In 2021, Meghan Markle accused her in-laws of gossiping about Prince Archie's skin tone, but she never revealed who the culprit was

Meghan Markle alluded to her in-laws being racists in her 2021 tell-all interview.

“There are serious fan theories that this is a strategy so that Meghan is able to elaborate in her published book without the backlash of the big reveal, without the palace coming after her,” Kinsey Schofield said onTalk TV while discussing the American royal's rumored memoir.

Since Endgame's release, the Sussexes and the Windsors haven't addressed the accusations, but sources claim Meghan and Harry weren't happy about the revelation.

"It must have come from Meghan's camp directly," they noted. "That letter is under lock and key and no one from within the King’s circle would’ve briefed anyone about its contents."

During Meghan and Harry's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Duchess of Sussex shocked the talk show host when she alluded to Archie losing certain privileges due to his ethnic heritage.

"But I can give you an honest answer. In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time . . .  so we have in tandem the conversation of ‘He won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born," Meghan shared.

Archie wasn't born a prince, and the Duchess of Sussex was worried about how it would make her child feel while seeing his cousins navigate the monarchy with a different ranking.

"But the idea of our son not being safe, and also the idea of the first member of color in this family not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be," the actress noted.
