Queen Elizabeth responds to Harry and Meghan Markle's racism accusations

Queen Elizabeth responds to Harry and Meghan Markle

Buckingham Palace issued a statement Tuesday, saying the family was saddened to learn of the challenges Harry and Meghan had faced in the past few years - and that they would address the issues privately.

The palace said the "issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning,'' and are taken very seriously.

"Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members,'' the statement said.

The statement is the first comment by the palace following Harry and Meghan's two-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey in which they alleged that Meghan had experienced racism and callous treatment during her time in the royal family.

Earlier, some observers had said that Buckingham Palace's silence on the topic has only added to the furor surrounding the TV interview.
