Earlier this year, Prince Harry's memoir Spare became the UK's fastest-selling non-fiction book with reports that it sold 400,000 copies on the day of its release. Since the Sussexes stepped down as working royals, there has been a huge interest in what caused them to walk away from the monarchy, and they have shared their personal experiences in televised interviews - first with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, and then in their own Netflix show Harry & Meghan in 2022.
One of the biggest talking points from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah was their claim that a member of the royal family expressed 'concern' over their son Archie's skin colour while the Duchess was pregnant. According to Harry and Meghan, there were 'several conversations' about it in the royal household, with one person asking 'how dark his skin might be when he's born'.
