Prince Charles has not commented on Meghan and Harry's interview so far - but that was very difficult for him.
He allegedly wanted to refute all of the allegations.
London - Little by little, more and more voices from the royal environment are voicing Meghan's and Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey at the beginning of March.
The Queen released a statement by making it clear: This matter will be resolved in private.
Harry's brother Prince William surprisingly responded to the racism allegations at a press conference with his wife, Duchess Kate.
"We are definitely not a racist family," he said to a British reporter as he passed.
Meghan and Harry interview: silence according to royal protocol
Duchess Kate, on the other hand, remains silent until today.
She was also part of the interview because of a tabloid story with Meghan.
Allegedly Meghan had made her cry shortly before the wedding - but in truth it was the other way around, Meghan told Oprah and the world.
An anonymous source told
The Express
that William and Kate may not want to sit down.
They don't want to "turn the matter into a war of words any more than it already is, but for Kate this is something personal." In the meantime, an expert has revealed to the portal that Kate may have chosen the color of clothes on her first public appearance after the interview was deliberately selected.
Pink represents a symbol of affection, harmony, friendship and peace.

Now there is a new round of speculation in dealing with the interview in the palace.
Because Prince Charles, Harry's father, was also mentioned in the interview.

In the background, however, it should have been simmering.
Royals expert Katie Nicholl
told
ET
that this silence was not easy for Prince Charles.
"I understand that Prince Charles wanted to provide a more detailed explanation (in response) to the Oprah interview and possibly address some of these issues point by point," said Katie Nicholl.
As
reported by the
Daily Mail
, Prince William is also said to have been on board.
"I think Prince Charles and Prince William were keen to correct some of the things the couple said," added Nicholl.
Ultimately, however, the palace decided against it in order not to give "more ammunition".
An insider in
People
magazine
only revealed that the British heir to the throne was "seriously disappointed" and that he was particularly hit by the allegations of racism.

Meghan's pal Gayle King has since revealed that although Harry is said to have spoken to Charles and William for the first time since the interview aired, the conversations would have been "unproductive."
