In an interview with U.S. journalist Oprah Winfrey last March, Charles’ youngest son, Prince Harry, and his wife, Megan, said an unnamed royal asked how dark the skin of their unborn first child was. The news that the suspicion was about Crown Prince Charles caused a great deal of controversy.

Prince Charles’ office on Monday rejected a statement saying he was not a British monarch if he did not make racist remarks about his grandson’s skin color.

Megan, a former American television actress, has a black mother and a white father. According to the New York Post’s Page Six ‘website, Charles made this controversial statement through a “source of evidence”.

The source alleges that the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and the heir to the British throne made these statements about the blackening of children in November 2017, even on the day Harry and Megan announced their engagement.

However, as the British media continued to report, Charles’s office immediately rejected the request.
