Gayle King Denies Racism Claims Against British Royal Family

Gayle King, a close friend of Oprah Winfrey, has made a surprising statement regarding the racism allegations made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle against the British royal family.

Speaking at the Ripple of Hope Awards, King dismissed the claims, stating that she does not believe the royal family is racist.

In fact, she added that she is glad neither Queen Elizabeth nor Prince Philip are alive to witness what she called a “grisly but typically Sussexian spectacle.”

The event, attended by high-profile individuals who paid at least £4,000 each, was marked by disappointment as Meghan and Harry failed to make an appearance.

Despite this, the buzz surrounding the couple's tell-all interview with Oprah continues to reverberate.

The interview included allegations that a member of the royal family expressed concerns about the skin color of their son.

Buckingham Palace responded to these allegations with a statement from the Queen, acknowledging that recollections may vary on the topic of racism.

However, Gayle King, who is known for her close friendship with Oprah, suggested that Meghan has evidence to support her claims, referring to them as “receipts.”

Meanwhile, Rob Rinder, a well-known TV personality and judge, criticized Meghan and Harry for accepting a Human Rights Award.

Rinder argued that there are other campaigners who are more deserving of the honor, accusing the couple of lacking humility.

He questioned their decision to accept the award for challenging racism within the royal family, emphasizing the importance of recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to human rights.

Adding to the controversy, royal author Phil Dampier claimed that Meghan and Harry fear losing their influence if they fade from the public eye.

Despite announcing a period of parental leave following the birth of their daughter, Lilibet, the couple has continued to make public statements.

This has led to confusion among royal commentators, who expected the couple to maintain a lower profile.

Dampier expressed surprise at their ongoing visibility, stating that it contradicts their initial plans to focus on their young family.

He speculated that Meghan and Harry may be concerned about losing their influence and being forgotten if they are not constantly in the limelight.

This echoes the Queen's famous belief that being seen is essential for maintaining public support.

As the fallout from Meghan and Harry's interview continues, opinions remain divided.

Gayle King's denial of racism within the royal family has added another layer of complexity to the ongoing saga.

With each new development, it becomes increasingly clear that this story is far from over.
