“The issues raised, particularly those of race, are troubling.” The British Royal Family - about the interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

The British royal family for the first time commented on the interview of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, which they gave to American TV presenter Oprah Winfrey. The Buckingham Palace statement is quoted by BBC News.

The entire family is saddened to learn how stressful the past few years have been for Harry and Meghan. The issues raised, especially racial ones, are troubling. While some of the memories may differ, they are taken very seriously and will be treated privately by the family.

The royal family also said in a statement that Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and their son Archie "will always be beloved members of the family."

The royal family gave an answer almost a day and a half after the interview, BBC News notes.

• On the night of March 8 Moscow time, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle appeared on television for the first time after they resigned their royal powers and left the UK in 2020, and talked for two hours with American TV presenter Oprah Winfrey.
• During the conversation, Harry and Meghan, in particular, said that a certain member of the royal family was worried about how dark-skinned the couple's son Archie would be. In addition, they said that the royal family did not stand up for Meghan when she was hounded by the British tabloids, and the refusal of royal duties quarreled Harry with his father, Prince Charles, and alienated him from his brother, Prince William.
