You certainly must have had some conversations with Harry about it and had your own suspicions as to why they didn\u2019t want to make Archie a prince. Why do you think that is?\u201d Winfrey asked Markle, leading into whether Markle believed the decision was motivated by Archie\u2019s mixed-race heritage. \u201cWhat are those thoughts? Why do you think that is? Do you think it was because of his race? And I know that\u2019s a loaded question, but \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can give you an honest answer,\u201d Markle responded. \u201cIn those months when I was pregnant, all around the same time, so we had in tandem the conversation of, \u2018He won\u2019t be given security, he\u2019s not gonna be given a title,\u2019 and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he\u2019s born.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meghan expressed shock at the \u201cidea of the first member of color in this family not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be,\u201d and claimed that the title was \u201cnot their right to take away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/meghan-claims-racism-prevented-archie-from-being-a-prince-the-rule-barring-his-title-dates-to-1917\">the Daily Wire reported<\/a>, \u201cthe rule barring great-grandchildren of the sovereign, in this case, Queen Elizabeth, from being titled dates back much further than Archie\u2019s birth. In fact, the rule goes back to King George V who, in 1917 \u2014 more than 100 years before Archie was born \u2014 who issued \u2018letters patent\u2019 \u2014 a royal order \u2014 decreeing that just children and grandchildren [in direct line for the throne] would be able to use \u2018prince\u2019 or \u2018princess\u2019 and the honorary \u2018HRH,\u2019 or \u2018his or her royal highness.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Archie was never going to be a prince at birth, regardless of his skin color. Only his cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who are in direct line of succession to the throne, would bear that title.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Scobie, who has frequent discussions with Harry and Meghan, says Meghan was \u201cperhaps\u201d \u201cwrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we are only going by what Meghan said to Oprah and what the palace have said so far about the situation with Archie, perhaps one can assume that Meghan was wrong in her interpretation of it,\u201d Scobie<a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2021\/05\/01\/meghan-markle-may-have-been-wrong-about-archies-royal-title\/?_ga=2.249843846.1218376377.1619966912-1771594080.1509055226\"> reportedly told a Discovery Channel journalist<\/a> in an interview for an upcoming documentary on the Winfrey Interview.<\/p>\n<p>Scobie quickly reversed direction though, claiming that many of the official discussions about Archie\u2019s title were private.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we also know that there is much more to this story that we don\u2019t know about,\u201d Scobie said.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201croyal title\u201d claim is one of several that were debunked in the days following the pair\u2019s bombshell interview. According to Australia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thenewdaily.com.au\/entertainment\/celebrity\/royal\/2021\/03\/11\/harry-meghan-oprah-fact-check\/\">The New Daily<\/a>, it also appears Meghan was bending the truth when she claimed the royal family stripped her of her passport, identification, and keys, given that she traveled frequently with Harry and to the United States for a posh baby shower in New York City, and that Meghan did no research on the royal family before dating Prince Harry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/meghan-claims-racism-prevented-archie-from-being-a-prince-the-rule-barring-his-title-dates-to-1917\">Meghan Claims Racism Prevented Archie From Being A Prince.
