BOY GEORGE once blasted Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, declaring “shame” on the US chat show host for not being more rigorous with her questioning of the couple.
George has become known for his outspoken views on politics and other subjects in recent years.
One such occasion came in March last year as he let rip at the interview Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did with Oprah Winfrey for CBS and ITV.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down with the US chat show host to open up about their decision to step back from their royal roles, but George claimed that Oprah could have pushed them further in their answers.
One of Meghan’s claims to Oprah was that a member of the Royal Family had spoken with Harry about what colour the skin of their son Archie would be when he was born.
Meghan, who is mixed race, claimed there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born”.
George reacted to Oprah’s tweet publicizing the interview before it was released in full, writing to his 482,000 followers that she should have questioned Meghan’s allegation further.
He said: “Sadly, Meghan wasn’t prepared to tell us who made these alleged comments about Archie’s skin colour?
“I believe she has a responsibility to tell us. Shame on Oprah for not pushing it more. It’s a HUGE accusation!”
However, in the replies, fellow Twitter users jumped to Meghan’s defence, reminding George that it was Harry to whom the remarks about Archie’s skin colour were made and not Meghan.
One wrote: “Why do you think she has that responsibility?” Another added: “Why would that be HER responsibility when Harry said it was said to HIM? Maybe she was respecting Harry’s right to relay who said it?”
George also said Oprah could have asked more questions about Meghan’s family.
He wrote: “Not a single question about Meghan’s family? Is there a part two or is there only financial mileage in dissing our Royal Family?”
George also claimed he did not have anything against Meghan or the Royal Family.
