The Duchess of Sussex has accused the royal family of fostering an atmosphere of racial hostility so intense that she came close to suicide while pregnant with her first child.
In a series of stunning revelations during a two-hour, hotly-anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan claimed that members of the royal family had openly expressed concerns about how dark her son Archie’s skin would be and "what that would mean or look like."
Meghan said the conversation was had between Prince Harry and a member or members of his family and was relayed to her. She added she will not name who was involved because "it would be very damaging to them."
The Sunday Times said Queen Elizabeth would not watch the interview and reported the palace would respond only if individuals were attacked in the interview.
Both Meghan and Harry went out of their way to heap praise on the Queen and would not point fingers directly at individuals.
The interview was broadcast on CBS in the US on Sunday night and will be aired in the UK on ITV at 9pm on Monday and on ITV Hub.

Ofcom is investigating his comments after receiving 41,000 complaints. "Freedom of speech is a hill I'm happy to die on," Morgan said on social media.
