Meghan Markle ‘used royal tours to say Firm was racist’, author blasts | Royal | News

Meghan Markle reportedly used “faux-royal tours” to accuse the Royal Family of being racist, it has been claimed. In his new book Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family, author Tom Bower has made a number of claims about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

This includes claims from when the couple were working royals, and claims about their behaviour since they walked away from royal life in 2020. While Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, have already publicly slammed the book, this has not stopped Bower’s claims making headlines.

This includes the claim that Meghan Markle has used “faux-royal tours” to accuse the Royal Family of being “racist”.

The author claimed that the pair believed Nigeria was “the perfect battleground on which to weaponise a portrayal of the Royal Family as racist”.

He claimed that « over a dinner conversation in the military’s headquarters, Meghan told her story of two senior royals asking Harry while she was pregnant what colour the unborn child would be ».

The late Queen Elizabeth II also made a statement after Meghan made these claims to Oprah, stating: “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning.

“While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.”

It is believed Harry and Meghan are unhappy about Bower’s new book, with their spokesperson having released a statement earlier this month which read: “Mr Bower’s commentary has long crossed the line from criticism into fixation. This is someone who has publicly stated, ‘the monarchy in fact depends on actually obliterating the Sussexes from our state of life,’ language that speaks for itself.

“He has made a career out of constructing ever more elaborate theories about people he does not know and has never met. Those interested in facts will look elsewhere; those seeking deranged conspiracy and melodrama know exactly where to find him.”
