Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Opal Tometi has reportedly called for a boycott of the Royal Family following Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Ms Tometi told news outlet TMZ on Tuesday that people should stop standing-by the Royal Family, and called for a boycott of the institution, over claims by the couple that their son’s skin tone was called into question.
The duchess said during the interview that “concerns” were raised about the skin colour of their son Archie, who was born in May 2019.
She added there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born,” and that some of those conversations were “relayed to me from Harry.”
The claims were made during the CBS interview that first aired on Sunday night in the US, and on ITV on Monday in the UK.
The couple clarified that the Queen nor her husband, Prince Phillip, were responsible for the remarks about Archie’s skin tone, Ms Winfrey added on Monday.
