Speaking to Daily Mail, Thomas Markle expressed his surprise, stating, "The fact that Harry and Meghan have not publicly distanced themselves from this strikes me as unusual."
Meghan's father raised questions about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to remain silent on the matter. However, a source close to the couple, as reported by The Sunday Mirror, stated that they "never intended the names of their relative to be publicly named."
The insider added that the names of the royal figures involved in controversial conversations about Archie's skin color were not leaked to Scobie by Meghan's family.
The controversy surrounding the 'royal racist' emerged in 2021 when Meghan made shocking revelations about the royal family's treatment of her during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. In response, the royal family issued an official statement expressing concerns about the claims, emphasizing that the issues, particularly those related to race, would be addressed privately within the family.
The statement read, "The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," and it acknowledged the seriousness of the concerns raised, concluding with the assurance that Harry, Meghan, and Archie would always be much-loved family members.
