The Kingdom’s Choir, who performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018, have defended Prince Charles after the former royal couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Karen Gibson, who is the founder and conductor of the gospel choir, said that the Prince of Wales was the one who invited them to the big day and has gone "out of his way" to congratulate them on their successes ever since.

During Meghan and Harry's two-hour interview, the Duchess of Sussex claimed that there was "conversations" had about what color skin her son, Archie, would have when he was born. 

Additionally, Meghan claimed that she was told Archie was not going to be given the title of "prince" while she was expecting and by extension, "he wasn’t going to receive security."
