In her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan had said there were "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born," from members of the royal family. Owens in her column tells off Markle for implying it was a racist "concern", adding that it was "harmless imagination" in her opinion. Owens is married to Englishman George Farmer whose parents are a lord and lady.
Owens and Farmer welcomed their son on January 13, 2021. In the article, Owens mentioned that she fielded questions about her son's skin color while pregnant and most of it was from her sisters, who like her are Black, as well as from her husband but none of them were racist in nature.
"Instead, we are parents, as my sisters were future-aunts, beyond excited to imagine who our bi-racial, multicultural child would look like," she wrote, adding that it made her skin crawl when Markle made those claims during the interview. She also blamed Markle for isolating Harry from her brother, father, and the entire family and added that her announcing that members of the royal family are racist was to deepen the crack in those relationships.
Owens also spoke about her experience in the UK during her many trips stating that she didn't experience any racism. "By way of comparison, it is worth noting that Meghan is half black. I am fully black – like both of my parents. How is it, then, that I have not experienced the racism that Meghan so effortlessly speaks of during my many trips to the United Kingdom?" She also questioned Markle's claims that she didn't know Harry was a prince before falling in love with him while adding that in her opinion what the UK hates about Meghan is her "character."
"Maybe it’s the inconsistency of a woman who once posed for tourist snaps outside Buckingham Palace but now claims to have had no idea who Prince Harry was when she fell in love with him," Owens wrote, also claiming that Markle is guilty of many things during her sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, chief of them being "intellectual laziness." She further added, "Maybe it’s the disrespect shown to a family who, despite their flaws, have served their country in various ways and throughout the course of many decades. Maybe it’s the cheap Hollywood spin of an innocent little mermaid who fell in love with a handsome prince – but wanted even more."
