Archie’s skin tone pla the royals

The royals were worried about the skin tone of Meghan and Prince Harry's first child.

In her interview with Oprah, Meghan said her son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was denied a royal title and royal protection.There were also "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he is born".

Meghan said: "They didn't want him to be a prince . . . which would be different from protocol, and he wasn't going to receive security.”

Neither she nor Harry had a say in the decision about Archie not being named a prince.

She added there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born”.

Oprah, whose jaw dropped at this revelation, asked, "Because they were concerned that if he were too brown, that that would be a problem? Are you saying that?"

Meghan said that would be a "pretty safe [assumption]".

When pressed, a tight-lipped Harry said: "That conversation I'm never going to share. It was awkward. I was a bit shocked. That was right at the beginning [of his and Meghan's courtship]: 'What will the kids look like?'"

The couple are expecting their second child, a girl.
