Meghan, the wife of Prince Harry, said the British royal family refused to make her son Archie a prince partly due to conversations about how dark his skin might be.

“They didn’t want him to be a prince or princess, not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol, and that he wasn’t going to receive security,” Meghan said in an interview aired on CBS late on Sunday.

“In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of, you won’t be given security, not gonna be given a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”Reporting by Michael Holden and Guy Faulconbridge; Editing by Mike Collett-White

BS!!

What a world?

elenastahov Oh God look at the regulations of title inheritance. It doesn't work like that.

Please stop maiing articles about them. Please. You as a respected news company are risk MILLIONS of followers over some silly clickbait. Let ‘the new’ person running that place know!!! Stop making Reuters into another silly ‘clickbait’ news firm.

Who gives a toss about Meghan and Harry

Monarchs grandchildren can only be princes, Archie a gt grandchild& not in direct lineof succession. Charles,Will&3others ahead of H&A. Element of he said/she said about all this. The truth has been lost to self righteousness and the need to be the sole occupant of the spotlight

Black? That lil boy it's whiter than me lol

Rich pompous a$$holes vs Racist Rich Pompous a$$holes.

What? Green is out? Purple would be a nice change. His dad has spots. So what’s the problem. I’ve got kids of every shade. Wouldn’t trade a one! Whatever color they are is of no concern.

He looks pretty White to me of course he will be a Prince or maybe Not after that interview the Royal Family will now sever all tyes with Harry to the point that he may no longer be a Prince himself. He has now made his own bed and he will have to sleep in it . Sad .

Meghan did not say that ! meghanharryoprah Duchess of Sussex

Without a title he is a human being period.

No he was never fonnabe a prince anyway so what the fuck is the point here? Point is they made a quick payday on this interview with madam

🌻

LOOOOL! She didn’t say that, if you need clicks just say that 🥴

எனக்கு ஒரு உண்மை தெரிஞ்சாகணும்....

The Almighty God that the British Royals worship.. Has made all equal..

Didn’t they walk away from all the royalty in the first place?

She must be telling the truth. Even the Royal Butler is a cruel racist who mocks natives using hands to partake of their food.

That isn’t what was said

So ? They colonized the world once.

Absolutely rooobishh behaviour by the royals if this is true. I think in reality racism does exist everywhere. They just say they aren’t racist but in essence they all are. US started “Black lives matter” but they still call it “The White House”. Why?

White people things

I saw that heartwarming and heart breaking interview last night. This part, the part about her mental emotions, his relationship with his dad, really touched my soul. Like they say, you never know what goes on behind closed doors except for the people who live there.

I don't believe the UK refused to make Harry's son a Prince. There is more to this story.

This circus is so bad and this claim is so historically untrue... title are not randomly assigned... complete bitching

lol

This is a road of shit! Sympathy seeking bitch. MeghanAndHarry MeghanMarkle Meghan 9News 7NEWS SkyNewsAust 9NewsAUS QandA 4Corners 9n skynews

Because he looks like Chris rock 😂😂😂

Review your report headline. I didn’t hear the statement in your headline during the interview.

They have problem with color of their family member but want to discuss farmers protest in India. No color problem?

In this day and age, the fact that we talk about royal lineages and god given rights of entitlements - are proof enough that we have a long way to go before we establish equality, equity, and justice in our societies. Racism is abhorrent - but debate about royal titles is more!😡

Abolish the Royal Family. That is all.

It wasn’t about the title! She made that clear. (And you know that!) It’s about protection for her precious child.

Headline misleading. She said 'they'-- not who. So which UK royal was it Reuters?

That little boy is not a prince, and he should be extremely proud of it.

I don’t think she said that! You need to correct this title

It could also be that there's some truth to the speculation that Harry is a body guards son, and not a royal himself at all. Which is why the only money he has is from his mother and none from the queen.

Fucked up teeth are ok

The crown has almost 2000 years of history and she knew what she would find. These two are not worthy to keep the royal line! If I were the queen, I would take away all the rights of these traitors and tear the birth certificate of this prince who turned into a frog! Idiots! Fuck

She has exposed herself

This her version of payback..if she doesn't get her way..she is willing to crusify the British Monarch in the media using any means she has to help her..Oprah you were played..Pathetic 🙁

This will set the hive a buzz.

