Calgary Oprah Reveals Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip Did Not Make Racist Archie Comments | HuffPost Entertainment - Action.News ABC Action News WestNet-HD Weather Traffic

Oprah Winfrey clarified in a new interview on CBS This Morning on Monday that the racist concerns raised by members of the royal family about Archies skin color prior to his birth were not made by either Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

During Winfreys appearance on the morning show, Gayle King asked her about the jaw-dropping moment when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry brought up the comments about their son in their bombshell interview with Winfrey on Sunday night.

You asked Harry about it when he came out he did not tell you who it was, the CBS This Morning co-anchor said. Did you all have another conversation about it? Because that was something that its a big guessing game all around the world: Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? And I thought it was very touching that Harry is still choosing to protect the identity of whoever that was.

Yes, and he did not share the identity with me, but he wanted to make sure that I knew and if I had the opportunity to share it that it was not his grandmother or his grandfather [who] were a part of those conversations. Winfrey said. He did not tell me who were a part of those conversations.

As you can see, I tried to get that answer on camera and off, she added.

CBS This Morning (@CBSThisMorning) March 8, 2021

The Duchess of Sussex told the media mogul on Sunday night that she also wouldnt reveal who made the comments about how dark her sons skin would be.

I think that would be very damaging to them, Meghan said, adding that the conversations never took place with her, only with Harry.

Harry, who later joined his wife and Winfrey in the interview, described the conversations as awkward.

I was a little bit shocked, he said.
