Prince William and Kate Middleton have demanded a firm response from the Palace from Harry and Meghan, the book says

As soon as the controversial interview given to host Oprah Winfrey by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, aired in 2021, the reaction from Buckingham Palace was complete silence. Behind the scenes, however, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, would have demanded a firm answer from the official residence of the royal family.

In the book Courtiers: the hidden power behind the crown, written by British journalist Valentine Low, the wife of the heir to the British throne requested that the official statement include the phrase “some memories may be different.” According to her, the situations happened differently than Harry and Meghan described them.

“History will judge that statement, and unless that line or something like that is included, everything they said will be deemed true,” the book says about Kate’s position. Prince William, in turn, would have supported his partner’s decision

“The two believed that something was needed to say that the institution did not accept much of what was said,” the journalist pointed out.

In the interview, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said the royal family had questions about the skin color of their unborn son, Archie. In March 2021, Queen Elizabeth II herself released a personal statement saying “the whole family was saddened” to learn how difficult the last few years in London have been for Harry and Meghan.

“The issues raised, particularly those relating to race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they will be taken very seriously and handled privately,” the palace said. The monarch also stressed that the couple and the baby “will always be very dear members of the family”.
