Apart from stating that the Royal Family wouldn’t protect the 'royal couple', Meghan Markle also alleged that there were apprehensions on how ‘dark’ the skin of their first child would be, when she was expecting Archie. Reacting to the statement, Simi Garewal wrote that she did not believe a word that Meghan said, ‘not a word’, she reiterated. Calling the Duchess of Sussex the first "mixed-race royal" as an ‘evil’ person, the Karz actor stated that she was using the ‘race card’ to gain sympathy.
#OprahMeghanHarry I don't believe a word Meghan says. Not a word. She is lying to make herself a victim. She is using the race card to gain sympathy. Evil.

Meghan Markle’s sensational claims on Oprah interview
Meghan Markle claimed that the Royal Family weren't willing to 'tell the truth' to protect her and Prince Harry, but were willing to ‘lie’ to protect the other members of the family. Later, Oprah was in shock when Meghan told her that there were “concerns and conversations’ on how dark their first child’s skin might be. Meghan-Harry welcomed their first child, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, 2019.
Meghan also stated that being a divorcee and a mixed-race person was not something she was conscious about but started thinking of it as a factor ‘because they made me think about it.” She, however, clarified that the Queen was ‘always wonderful’ to her.
Meghan Markle had got married to Prince Harry on November 27, 2017. In January 2020, it was announced that they were stepping back from their roles as members of the royal family and then shifted to California. Her pregnancy was announced last month and she also revealed in the interview that they were expecting a girl.
