Prince Harry’s first post-Oprah talks with brother William ‘not productive’, friend says
- Prince Harry has also spoken to Prince Charles, after saying in the bombshell interview that his father had let him down
- Michelle Obama says Meghan Markle’s recollections about a remark made about the possible colour of her son’s skin were no surprise
Britain’s Prince Harry has spoken to his elder brother William for the first time since he and his wife Meghan’s Oprah Winfrey interview but the talks were “not productive”, a friend of the couple said on Tuesday.
During the interview aired by US television network CBS on March 7, Meghan said one unnamed member of the royal family had asked how dark their son Archie’s skin might be when he was born, while Harry said his father, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, had let him down and that he had felt trapped.
At an engagement last Thursday, Prince William said he had not yet spoken to his brother but intended to do so, telling reporters: “We’re very much not a racist family.”
Gayle King, the co-host of CBS This Morning, said she had spoken to Harry and Meghan at the weekend and that a conversation between the brothers had taken place.
“It’s true, Harry has talked to his brother and he has talked to his father too, and the word I was given was that those conversations were not productive, but they are glad that they have at least started a conversation,” she said.
William’s office Kensington Palace had no comment on King’s remarks.
