Meghan Markle All Smiles In First Sighting Since Kate Middleton, King Charles Were Named Royal Racists
Meghan Markle has been spotted for the first time since Dutch copies of a new biography named the "royal racists" who allegedly made troubling remarks about her son.
On Monday, Markle was spotted in Santa Barbara, California, near her home with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, donned a casual look with black leggings, a long-sleeved T-shirt, a green baseball cap and a pair of New Balance 327 sneakers, as seen in photos and a video published by the Daily Mail.
She accessorized with Krewe sunglasses and a diamond tennis bracelet, reportedly a gift from her father-in-law, King Charles, People reported.
Markle first wore the diamond tennis bracelet before her and Harry's nuptials in May 2018, sparking speculation that it was a wedding present.
The former "Suits" star and Prince Harry, 39, have not publicly commented on Omid Scobie's book "Endgame" since it was released last month.
The Dutch version of the book reportedly implicated King Charles and Kate Middleton in alleged remarks about the skin color of the Sussexes' then-unborn son, Archie, according to The Times UK.
Markle first alleged that there were "concerns and conversations about how dark [Archie's] skin might be when he's born" during her sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
At the time, she and Prince Harry said that neither Queen Elizabeth II nor Prince Philip were involved in the alleged conversations but refused to name the royals who allegedly made the remarks.
Scobie and publishers of his book have since called the inclusion of King Charles and Middleton's names in the Dutch version of "Endgame" an "error."
The royal author also denied naming the royals in his manuscript.
According to People, Buckingham Palace has hinted at possible legal action over the assertions. Middleton and Kensington Palace have not publicly addressed the controversy.
Scobie's book explores the current state of the British monarchy.
Among the claims the royal correspondent made in the tome was the lack of communication between Markle and Princess Kate in the past four years.
It also claimed that Middleton's friendship with Prince Harry has broken down since the Sussexes' royal departure in 2020.
In a recent interview with The Times, Scobie clarified that he did not interview Meghan for the book, asserting he was not her friend.
