Shortly after Meghan voiced her concerns about security, she revealed that one of Harry's relatives spoke negatively about Archie's pigmentation.

"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," she said.

Despite Meghan's revelation, Harry later clarified that his loved ones weren't "racist" but guilty of "unconscious bias."

Meghan's identity also played a role in the duo's Netflix tell-all series, Harry & Meghan.

"[It's] very different to be a minority but not be treated as a minority right off the bat," the Suits star explained. "Obviously, now, people are very aware of my race because they made it such an issue when I went to the U.K. But before that, most people didn't treat me like a 'Black woman.' So that talk didn't have to happen for me."

Harry spoke to ITV.

William was quoted by the Associated Press.
