In 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan sat down with Oprah to discuss their time as working royals and what it was like stepping down. Notably, Meghan discussed how there was “concerns and conversations about how dark” their son, Archie’s skin would be when he was born, and she talked about “being silenced” by the Royal Family. Harry was also vocal about fearing Meghan would end up like his mother, Princess Diana, if they stayed. The Palace issued a response to the interview on behalf of the Queen as well, saying, “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.”
