Kate Middleton, Charles all smiles after accused of questioning Archie’s skin color



Kate Middleton and King Charles stepped out for the first time after they were named as the previously anonymous royals who allegedly brought up “concerns” over what color skin Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s child would have.

Middleton and Prince William, both 41, were all smiles while making an appearance on Thursday. The couple posed for photos with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden during a gathering at Windsor Castle in England.

This is their first appearance after Wednesday’s episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” in which the British broadcaster revealed they were the ones whom Markle claimed questioned the skin color of her unborn son, Archie.

Markle, 42, first made the claim during her March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. At the time, the former “Suits” star did not name names.

“[They asked about] how dark your baby is going to be?” Winfrey asked, prompting Markle to reply, “Potentially, and what that would mean or look like.”

The names were accidentally mentioned in Dutch copies of Omid Scobie’s new book, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.” 

The book is being temporarily pulled from shelves in the Netherlands so that the references can be removed.

According to Morgan, the book names Charles and Middleton. The Post cannot independently confirm the names that were accidentally revealed.

Middleton didn’t seem to be squirming after landing in hot water, however. She smiled in a forest green dress and matching heels, while William also looked cheerful in a suit Thursday. 

Charles, meanwhile, is currently in Dubai, where he will give a keynote speech at the COP28 climate change conference. At a Thursday event, he was reportedly asked by Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu how he was.

Per the Daily Mail, the monarch replied: “I’m all right, very much, just about.”

Middleton and Charles were apparently exposed by accident in editions of “Endgame” in the Netherlands.

Speaking to ITV’s “This Morning” on Thursday, Scobie said that he had “never submitted a book that had their names in it,” and could only talk about the English version that he wrote.

He said, “I am as frustrated as everyone else. The reality is, though, that this is information that is not privy just to me. Journalists across Fleet Street have known those names for a long time. We’ve all followed a sort of code of conduct when it comes to talking about it.”
