BUCKINGHAM Palace is worried that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could name and shame the royal who allegedly commented on the colour of Archie’s skin, according to reports.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the bombshell claim that a member of the family was “concerned” about “how dark” his skin would be when he was born.

Prince Charles is said to be “in despair” over Harry and Meghan’s jaw-dropping interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Harry would not reveal the person’s identity during the interview but Oprah later said he told her it is not the Queen or Prince Philip.
The Palace is today under intense pressure to respond to the claims of racism after the monarchy was left “reeling” by the tell-all chat.
According to the Evening Standard, sources said there is now a “lack of trust” between the family and the Sussexes.
And if the Palace denies the allegation, they fear Harry and Meghan could name the member of the family, the source added.
A senior source told the Standard: “A denial could lead to the Sussexes breaking their vow and naming the member of the royal family who discussed their son’s skin colour.
“There is a lack of trust.”
It comes as…
- Prince Charles ‘nervously chuckles’ when asked about Harry and Meghan
- Prince Harry hit the ‘nuclear button’ on his family in the interview, insiders claimed
- Thomas Markle hung up on ‘snotty’ Prince Harry
- Meghan Markle is reported to have slammed the door in Kate Middleton’s face when the duchess tried to apologise over an incident over flower girl dresses
- ITV Hub crashed as the interview was broadcast on the UK screens
- Oprah revealed Prince Harry insisted the Queen and Prince Philip were not the Royals who expressed concerns about Archie’s skin colour
- A new photograph of the couple with Archie was released
- Thomas Markle will be interviewed on GMB
- Harry and Meghan held a private ‘exchange of vows’ before their wedding

The source added that the Palace cannot deny the unsubstantiated claims until it knew exactly what was said and the context of the conversation.
They said: “It could lead to the Sussexes naming names and it blowing up again.”
“This incendiary interview has caused pain and division. Trust is an issue.
“For Harry to say he feels ‘let down’ seems a little rich when you consider what he has done.
“The Duke of Sussex continues to say he respects his grandmother, but he has ridden roughshod over the institution she represents.”
It comes as Prince Charles appeared to nervously chuckle when a reporter asked him about the explosive Oprah interview at an official engagement today.
The Prince of Wales put on a brave face as he visited an NHS vaccine pop-up clinic at Jesus House church in Brent Cross, London – the first time he has been seen since the tell-all chat.
He was greeted warmly at the clinic and appeared in good spirits as he spoke with those there to get the jab.
But when asked by a reporter what he thought of his son’s interview, the Prince of Wales did not respond.
The reporter asked: “Sir what did you think of the interview?”
Charles, who wore a face mask for the occasion, gave a nervous chuckle and carried on walking.
During the tell-all chat, Harry claimed his father stopped taking his calls after Megxit and was financially cut off by the Royal Family last year.
The Duke of Sussex also said there was a “lot of hurt” between him and his dad – but insisted he had not “blindsided” the Queen when announcing he and Meghan were stepping back as senior working royals.
Buckingham Palace is yet to officially respond to the claims.
