The Royal Family is facing immense pressure to respond to the shocking allegations made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during their tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. Royal correspondent Roya Nikkhah, from the UK Sunday Times, says the palace is taking its time to formulate a measured response rather than a knee-jerk reaction.
The interview, which aired in the UK on Monday night, has sparked a divisive reaction across the nation. While some viewers were shocked by the couple’s claims of racism and lack of support from the monarchy, others believe these are private family matters that should not have been aired publicly.
The allegations of racism, particularly the question about the skin tone of their son Archie, have sent shockwaves through the royal institution. While Harry and Meghan made it clear that neither the Queen nor Prince Philip made the comment, it has led to speculation about the identity of the individual involved.
Nikkhah suggests that Buckingham Palace is taking the allegations seriously and is unlikely to ignore them. However, she emphasizes the importance of avoiding a witch hunt within the royal family.
The interview has ignited a national conversation about race, mental health, and the future of the monarchy. As the dust settles, the Royal Family will need to carefully navigate this challenging situation to restore public trust and ensure its continued relevance in a changing world.
