According to Markle, before the birth of baby Archie, some royal family members had raised concerns about the skin tone the little one would be born with - obviously worried that he may be on the darker side.

"She is making this up, the royals accepted her... why would they not accept their child? This interview is such an attention-seeking scam."

"This is so heartbreaking. As a mother, I don’t know how I would react to knowing that my unborn child is already subjected to racism. He wasn’t even born yet and they already don’t accept him because of what potentially his skin colour was going to be. They are evil. #wickedwindsors"
