The monarch expressed her “concern” over allegations of
racism and her sadness on learning exactly how challenging the couple had found
life as working royals, though she said some recollections of events differed.
Buckingham Palace finally broke its silence on Tuesday
evening over the claims made by Meghan and Harry in an interview with Oprah
Winfrey. Meghan revealed she was left feeling suicidal, while the couple said a
member of the royal household had asked about about how dark their unborn son’s
skin would be.
After growing pressure to respond, a short statement issued
on behalf of the Queen 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. While 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.” Guardian
