MEGHAN ACCUSES BRITISH ROYALS OF RACISM
MEGHAN, the wife of Prince Harry, accused Britain's Royal family of raising concerns about how dark their son's skin might be and pushing her to the brink of suicide.
She spoke in a tell-all television interview that would send shockwaves through the Monarchy.
The 39-year old, whose mother is black and father is white, said she had been naive before she married into royalty in 2018, but she ended up having suicidal thoughts and considering self-harm after pleading for help but getting none.
Meghan said her son Archie now aged one, had been denied the title of prince because there were concerns within the royal family "about how dark his skin might be when he's born.
"That was relayed to me from Harry, those were the conversations the family had with him" Meghan recounted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey aired on CBS late on Sunday.
MEGHAN declined to say who had aired such concerns, as did Harry. Winfrey later told CBS that Harry had said it was not Queen Elizabeth or her husband Philip.
Harry said his family had cut them off financially and his father Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, had left him down and refused to take his calls at one point.
Buckingham Palace was not expected to give him an immediate response, which aired in the early hours of yesterday morning in Britain.
The two hours Broadcast was the most anticipated Royal interview since Harry's late mother Princess Diana shared intimate details of her failed marriage to Charles in 1995, denying the hair's reputation and the family's standing in the eyes of the British Public.
Nearly three years since her star-studded wedding in Windsor Castle, Meghan described some un-identified members of the royal household as brutal, mendacious and guilty of racist remarks.
She also accused Kate, wife of her husband's elder brother Prince William, of making her cry before her wedding.
While the family came in for open criticism, neither Harry nor Meghan attacked the 94-year old queen directly.
Still, Meghan, said she had been silenced by "The Firm" which Elizabeth years-and that her pleas for help while in distress at racist reporting and her predicament had fallen on deaf ears.
"I just didn't want to be alive anymore. And that was very clear and real and constant thought. And I remember how he (Harry) just cradled me ," Meghan said wiping away tears.
