Meghan during Oprah interview:
In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of 'He won't be given security. He's not going to be given a title,' and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born," she said.
"There were several conversations about it," she said.
“That was relayed to me from Harry,” she said. “Those were conversations that family had with him. And I think — it was really hard to see those as compartmentalized conversations."
“Because they were concerned that if he were too brown, that that would be a problem? Are you saying that?” Oprah asked.
“I wasn't able to follow up with why, but that— if that's the assumption you're making, I think that feels like a pretty safe one, which was really hard to understand, right?” she said.
Harry during Oprah interview:
“That conversation I’m never going to share. But at the time, at the time it was awkward. I was a bit shocked,” Harry said. “What will the kids look like?”
“That was at the very beginning when she was not going to get security “
From the most recent update on the article:
It is understood that both the King and the Duchess acknowledged that the individual’s remark was not made with malice.
The Duchess is believed to have thanked the King for his words. The Duchess’s letter is also said to suggest that she had never intended to specifically accuse the individual involved of being a racist, but was raising concerns about unconscious bias.
Reading the comments from the Sussex interview and the details of the letter regarding the complexion comment, it seems that there's definitely discrepancies. First between Harry and Meghan, as Meghan claimed there were several conversations with family about how dark Archie’s skin would be when she was pregnant, whereas Harry claimed it was right at the beginning referring to only one conversation.
Then when Oprah asked Meghan that the concern was that Archie would be too brown and that would be a problem, Meghan never denied it and said that's a pretty safe assumption. Most people would assume that Meghan was agreeing with what Oprah said.
Now it comes out that Meghan has acknowledged that the remark (so there was only one remark after all instead of a series of conversations?) was not made with malice nor was it outright racist. That is completely different to what the Sussexes implied in the Oprah interview. Being concerned about how dark a baby’s skin tone is malicious and completely racist, not just mere unconscious bias.
