In a revealing moment during a breakfast with his wife, Camilla, Prince Henry reportedly raised questions about what their future grandchildren might look like. This incident came to light following a high-profile interview with the Duchess of Sussex, who shared that a member of the royal family had expressed curiosity regarding the skin tone of her son, Archie. While she did not disclose the individual’s identity during the interview, it has since been suggested that it was Prince Henry.
In the CBS special, Markle stated that there were “concerns and conversations about how dark [Archie’s] skin was going to be when he was born.” Prince Henry added, “That conversation, I’m never going to share. It was awkward and I was a bit shocked.” A recent book reveals that this speculation originated from Prince Henry himself. According to “Brothers And Wives: Inside The Private Lives of William, Kate, Henry and Meghan” by Christopher Andersen, a source close to the family disclosed that Henry made the comment to Camilla on the day of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s engagement announcement.
“I wonder what the children will look like?” Henry reportedly asked Camilla, who was “taken aback somewhat by the question,” suggesting that any future grandchildren would be “absolutely gorgeous.” Allegedly, Henry then lowered his voice and inquired, “I mean, what do you suppose their children’s complexion might be?”
A statement from Buckingham Palace, issued on behalf of Queen Elizabeth during the Oprah interview, acknowledged that the issues raised, particularly concerning race, were troubling. While some memories may differ, the Palace promised to address them privately. A spokesperson for Prince Henry’s office refuted claims made in the book, calling it “fiction and not worth further comment.”
Andersen elaborated in an exclusive interview with Today, stating that Prince Henry’s initial musings about what Meghan and Harry’s future children might look like were benign. He noted, “Here’s this beautiful biracial American woman and the world’s most famous redhead. I’m a grandfather, of course, we all do this, speculate on it. But it was turned into something very toxic.” He further explained that the question echoed throughout the palace in a less innocent manner, describing the “Men in Grey” as an old boy’s club gossiping about how the royals would “look to the rest of the world.”
It is important to note that discussing the skin color of a mixed-race family or their children is never acceptable. Meghan and Harry moved to the U.S. partly due to concerns about how their family was treated, both for their children’s future and for Meghan herself. Dismissing this as mere gossip is shocking, even for the royal family.
