Kate Middleton and King Charles stepped out for the first time after they were accused of questioning Archie’s skin color.
Prince William, 41, and Kate Middleton, 41 were all smiles while making an appearance on Thursday. The couple posed for photos with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, during a gathering at Windsor Castle in England.
This is their first appearance after Wednesday’s episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” in which the British broadcaster revealed the names of the two royals who allegedly voiced “concerns” about the skin color of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie, before the baby was born.
Meghan Markle, 42, first claimed that a senior member of the royal family had expressed “concerns” about her son’s skin color during her March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. At the time, the former “Suits” star did not name names.
“[They asked about] how dark your baby is going to be?” Winfrey asked, prompting Markle to reply, “Potentially, and what that would mean or look like.”
The names were accidentally mentioned in Dutch copies of Omid Scobie’s new biography, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.”
The book is being temporarily pulled from shelves in the Netherlands, to edit that reference.
According to Morgan, the names of the family members King Charles III and Princess Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, Harry’s older brother.
Middleton, 41, didn’t seem to be squirming after landing in hot water. She smiled in a forest green dress and matching heels, while William, also 41, looked cheerful in a suit.
Speaking to ITV’s This Morning on Thursday, Scobie said that he had “never submitted a book that had their names in it”, and could only talk about the English version that he wrote.
He said, “I am as frustrated as everyone else. The reality is, though, that this is information that is not privy just to me. Journalists across Fleet Street have known those names for a long time. We’ve all followed a sort of code of conduct when it comes to talking about it.”
King Charles was reportedly asked how is he following Morgan’s claims, and the monarch apparently replied, “alright.”