It’s BS anyway. Megan is half black so Archie is only 1/4 non-white and doesn’t even look anything but white

Princess Ann has children Her children have no titles, they are not prince or princess Megan married Mr Hazbeen & now she's got buyers remorse. Not complicated.

Fakenews. Facts do matter.

And we're still in 21st century 10DowningStreet!!!

Sad News of Royal Palace Racism Treatment towards their Daughter-in-law!!!

But, but, but, he's white.......ish.

I don't know why the royal family would worry about the baby's skin colour. Surely they'd want to know if Meghan and Harry's son would have an IQ as low as the rest of the family.

They refused because of meghan, they just hate coz she's black, that kid is not even black coz they haven't met me yet, I guess they could have fed me to the dogs if I were in little archie's position.

These two really need to grow up. There children will be traumatized and targeted because of this interview their entire lives and they will be responsible for their pain. Very self-centered and immature.

It makes you wonder if she married for the royal title not for the love of Harry?

Actually, Harry’s sons automatically become Prince/Princess when ancharles becomes King. That has been the law since 1917

Lol! Didn't she want a quiet life? What a load of BS!!!!

Dumbness , Archie can't be given title of Prince because of royal protocol , yes security is other matter

We are least bothered of who the fish British Kings & Queens are... They were no good to Humanity & won't be any good in future... They have stolen many things from India... Which I think they should return back now... Rest they can play the King & Queen Game... ☺️☺️☺️☺️

This decision by the royals is not acceptable ... How can colour be the reason ?

What a surprise..... Now we can trace Americas racist roots directly to Britain. BTW, what kind of country still has royals in the 21st century?

Hut even here in Kenya with all our blackness we can still tell who is blacker than the other and its no big deal...well sometimes it is a big deal we are just not royals

He cant be a prince cause he is not in a direct line to the ruling monarch. There are rules within the firm and Charles has made the circle even smaller due to budget. Beatrice and Eugene kids will also not get given the prince title.

He is not an heir to the throne...therefore not a prince

Ď2

I'm afraid she is a lost cause, she will spend her whole life obsessing over the colour of her skin and will forever more be a victim, a highly privileged and highly paid one of course.

I hear it’s like that in Africa. Something to do with bloodline...not sure

That sounds ridiculous. They gave title to her but wouldn’t give it to grandchild. I don’t believe a word she says.

Not quite true. Because the Court welcomed Archie and baptized Archie as Prince Archie

This is not a fare

We Indians knew that much before

🇬🇧 is falling, God will never forgive them for the deaths they caused in Africa especially Nigeria. London bridge will fall soon

Kid looks pretty white. Smells like victimhood again as usual

C’mon, if you didn’t think this chick was up to something Day 1, I feel sorry for you.

The Princess Royal did not want all the titles for her children she is a modern woman.

Most thankless person.

BS !!He can only become a prince when William becomes king. Its called royal protocol and was established more than 100 years ago.

I hope that statement about the Windsors is false.

Well its the British who have started first discrimination and then conversion. If we rewind the world...it would be a better place.

SeanABennett Nothing to do with skin tone. You can't be a prince so far down in the line according to the normal line of titles. That was known long before. Plus Meghan father is white she identified as half white. Not everything is racism. Yes this coming from a black person.

Just lying to get sympathy from people who do not know how titles are granted.

RealHauleGluck The upcoming whitepanther in Queens land😃😃

Utter bollocks

& that hutiya Zakaria sermons us on intolerance..FareedZakaria stupid moron.& ShekharGupta author of the coup which I imagined.& for which karma is itching to get back to me..it will find me..I know.& then my backside will be black & blue..becoz I know Gen_VKSingh kicks hard

you can’t be a prince as the children in second in line to the throne once the first in line has children. Ie. None of Harry’s children can be princes or princesses.

Maybe Meghan should show her respect and concern to her grandma-inlaw & grandpa-inlaw are more important.

It was not really tell it all then. Or is there more to come? Is it just about the 'firm' or will it be about her family too?

Absolute nonsense by Meg and Oprah. This is easily researchable. Either she is very ignorant or wasn't paying attention. I am offended by Oprah CBS & others exploiting the ignorance of their fans to pursue a particular narrative.

Such retarded race! Still fighting for prince and royal BS...Lol

Wow, she is really playing the race card fully aware that the royal family is on the wrong side of the history and in general do not comment of these topics. She is really pushing the envelope

Get plastic surgery Elizabeth 1st,2nd, 3rd,______,9th,10th whatever. There is no shortage of money, because when will UK royals spend the stolen Kohinoor diamond in India, otherwise, Return the wealth of India with dignity.

