The British royal family finally broke the silence over the Prince Harry-Megan couple's allegations.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement on behalf of Queen Elizabeth on Tuesday (March 9), the news agency Reuters reported. In a statement, the Queen said the whole royal family was saddened to learn that Prince Harry and his wife Megan Merkel had been in trouble for the past few years.
The statement added that Archie, the son of the Harry-Megan couple, also took seriously allegations that the color of the skin could be black. But she said Archie will always be loved by the royal family.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement that the whole family was saddened to learn how difficult the last few years had been for Prince Harry and Megan Merkel.
The Prince Harry-Megan couple's interview is the first time the British royal family has been in such a crisis since the death of Harry's mother, Diana, in 1997 in a car crash. The family is widely criticized around the world for racism.
The statement added that Harry, Duke of Sussex and Megan, Duchess of Sussex, may have misunderstood racial discrimination.
Even then, the queen said that she would take it seriously and resolve it as a family affair.
Megan, the first mixed-race bride in the UK royal family, was featured in an exclusive interview with popular US presenter Oprah Winfrey on CBS TV in the United States last Sunday (March 7). In that interview, Harry and Megan spoke unpleasantly about the hundreds of years old British royal family. The special TV show titled ‘Oprah with Megan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special’ was also aired on ITV in the UK local time on Monday night.
In that interview, Megan complained that she had become a victim of Buckingham Palace. From guessing how black her son Archie's skin color could be, to how many times he went to lunch with friends, to the nascent Palace used to poke nose.
In the interview, Prince Harry said that the racist behavior of the tabloids had played a big role in his and Megan Merkel's departure from the United Kingdom. According to Harry, the tabloid media in the UK is narrow-minded. The tabloid media reported that it created a toxic atmosphere of fear and control.
Reuters quoted a source in the royal palace as saying that the Prince Harry-Megan couple's affair was seen as a family affair by the royal family and they wanted to resolve it domestically.
