Queen Charlotte fans think Meghan race row referenced in Netflix …
Fans of Netflix's Bridgerton spin-off series Queen Charlotte reckon they've spotted a reference to the "skin colour remark" Meghan Markle claimed had been made about her son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. The Duchess of Sussex spoke about the alleged comment, without naming which member of the Royal Family had said it, during a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. And the remark was seemingly referenced in Netflix's Queen Charlotte, with fans of the Bridgerton spin-off claiming to have spotted a sly jibe at the royals.