He's not a prince lol and why they forgot to tell us this baby is duke of, count of .... The list of his properties is longer than my arm. Given by... Guess.

UK royals refused to make me prince due to skin colour and nationality concerns ....Bloody racists

what a big surprise not like they made african their slaves and occupied us Indians land for more than 200 years stole our food and caused a famine that killed millions stole artifacts and STILL refusing to return them

The baby is whiter than a snowman. Fuck this bitch and her tryna be a victim

😂😂

What shade of racism is that please?

It's a real battle to try to rein in those that marry into the royal family. There must be such a mismatch of expectations. A great variance to the fairy tale.

piersmorgan

Britishers are key criminal in enslaving human being in modern era

They crossed the line and she reacted...😂😁

Skin Colour already toh dudh jitna gora hai..

Wah, she got married to him coz her son will be a Prince? Thank God, they chucked her out!!

Evil

Yeah...about that, he’s not in line to become a prince currently. That’s just a fact...

Absolute rubbish!

It's what it is!

“ Royal issues “ are not limited to what they have practiced for centuries. RoyalFamily can not accept a half Royal Heir to lead their kingdom. Bloodline is to be protected and the family picture can not have colourful skin in the frame.

North America has an opportunity to begin our own Royal Dynasty and who better than King Harry & Queen Megan of North America. A king and Queen to represent all races. Not just stuffy old English snobs and there strong arm tabloids. Please retweet

Skipper5806 Bullshit.

What a surprise. What made yall think they see black people as humans. Yall forgot how they became royals like yall forgot the truth about the Bible

Is this accusation or there is Statement from Royal family ?

The Royal Empire, they are wrong. Our Jesus Christ created this kid and included his skin and born by his mother. The paradise belongs to the kids. Please kindly treat this royal prince as well as Our Jesus Christ love us on this Earth. We trust in our Jesus Christ forever.

I don't think that this was what Megan said at all. I was watching it and did not heard that Megan said that!

Lakin west India ko gyan banta hai discrimination le ke...

CollinceBey This is racism

No need to shock nor doubt.

It’s really time to abolish the monarchy!

Yep he’s ginger.

So, basically people are finding out now, the British are racists. Meanwhile Indians who tolerated that for ages.

old, obsolete and outdated racist institution have no power anymore in the new AGE and new ERA

she is an excellent victim

Well well well, stop preaching the world. Thing is they were they are and they will always be racist

The queen never made Indians and Africans feel like that.

Well that's utter nonesense.

White suprrmacist

Who gives a shit about being a Prince to an imperialist criminal empire that committed the greatest injustice of mass murder, rape, enslavement, torture, mutilation of millions of African girls, boys, men and woman. history

Just because she is black doesn’t mean she is telling the truth.

That's why they Fcuk royal family.

Could have used her podium to advance a lot of good, but due to her borderline personality disorder she is the victim (NOT), assumes racial overtones (NOT) royal protocols of 100s of years, and makes it all about her .... poor, poor drama queen Meghan. You pissed away opportunity

Shortcut to make money - play victim Card.

It s really not a good exemple of what the world is today and for the young generation ,it s time to move on !

This woman has everything any woman can dream of, yet runs away from Royal family, who put her in this privileged place, and even accuses them of racism? She is rolling in money, power and attention and is a victim? How can she be priviliged and disadvantaged at he same time?!

UK has no human right, RACISM!

I thought they “GAVE UP” their titles. Fuck them.

Who invented the snob in the world? Great Britain.

She didnt actually say that. And as an example not all of Harry's cousins have titles either (Peter, Zara, James, Louise.) His son will automatically inherit his Dukedom and will become Duke of Sussex. Duke is higher than Prince.

Now race matters to Megan Markle when Prince Harry's family want to cut off the resources.

Or As everyone else calls it, racism.

Very sad for Harry to be alienated from his family.

how wrong she is, Princess Anne's children do not have any titles is Megan aware of thatand a lot of the cousins do not have titles

القلب اعمى لايرى المحب😟

As far as I'm concerned if anybody wants to say Megan is lying she's being a manipulator or whatever kind of nonsense you need to go on YouTube and listen to a Princess Diana interview. Princess Diana had a husband cheating on her and the royal family still treated her like crap

Pissed_Woman Completely worth the watch. It revealed that just like his mother the tension worsened when they announced that they were pregnant. Just like Diana they did not want to taint the royal blood. They did not provide them any support. Just like his mother.

