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.

And now fans think that concerns surrounding skin colour in the Royal Family have been illustrated in the new Bridgerton spin-off. Taking to Twitter to share stills from the series, one fan penned: "Queen Charlotte. The Meghan Markle / Archie 'what colour will the baby be; reference in this scene has me deceased.

Shonda said, 'The Crown won't cover it, but I will'." The stills that accompanied the tweet read: "[Queen Mother]: She is very brown," to which someone replied: "I did say she had Moor blood, ma'am." Replying, the Queen Mother added: "You did not say that she would be that brown."
