"We are very much not a racist family" - Watch as Prince William hits back
Updated | By Scenic Drive With Rian
Prince William has spoken about the race claims made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Earlier in February, news broke that the royal couple would sit down with Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all interview. Winfrey revealed that nothing was off-limits and it was to be the biggest interview ever.
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, and her husband, Prince Harry, sat down with Winfrey for a tell-all interview about racism within the royal family, Archie not receiving a royal title, struggling with mental health, Prince Charles cutting ties with his youngest son, and Prince Harry using the money his mother, Princess Diana, left him.

In the tell-all interview with Winfrey, Meghan and Harry openly spoke about being "silenced" and made a series of shocking claims.
Meghan 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. Watch the moment here.