I call Bullshit . It probably has to do with the line of succession.

Meanwhile...

You're really misquoting here. Stretching her words. , do better.

Oh come now!

Found this great answer to rebut this Meghan’s bullshit

I’mma gonna go ahead and call BS! To the Tower with them!

I looks like the media is using money to manipulate them in order to smear the royal family They want to destroy everything traditional, respectful, patriotic, good and godly, especially whites, like they destroyed Trump She is an evil woman

He's a prince in the eyes of God so do not bother yourself my sister

Can imagine having Othello in Buckingham Palace 🤣🤣

If any family in the world needs a little shot of diversity in their gene pool it's the British royals.

racism at it's maximum best😠

Rubbish ......Meghan playing the victim .....I am embarrassed for Harry what a joke he has become !

UK monarchy should be abolished

😥, it s Harry kid'

Cheetahplains This women is a Princess Race Baiter...

I wish more people are known to this.

This is bullshit, bullshit and a huge load of bullshit

Um...

She did not say that, not the way your title says. Reuters, we expect more from you. You're not a tabloid magazine last time I checked.

Is it because he's ginger?

Attention seeker

That’s bullshit

But she voluntarily gave up her and her husband’s title🤮 Then you two are not prince and princess. How come you son is a prince?

Seriously? I don't understand the American concept of 'race'. Skin color? She is more white than black. If she did not self identify as such, nobody would bat an eye. And black or white... does not matter.

So, what th ematter with that, they like whte people. Is that racist Is a matter of taste..

BS Meghan.

This is a very misleading headline! She never said that!! She said she did not know the reason! The character assassination continues! How sad!!!

You’ve upset the rewrites of history. Next you’ll be blaming Europe for rewriting land jurisdiction, colonialism and dividing continents.

Burn it down

So, this is her objective ..

Who cares?

👀

We love Kate, the royal blood she is!

Oh good grief! How ridiculous!!! She is desperate for attention !

That’s not what she said...

ThereGoesTheMonarchy

OMG! Seriously? I don’t think so..

Reuters, you can (and so should) do better than this (mid-weight) misleading headline. Plenty of character limit lo left to do a proper job. IIRC, M left the audience to connect obvious evidence dots and then reach its own conclusion. So ... not clicking through.🤨

Great grandchildren of the Queen not directly in line for the throne don’t get these titles. Archie had the title of Earl of Dumbarton, but they chose not to use it & went with Master instead. She’s playing to the ignorance of the American audience that doesn’t know the workings

They racist 4 sho

And what is Harry’s own version on that issue? Harry must’ve known all the royal rules before he married an outsider / a foreigner .

I’m not surprised. Racism and royalty follow the same logic... that certain bloodlines are privileged/superior.

I wonder how quick LewisHamilton et al can give that knighthood back? 🤔 NoRoomforRacism BLM GiveItBack

The Monach will learn the hard way that color has nothing to do with humanity, it will break from within

Lol 😂

The brits are the inventors of racism. They wrote the manuscript of “Effective Enslavement”. Their royalty has been the Chairperson of Racism for centuries.

Play that RaceCard!

This is absurd. Subject for the Spit Image show.

racist bomboclat

Give me a break! Disaster ever since she walked into the castle. Will burn 🔥 it to the ground and then walk away. Only one I feel for Harry. Alienated him from his family coz she’s an attention seeking Control freak.

God forbid England have royals that are English

It was not the color of your skin, but the content of your character.

We will grant title of Prince by decree. Not within House of Windsor. House of Stuart will grant him title Prince.

SussexPrincess That's not what she said.

SussexPrincess you cannot even quote what she said properly !! how pathetic is that ?

Here’s what a supremely talented USA-born entertainer and royal looks like:

What about conversation about how dark he's going to be ? Please give me a break

Careful... they don’t like when the truth comes out-

Bullshit!!! Weren't they the ones that wanted to give up their titles, move out of the country and live more 'normal' lives?

👀🧐🤔

bull shit

.This is utter rubbish. Meghan is lying.

The real reason is the Queen still think that black are slaves and Meghan is black so she can't enter the castle.

Royal family should ban Meghan, her husband and children from UK. Let her find a country more 'tolerant' with her skin color (white, by the way). North korea is very tolerant, should try.

