During her interview with Oprah, Meghan also spoke of the lead-up to Archie's birth in May 2019, in which she revealed there were "several conversations" taking place within the palace walls that Harry later related to her.
She told Oprah, "In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of ‘He won’t be given security. He’s not going to be given a title,’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born."
However Meghan refused to reveal which member of the royal family it was, having added, "It would be very damaging to them".
