SARAH Ferguson has defended Meghan Markle and Prince Harry saying “there should be no judgement of race”.
The Duchess of York, who is the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, gave a nod to the Sussexes’ bombshell interview with Oprah while speaking on Good Morning America.
During the chat, Harry and Meghan alleged a senior royal had made racist comments about their son Archie’s skin colour.
The Duchess of Sussex said there had been conversations with Prince Harry and a “family” member about their unborn son and what colour his skin would be – and “what that would mean or look like”.
But the 39-year-old declined to say who had started those conversations, saying it would be “damaging” for them.
Today, Fergie jumped to their defence, saying: “There should be no judgement on race, creed, color or any other denomination.
“I wish Harry and Meghan so much happiness.
“I know Diana would be so proud of her sons and their wives.”
RACE REMARKS
Back in March after Harry and Meghan’s claims, Prince William sensationally hit back at the paid.
He told the waiting press the royals are “very much not a racist family” as he and Kate arrived.
Almost two days after the interview aired, the Queen addressed the allegations with a public statement, which read: “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. Whilst 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.”
Sarah faced embarrassment back in 2018 when the Sussexes failed to invite her to the evening reception of their wedding – seven years after she was left off the 1,900-strong guest list to William and Kate’s nuptials.
She was speaking today to promote her novel – Her Heart for a Compass: A Novel.
It comes as Harry this week announced he’ll be publishing a memoir in 2022 – the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year.
It was later reported he and Meghan have in fact signed a £29million four-book mega-deal.
Meghan’s contribution will reportedly be a ‘wellness’ book on health living – while one of Harry’s books can only be released after the Queen’s death, it’s claimed.
Legal eagles for the couple initially said they wouldn’t be commenting on those claims – but later said they were “false and defamatory” and only one memoir is planned.
That book will be published next year. Harry vowed that it will examine the “highs and lows” of his extraordinary life.
Two publishers reportedly flew out from London to Harry’s home in California and took part in an ‘auction’ for the rights to his book.
And it’s claimed the royal conducted his own negotiations – with a source telling the Daily Mail: “Those involved were actually very shocked by his approach, which was to look at them coldly and state his demands: $25million.”
