In reaction to the Harry and Meghan interview, Buckingham Palace has released a statement saying the race concerns raised are “concerning” and “will be discussed.”

Following the explosive Oprah interview airing in full on UK television last night, the statement on behalf of the Queen said: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
