The Duchess of Sussex and Charles exchanged letters following the shocking claim

Meghan Markle contacted Charles in the wake of her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey but the Duchess remains unhappy with the response of the Royal Family, a source has claimed.

During the television interview in 2021, Meghan claimed that a member of the monarchy had speculated about the colour of her unborn Archie's skin.


In a letter to Charles, Meghan expressed her concerns about unconscious bias in the Royal family, The Telegraph claims.

A source has said that Meghan still feels she has not received a satisfactory response to the concerns she raised to the Royal Family.

Meghan's letter to Charles was sent in reply to one he had sent her, according to the Telegraph.

King Charles is understood to be the only senior member of the Royal Family to make contact with the Duchess of Sussex after her interview with Oprah.

Meghan said during her interview with Oprah Winfrey that there had been "concerns and conversations about how dark his [Archie’s] skin might be when he’s born".

The letters identify the member of the Royal Family who made the comment.

Charles and Meghan both acknowledged that the remark was not made with malice, according to a source.

The Duchess of Sussex is believed to have thanked the King for his words.

Meghan's letter is said to suggest that she never intended to accuse the individual involved of being a racist, but was raising concerns about unconscious bias.

Whilst Charles was said to be disappointed that Harry and Meghan made such a high-profile and damaging allegation, he also expressed sadness at the divide between the two sides of the family, according to a source.
