On the day Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement was revealed, Prince Charles allegedly had a few eyebrow-raising questions about the pair’s future children.

A new book claims Prince Charles privately discussed with his wife the likely “complexion” of any children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

But the author stops short of directly alleging that Charles is the royal racist who expressed “concerns” to Prince Harry over the skin color of the couple’s children, as Meghan Markle told Oprah in a bombshell interview.

27, 2017, the day Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement was revealed, Prince Charles asked his wife, Camila, “I wonder what the children look like?”.

The allegations recall the bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March, in which Meghan said that a member of the royal family had expressed to Harry “concerns” “about how dark [Archie’s] skin might be when he was born.”.

So while it seems unlikely the new revelation will lead to the definitive unmasking of the royal racist, there was certainly significant speculation at the time of the interview that Harry—who vowed to take the secret of the person's identity to his grave—may have had Charles in mind when he said that a member of the family had asked him a question along the lines of, “What will the kids look like?”.

Harry, when asked about the alleged question, said it was a “conversation I’m never going to share,” but when Oprah suggested he was asked, “Like, what will the baby look like?” he said: “Yeah, what will the kids look like?”
