Buckingham Palace unlikely to be drawn into public fight with Harry, Meghan following interview

The Queen responded Tuesday to that tell-all interview her grandson and his wife did with Oprah. Buckingham Palace released a statement on behalf of Her Majesty. It is brief and to-the-point, with critics arguing it took too long and it cast doubt on the couples claims about racism.

The couple accused the Royal Family of failing to protect them from racist attacks in the British media, and alleged that someone within the family had asked about their child Archie’s potential skin colour before his birth. Harry and Markle also described their difficulties with leaving their royal duties behind in the high-profile interview.

The Royal Family said it was “saddened” by their allegations and found the claims about racism “concerning,” but also hinted at a difference in “recollection.”

“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning,” they said in the statement, which was issued on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II. “While some recollection may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.”

As Crystal Goomansingh reports, the palace is unlikely to be drawn into handling this drama in public.
