Did Prince William comment on Archie's skin color? Wild theories float as Harry clears Queen and Prince Philip

Many users seem to be leaning towards Prince Harry's brother aka Prince William as a possible suspect and came up with several wild theories to prove it

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey revealed some rather startling details about the British royal family. One of the things that Meghan revealed in the interview was the racist beliefs that some of the royal family members still seemed to harbor.

Meghan left everybody, including Oprah, shocked when she revealed that a certain royal family member expressed concerns over "how dark" the couple's child would be. Meghan explained this when Oprah questioned the former actress if she felt that the royal family was trying to stop her unborn son from being made a prince, thus preventing him from receiving any official security that comes attached with the title. She then point-blank asked Meghan if she thought it was because of the baby's race.

Meghan replied that she would answer it "honestly", and proceeded to share that there were "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born". When Oprah tried to get her to reveal the identity of the person who asked such racist questions, Meghan refused to disclose any details saying it would be "too damaging" for the family. Harry too confirmed that he had a "conversation about Archie's skin tone" with a family member, and described it as being "awkward" and feeling a "bit shocked" over it. He too echoed his wife in refusing to disclose the person's identity.

This led to people speculating who might have had such an outrageous discussion with Harry, and many zeroed in on either Queen Elizabeth or Prince Philip being behind it. But after the interview was aired in the US, Oprah revealed that Harry had asked her to make it very clear that it wasn't the Queen or Prince Philip who had that uncomfortable conversation with him. This once again left people going on a wild witch hunt to figure out which royal family member was behind it. 

Internet users seem to be leaning towards Prince Harry's father Prince Charles as a possible suspect and came up with several wild theories to prove it. A user tweeted, "I'm going to take a wild guess but the person in the royal family who was inquiring about Archie's skin color. I'm thinking it was Prince Charles, Harry papa." Another user wrote, "I think prince Charles made the comment about the color I’d Archie’s skin color. He seems like a real jerk to me. I never liked how he and the rest of the family treated Diana." "Meghan indicated that the comments about Archie's skin color came at the same time & same source as the George V remarks. This adds up to me. He stopped taking their calls, Harry clearly had the most pain around Charles. We know it wasn't Philip or Queen now. It was Charles," pointed out a user. "According to Oprah, Harry said it wasn’t his grandparents who brought up Archie’s skin color. So it was his deddy," declared a user. 

Several users felt that Prince William could have been behind this. A user explained, "I think the big conversation was Charles. I think William also mentioned color. But y’all I bet dollars to donuts MULTIPLE people on multiple occasions made microaggressive comments about that baby’s skin color." Another said, "Charles probably made the comments about not giving Archie HRH and Prince titles and William defended his dad and backed his comments up by taking it even further by making comments about skin color. We all know."

Another user said, "It seems like it was either kate or William who said something about archie’s skin color #OprahMeghanHarry." One user shared, "I am almost certain now that it was William who asked about Archie’s skin color. Meghan said that it would be “very damaging to them” if she disclosed who it was. I don’t think news of it being Charles would be damaging at all, but with William it would be chaos. #TalksWithAsh," observed a user. One more said, "my bets are on prince william who speculated about archie's skin color." One more said, "Just speculation..I think #PrinceWilliam is the one who had the conversation with #PrinceHarry about #Archie skin color and hoe dark it would be. It would explain the rift in their relationship. #CBS #Oprah #OprahMeghanHarry #HarryandMeghanonOprah #HarryAndMeghan #MeghanAndHarry."
