Meghan Markle and her son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor's "skin colour remark" was seemingly referenced in Netflix's Bridgerton spin-off series Queen Charlotte, according to fans.
Bridgerton fans think they've spotted a sly jibe at the British Royal Family, which links to the Duchess of Sussex's chat with Oprah Winfrey.
In March 2021 when Meghan and Prince Harry sat down for a tell-all chat with Oprah, the Duchess expressed how the Royal Family had several "concerns and conversations about how dark his [Archie's] skin might be when he was born".
In the chat she added: "That was relayed to me from Harry. Those were conversations that family had with him."
