Social media commentators assumed the pair were referring to Prince Phillip, the Queen\u2019s 99-year-old husband, who is currently in the hospital suffering from an unknown illness, because Phillip has a history of making outrageous and often controversial statements, often about race.<\/p>\n<p>Other statements, like the one suggesting that the person who made the comments was also responsible for revoking Archie\u2019s title, pointed to Queen Elizabeth herself, as she is the only member of the royal family who controls who receives a title.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday morning, the pair backtracked on their claims, clarifying that it was neither the Queen nor Prince Phillip who made the comments but refusing to give any indication of which family members were the accused racists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">\u2018On Monday, Winfrey told Gayle King that despite pressing Prince Harry \u2018on camera and off\u2019 about who was a part of those conversations, he would not say,\u201d Fox News reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe did not share the identity with me but he wanted to make sure that I knew and if I had an opportunity&nbsp;to share it, that it was not his grandmother [Queen Elizabeth] nor his grandfather [Prince Philip] that were a part of those conversations,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/queen-elizabeth-unity-coronavirus-meghan-markle-prince-harry-interview\">Winfrey said, per the outlet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe did not tell me who were a part of those conversations as you can see I tried to get that answer on camera and off,\u201d she finished.<\/p>\n<p>The royal pair made headlines with their tell-all interview Sunday night, but further commentary focused largely on the fallout from Harry and Meghan\u2019s accusations of racism. The royal family is not expected to respond, but the Queen did deliver a message on an unrelated event Monday morning, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/queen-elizabeth-unity-coronavirus-meghan-markle-prince-harry-interview\">stressing peace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
