt strange. I was a little taken aback, he acknowledged.
Charles was reportedly taken aback by the allegations, while Prince William, Harry’s brother, sneered, “We are very much not a racist family.” The authors of “Finding Freedom” said that in 2021 the Sussexes considered identifying the allegedly racist royal on television but decided against it because they felt it would be too harmful.
Harry, 38, said he never accused the royal family of racism when promoting his book “Spare,” but claimed they are guilty of “unconscious bias.”
The Telegraph also said that Markle still believes issues she faced while living inside palace walls – issues that made her feel suicidal — have not been addressed.
“The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago,” a spokesman for Markle told Page Six Saturday.
Any insinuation to the contrary is untrue and plainly absurd. We admonish tabloid media and other royal reporters to put an end to the tiresome circus they are generating on their own.