He looks mighty white to me

the royal family is the nastiest welfare family in the world

Great grandchildren don't become Princes. Those are the rules. It's not even hidden somewhere in the fine print. It's the way it's always been.

You don't have to worry megh! We black, mixed, none racist caucasian we love and support you and harry! Fuck the queen, fck the commonwealth 🖕🏽 RIP diana 🥰

That is not how the a monarchy works.

What equality is ALL bullshit so please stop preaching human rights and equality for all you are e HYPOCRITE 🤭👎😭🤣🤭👎👎👎 Have you guys not seen a black Prince before

Sometime I hear they left UK and royals Now this story, she want her baby as prince what point I am missing here Sometime people have too much many too get things straight

RedHead013013 KC Royals UK royals. Their son would have more fun playing MLB anyways.

Meghan is lying, as usual. Real reason is George V, in 1917, issued Letters patent limiting the title of Prince. Google it.

Harry’s afraid of her

Someone is playing the victim card, a true snowflake😅😅😅

Stupidity is colorblind

Yeah, right. What would MM know about protocol?

You have to laugh at this woman.

He will grow up knowing that his parents love him.

When they are the ones not fully baked😂😂 literally half baked

😢😢😢😢

Wow 😳

Oh please. She's psycho.

Nope! She didn't sat that...

Little Archie looks just like his daddy . Suoper cutie!

Or because he isn’t entitled to that title as a great grandchild who isn’t directly in line for the throne.

Don't know what they expected

She is 100% right by saying this, and who ever disagree his either a liar or an idiot

What equality is ALL bullshit so stop preaching human rights and equality for all its down right hypocrite🤭👎😭🤣🤭👎👎👎

What a pity, Very Sad 😨

You mean they’re racist

I’m confused why there are still Countries of Color part of the UK Commonwealth.

Even if she did say that, Reuters, that baby looks pretty damn white to me

She really is a good actress!

sparkle_sussex Cette famille raciste est allée jouer la comédie hier après-midi, en soi-disant rendant hommage à la diversité du Commonwealth, alors qu'ils n'acceptent pas un bébé innocent parce que sa maman est biraciale Ils font vomir 🤮🤮🤮

when are people finally gonna abolish the monarchy

RT : Meghan says UK royals refused to make her son a prince due to skin colour concerns

No, she's confused because Harry dressed up as a Nazi

He's white.

So, I guess the Royal Family was not paying attention during genetics class, as in the human species originated. in the part of the Spaceship we now call Africa? Just wondering what they were doing in genetics class, that is all.

Just remember, the British started The enslavement of Africans and the transatlantic Slave trade.

The royal family were downsizing before this.

That’s not what she said. Rewind and watch it again.

Prince Charles doesn’t have enough empathy to help his son who lost his mother because of Charles’ inaction! Prince Charles is a monster. Poor Harry! He lost his mother and his father is the devil

🙄 I seriously do not understand this woman, do u want inn or out¿

This is a lie.

Oh dear 🍇

You don't even have to read to know whats is in all news related Meghan. Pretty simple...Race! Victimhood! Repeat!

Too pasty white?

That is not what the quote in this article actually says.

That’s horrible!! That lil boy is a PRINCE..

she didn´t say that...

No surprise..... Charles and William are.....

That’s not what she said. It’s the natural inference, but she didn’t say it.

My bet's on Prince Philip.

The love is blind, deafen and mute.

Pathetic & Sad, but not surprised.

Lies

Anyonoe surprised? This from the the family covering for Prince Andrew...

There are two sides to all stories. We are getting only one side. But if true. Shame

That's not...

Dat baby whiter than me

What a joke. Such a whining annoying interview. Paaaahlease.

Yawn their son is 1/8th black ffs.

She didn't say it like that! Get the quote right. You're taking what she said out of context!!!

Except... she DIDN’T say that.

brits are truly terrible

No surprise

Not pasty enough.

Did she believe it would be any different?

They fixed it PhilyRedd

Wow not exactly what she said... retract this headline

And we’re seriously believing that then?

clickbait. Dont fall for it.

Now Buckingham ... your turn. SPEAK! Come tell the world that Meghan & Harry are liars. Come, and tell us you were always right! Come, we beg you, tell us that you’ve been right ... always. Come, get your paid Spin-Doctors to tell us the contrary! Come. Our ears aching to hear.
