Twist in ‘royal racism’ row as Meghan Markle could be quizzed under oath about ‘Archie’s skin colour’ claim

Omid Scobie identified the King and Princess Kate as those alleged to have asked Meghan and Harry what colour Archie’s skin might be

THE Duchess of Sussex could be questioned under oath about the identity of the so-called “royal racists”.

Lawyers want to quiz Meghan over “family matters” as part of sister Samantha Markle’s libel action against her in the US.

And Peter Ticktin, for Samantha, said the Royal Family racism accusations “need to be explored”.

In the Dutch translation of his book Endgame, writer Omid Scobie identified King Charles and Princess Kate as those alleged to have asked Meghan and Prince Harry what colour their son Archie’s skin might be.

Samantha claims she has been subjected to “worldwide hatred, contempt, and ridicule” as a result of Meghan and Harry’s comments in their Netflix series and in the 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Her lawsuit alleges Meghan’s claim she grew up an only child and half-sister Samantha only changed her name back to Markle after she began dating Prince Harry made her look like a “liar for profit and fame”.

Samantha’s Florida-based lawyer Mr Ticktin told The Sun on Sunday he will demand the Sussexes submit to a deposition — a formal interview under oath as part of a US lawsuit.

Mr Ticktin said: “The royal racists issue needs to be explored.

“There’s reasons why she abandoned her family and turned on her family.

“This is a person who wants to be able to say horrible things and not really care if she destroyed the lives of people in her family

“She doesn’t care if she destroys the monarchy.”

Mr Ticktin said Meghan’s lawyers were “stonewalling” their requests for information in the case in the hope that a judge would dismiss it.

But he said he will file a motion with the court next month demanding they hand documents over.

Meghan and Harry were approached for comment.
