British royal family news indicates that comedian Chris Rock is speaking out about Meghan Markle and some of her claims against her in-laws, and he’s not holding back. Just like Piers Morgan before him, Rock took Megs to task for embellishing the truth.
According to him, the royal family mentioning the skin color of her and Prince Harry’s son Archie is not “racism.” To him, this chatter is just the type of things that families do.
The comedian made the comments in his Netflix comedy special “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage.” The event was filmed on Saturday in Baltimore, Maryland, on Saturday. The historic event was the first time that Netflix aired a live program.

In case you didn’t catch the show, Rock started out his bit by talking about people he believes victimize themselves: “Everybody trying to be a victim. Meghan Markle, seem like a nice lady, just complaining. I was like ‘Didn’t she hit the light-skin lottery?'”

Rock took his criticism further saying that Meghan knowingly married, “into a family with a long history of racism.” According to Insider, “Rock said some examples she has given about racism within the royal family aren’t actually racist. It’s the royal family!
They’re the original racists. They invented colonialism. Some of the shit she went through wasn’t racism, it was just some in-law shit.” Meghan also works for Netflix, wonder if she got to stream Rock’s show for free?

Rock repeated what Meghan told Oprah Winfrey in the couple’s infamous 2021 interview: “In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time, we have in tandem the conversation of he won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title, and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”

Rock asserted that, “the royals asking about Archie’s skin color isn’t racist because Black people ask the same questions. That’s not racist because even Black people want to know how brown the baby going to be.”
Since the interview, Meghan and Prince Harry have failed to name the royal family member in question. After the interview aired, Buckingham Palace released a statement on behalf of the late Queen Elizabeth II that said in part that the whole family was, “saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been,” for the royal runaways.
