Things Took a Turn After Her Pregnancy Was Revealed

One of the big red flags that she literally wouldn’t be protected by “the firm” was that after her pregnancy was made public, those in the Palace didn’t want Meghan and Harry’s child to be a prince or princess. They also offered no security for the unborn child after birth, which was frightening for Meghan and Harry. Stories about her were getting more out of hand, which they believed could play into the threats against them.

It was also jarring to her that the first member of color born into the royal family would not be receiving a title in the way that all the other grandchildren had received them. One can’t help but wonder if Archie’s Black roots played a role in that, and that’s when she shared that a royal family member had “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born” with Harry. There were actually “several conversations” at that on what it would mean and look like. Later on in the special, Harry wouldn’t share with whom he had those conversations.
