British Royal Family Statement: We take very seriously the issues raised with Harry and Meghan's interviews, in particular the issue of race

Queen Elizabeth II expressed her "sorrow" for the hardships faced by Prince Harry and his wife Megan, asserting that their allegations of racism "will be taken seriously," according to a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Tuesday in their first reaction to the couple's resounding interview.

"The issues raised, especially those related to racism, are worrying. Although some memories may differ, they will be taken seriously and the family will deal with them out of the limelight," the statement added.

The statement indicated that the British royal family is saddened by the defiance of Prince Harry and his wife Megan in recent years, and continued, "Harry, Megan and Archie will always be very beloved members of the family."

Earthquake

Pressure intensified Tuesday on the British royal family to force it to respond to the charges of racism that were leveled against it during an interview with Prince Harry and his wife Megan on American television, which plunges the British throne in a crisis that is divided by the British.

The fiery statements contained in the interview moderated by Oprah Winfrey on Sunday and aired by the British television media on Monday evening, shook the British royal palace, which chose silence at the beginning.

However, observers assert that the interview caused an earthquake reminiscent of what happened during the era of Princess Diana and even the crisis of the resignation of King Edward VIII in 1936.

The newspaper "The Times" reported that Queen Elizabeth II refused to agree to a statement intended to calm the atmosphere, preferring to be patient in preparing the required response.

And after Prince Harry accused him of "failing him" in his problems within the royal family, Prince Charles avoided talking about meeting his son and Megan, during his visit Tuesday to a church that had been converted as a vaccination center against Corona in London.

Prince Charles told a woman, after introducing herself to be from Nigeria, that it is "a really wonderful country. I have visited it, it has a lot of different ethnic groups."
