William and Kate's Stand
Prince William and Princess Kate reportedly urged for a more forceful statement to counter Meghan Markle's allegations of racism within the Royal Family, according to a royal expert. This decision came after Meghan and Prince Harry made shocking claims during an interview with Oprah Winfrey three years ago.
Meghan and Harry's Allegations
The Sussexes revealed that there were discussions within the Royal Family regarding the skin color of their son, Archie, before his birth, leading to accusations of racism. The ensuing backlash labeled the Firm as 'racist', prompting a response to defend their reputation.
Kate's Influence
It was disclosed that Kate played a key role in strengthening the statement, introducing the powerful phrase 'recollections may vary'. Prince William also publicly refuted the racism allegations, emphasizing that they are 'very much not a racist family' and expressing a loss of trust in Harry and Meghan.
Continued Strain
Following their departure from royal duties and relocation to the US, Harry and Meghan have not brought Archie back to visit his UK-based family. Concerns about security have been cited as the reason behind keeping the children away from the UK, with claims that they would not be safe.
Impact on the Children
As the Sussexes' children miss out on traditional royal experiences and time with their UK-based relatives, concerns have been raised about the impact on their upbringing. The absence of summers at Balmoral and interactions with royal cousins have been highlighted as significant losses for Harry and Meghan's children.
