British Royal News – King Charles III Didn’t Realize Meghan Markle Was Biracial When He First Met Her
As many royal fans already know, Meghan Markle told the world that when she was pregnant, there were apparently some concerns over the color of her child’s skin tone among some members of the royal family when she was still pregnant back in 2019.
The royals had denied it, but it was enough for Meghan to feel super uncomfortable among her in-laws. Well, according to author Christoper Andersen, he says that Meghan’s race or her ethnicity didn’t even come to mind when Charles first met her.
In his book, “The King: The Life of Charles III,” Andersen wrote, “After returning from Botswana that fall, Harry introduced Meghan to his father and Camilla. The Prince of Wales found the young American actress—who bore a passing resemblance to Kate’s sister, Pippa—’completely charming, absolutely delightful.’ At the time, Prince Charles had no idea that Harry’s new girlfriend was biracial. ‘Not that it would have mattered at all, of course,’ Charles told an American friend. ‘But no, I didn’t realize that until later.’”
Andersen continued, “For her part, the Queen, who experienced countless up-close-and-personal encounters with people of all races, ethnicities, and religions during her record-breaking reign, appeared utterly devoid of prejudice. Not once had she ever been heard to make a racially insensitive comment.

The same could not be said for Charles, although his gaffes were rare—like the time he told a writer of Guyanese descent that she didn’t ‘look like’ she was born in the British city of Manchester, presumably because she was black and wore dreadlocks.”
British Royal News – The Royals Warmed Up To Meghan
That said, Andersen also added that both Prince Philip and Charles warmed up to Meghan immediately. But then again, Pippa and Meghan look nothing alike, right? What an odd thing to write.
