Oprah has since clarified on behalf of the couple that the discussions about Archie's skin colour were not had by Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip, Prince Harry's grandparents. "The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," said the statement issued on behalf of the Queen. Earlier on Tuesday (March 9), Meghan's estranged father, Thomas Markle, described the question about his grandson's skin colour as "dumb." He told British broadcaster ITV that he "doesn't think" the British royal family or British people are racist. Prince Harry's father, Prince Charles, meanwhile made an appearance at a vaccine clinic in north-west London on Tuesday.
