Updated | By Scenic Drive With Rian
Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, told Oprah Winfrey that there was a royal family member that questioned the skin tone of her baby. It is reported that that royal was Prince Charles, heir to the throne.
In March, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry sat down with media mogul Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all interview.
The royal couple opened up about racism within the royal family and sent shock waves throughout the world.

Markle revealed that “concerns and conversations about how dark his (Archie's) skin might be when he’s born” were brought up to her husband ahead of her son’s birth. Winfrey’s shocked reaction: "What?"
“You’re not going to tell me who had that conversation?" Winfrey asked Meghan.
“I think that would be very damaging to them,” Markle continued.

In the book, 'Brothers And Wives: Inside The Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan', author Christopher Andersen said that Prince Charles asked what the "complexion" of the child would be.
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the wife of Prince Charles was apparently "somewhat taken aback" and replied: "Well, absolutely gorgeous, I'm certain," Page Six said.
A spokesperson for the prince has since slammed the book by author Andersen saying: "This is fiction and not worth further comment."
