King Charles was the 'only royal to speak to Meghan after Oprah interview'
The King was reportedly the only person to speak to Meghan Markle after Prince Harry and the Duchess's infamous TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.
It is understood that the Duchess of Sussex wrote to King Charles III after the interview, in which she is said to have expressed concerns about unconscious bias in the family.
Harry and Meghan claimed in the interview that one member of the Royal Family had made a comment speculating on the skin colour of the couple's first child.
Meghan felt she did not receive a satisfactory response to the allegation made and this is one factor in her decision not to attend the Coronation next month.
The day of the Coronation is also her son Archie's fourth birthday, however.

Meghan is said to have thanked the King for his words and accepted that the comment was made without malice. In response, she is believed to have said she did not wish to accuse the unnamed individual of racism, but was raising concerns about unconscious bias.
Despite that, it is understood Meghan still feels the comment was indeed racist.

He is not expected to take part in either the King’s Procession or the Coronation Procession to and from Buckingham Palace, nor will he be on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
