Teuila Blakely says there is a chance the discussions around Archie's skin colour, allegedly brought up by a member of the royal family, might not be "damning". The mixed-race actress says her family has had similar conversations and, depending on context, these may or may not be fuelled by racism. During her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said that a member of the royal family raised concerns with Prince Harry about how "dark" Archie's skin colour would be, around the time she was pregnant. Both Meghan and Harry refused to name who was the royal who made the comment and hinted that it stemmed from racism. Buckingham Palace has released a statement, following the interview, saying they take the allegations seriously and will be investigating.
