it was reported that she had expressed her concerns about the royal familyās āunconscious biasā in a letter to the king,Ā the TelegraphĀ reported on April 21.
āYes, there is correspondence between the Duchess of Sussex and the King,āĀ a source confirmed toĀ Page Six .

āBut she has moved on, this was two years ago, it has nothing to do with her decision not to attend the coronation,ā the source stressed.
However, the article is sure to cause discomfort and great embarrassment for the royal family as Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, prepare to be crowned in front of a global audience.
According to the source, the letter was sent after an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, in which Meghan Markle, 41, alleged that a member of the royal family had speculated about the skin color of her unborn son.

The letter identifies the senior royal who allegedly made the comments. At the time of the interview, palace insiders said it was not Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Phillip.
In fact, Christopher Andersenās bookĀ Brothers And Wives: Inside The Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and MeghanĀ specifically named Charles as the one who questioned Archieās skin color, but this was never proven.
The TelegraphĀ reported that both Charles and Markle āacknowledged that the individualās comments were not maliciousā. However, the article added: āThe palace is also aware of the Duchess of Sussexās disappointment that the email invitation to the coronation made no mention of their children or their participation. The omission only added to the sense that Prince Harryās family played second fiddle to Prince Williamās.
In the Oprah interview, Markle alleged that āa number of conversationsā took place between the unnamed royal family member and Prince Harry about what their unborn son would look like.
Markle said there were concerns about baby Archieās skin colour but the former actress refused to name the people involved, saying: āI think that would be very damaging to them.ā
When asked about the matter, her husband, Prince Harry, declined to elaborate but said it was a one-off conversation. āI was a bit shocked,ā he admitted.
King Charles will be crowned on May 6.
King Charles was surprised by the claims, while Harryās brother Prince William was critical: āWe are not a racist family.ā
In 2021, the author ofĀ Finding FreedomĀ accused the Duke of Sussex of calling the royal family racist on TV, saying it was ādamagingā.
While promoting his memoirĀ SpareĀ , Prince Harry, 38, said he had never accused the royal family of racism but said they were guilty of āunconscious biasā.
In addition,Ā the TelegraphĀ also reported that Meghan Markle was still worried about living behind the palace walls, making her feel suicidal.
Meghan Markleās spokesperson toldĀ Page SixĀ : āThe Duchess of Sussex is talking about her life now, not thinking about the letter from two years ago. Any suggestion otherwise is false and ridiculous. We urge the media and royal reporters to stop the ātiring circusā they are creating.ā
