Buckingham Palace has finally broken its silence on the discrimination allegations against it by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, saying the royal family is distressed to learn of the challenges the duo faced.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had recently opened up on several issues relating to the royal family, including allegations of racism, in a no-holds-barred interview with Oprah Winfrey, the popular media mogul.
According to AP, the UK palace issued a statement on Tuesday saying that the issues raised would be addressed “privately”.
The royal family also said that Meghan and Harry’s revelations, most especially that of race, are “concerning” and will be taken seriously.
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning,” read the statement issued on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II.
“While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.’’
It further stated that “Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much-loved family members.”
The family’s statement is the first by the palace following Harry and Meghan’s two-hour interview where they alleged that Meghan had experienced racism and insensitive treatment during her time in the royal family.
It also came after Queen Elizabeth reportedly engaged Prince Charles and William in crisis talks as pressure mounted.
