It was a good year and a half ago that Duchess Meghan raised serious allegations against her husband Prince Harry's family in conversation with Oprah Winfrey. A family member asked Prince Harry how dark the skin color of their first child together could be, Meghan said at the time. Now a similar comment is causing angry reactions.
In his new book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, Tom Bower describes an incident that allegedly also happened before Meghan and Harry's son Archie was born. In 2016, Duchess Camilla is said to have told her step-son Harry that it would be "funny" if his child had "red Afro hair".
But they still cause angry reactions on social networks. "Camilla reportedly said that it would be 'funny' if Harry and Meghan's child had redhead Afro hair. First off, there's nothing wrong with a child with redhead Afro hair and if she finds that funny, that's saying a lot much about their views on black people," tweeted journalist Lorraine King.
Others commented that speculating about a child's appearance is common and therefore not surprising news. "It's not at all shocking that Camilla Parker-Bowles said that. Red hair and afros are both frowned upon, so of course the couple whose child they despise should have both," retorted another user.
Neither Prince Harry nor Duchess Meghan have commented on the passages from Tom Bower's book. And Clarence House, the seat of Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla, has also been silent so far. However, sources close to Camilla said the story was "nonsense".
