The Duke and Duchess of Sussex accused an unnamed member of the Royal Family – not the Queen or Prince Philip – of making a racist comment about their son Archie before he was born in their explosive Oprah Winfrey interview. Royal commentator Daniela Elser insisted Harry and Meghan should name the individual.
Ms Elser’s comments come after unauthorised biography Finding Freedom claimed the couple had considered outing the royal.
The Duke and Duchess have, however, distanced themselves from the biography and made it clear its authors, who rely on unnamed sources, do not speak on their behalf.
Writing for news.com.au, the royal commentator said the Sussexes have a “responsibility” to speak out.
Ms Elser warned not naming the royal “has not protected some unspecified member of the Royal Family from global infamy but has impugned the entire Royal Family”.
She said: “That is not fair. Nearly six months on since the two-hour prime time TV special, the entire Royal Family remains tarred with the same racist brush in many people’s minds.”
Ms Elser added: “Do Harry and Meghan have a responsibility here to either speak up or pipe down?
“They are the ones who opened up this particular Pandora’s box.
“When the Sussexes announced they wanted out as full-time working members of the Royal Family in January last year, the Queen quickly put the kybosh on their proposed half-in, half-out model.
“So too now they need to decide to either push on and level specific charges against whoever was involved in these ‘conversations’ or to draw a line under this chapter.”
Buckingham Palace said “some recollections may vary” in a statement after Harry and Meghan’s TV interview.

I have two things to say here. One, is that Oprah Winfrey is the biggest joke walking! I was once a guest on her show and she made my son look like the biggest idiot! Number two of all the crap that’s going on in this world today and in our country nobody gives a damn who said what. Prince Harry and Megan Markel opened this box. Should they say who it was that said something? No! MoveOn get over it. This author of that biography, is looking to make a lot of money at the expense of the royal family and two innocent babies.The author sounds to me like a race baiter! I hope they don’t fall into that trap even though they opened the door to it, the only people that are going to suffer is their children. Just leave it alone and move on. We have better things to do than this bullshit!
Amen!! Meghan has had more than her 15 minutes of fame! She became a princess & wanted more!
She had to come in & stir up the royal family & Oprah had to jump in to keep her face out there! There are much bigger worries for all of us!
