Harry and Meghan take a dig at Queen, slams her reaction to Oprah tell-all

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have slammed Queen Elizabeth's reaction to Oprah Winfrey interview, wherein they detailed they were subjected to racial behaviour by the royal family.

The couple said they were not surprised the Queen did not take full responsibility of the ordeal they went through, in a joint bio of the updated version of their biography Finding Freedom.

The book states the monarch's “recollections may vary” comment on Harry and Meghan’s claims of the racism Markle said she faced as a royal “did not go unnoticed.”

The book quotes a source close to the couple as saying they were “‘not surprised’ that full ownership was not taken.”

“Months later and little accountability has been taken,” a source close to Markle said. “How can you move forward without that?”

“It took 36 hours for the palace to weigh in,” on Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, write authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, "when Queen Elizabeth issued a statement saying they were ‘saddened to learn’ of the challenges Harry and Meghan had faced but adding that ‘some recollections may vary.'”

“Buckingham Palace,” they note, “had no further comment on the updated book.”

Meghan and Harry made a series of allegations against the royal family, including how a member raised concerns over Archie's skin colour.
