After the letters that King Charles III sent to his daughter-in-law, former American actress Meghan Markle, were leaked, it has been confirmed that it was the monarch who made a series of comments that could be considered “racist“, since he questioned the skin color of his grandson Archie, who will be four years old on May 6th, the same day of his official coronation.
On Friday, the British newspaper The Telegraph published an article detailing what King Charles III and Meghan Markle said to each other through some letters they sent to each other.
In it, the British royals expressed their differences and opinions according to an event that caused a lot of scandal since it was reported.

In 2021, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had an interview with Oprah Winfrey. There, the former American actress claimed that a member of the royal family was speculating about the possible skin tone that their son Archie was going to have.
And now, with the leak of these letters, it has been revealed that it was the King who would have made that questioning. However, he made it clear to his daughter-in-law that he had not done so in a “racist” way.
Even Meghan in the letter also tells him that she did not consider it racist. However, much of the public considers that these speculations can be labeled as racist, since speculating about the possible skin tone of the baby was a way to show “concern” about the genes of the future Prince.
Public opinion is divided, with some claiming that King Charles III has done nothing wrong. Others claim that Meghan Markle is just looking for fame and attention, while others detail that the British royals do have some racist touches.
