When King Charles and Meghan Markle first met, he was not aware of her race

• King Charles didn’t know Meghan Markle was mixed-race when he first met her
• Duchess of Sussex allegedly experienced prejudice in the royal family
• King Charles III thought that Meghan Markle was “absolutely delightful”

According to a book, King Charles didn’t know Meghan Markle was mixed-race when he first met her as Prince Harry’s future wife.

In “The King: The Life of Charles III,” a book by author Christopher Andersen, Meghan Markle’s first interaction with the royal family is detailed. According to the author, Meghan Markle was first introduced to Charles and Camilla in 2016, during Prince Harry’s trip to Botswana. Then it was said that when Charles saw Meghan Markle, he was reminded of Pippa Middleton.

“At the time, Prince Charles had no idea that Harry’s new girlfriend was biracial. Not that it would have mattered at all, of course,” King Charles allegedly said to a friend then.

“But no, I didn’t realize that until later,” he had said according to Christopher Andersen. The author also claimed that King Charles III thought that Meghan Markle was “absolutely delightful” and “completely charming.”

The Duchess of Sussex allegedly experienced prejudice in the royal family, according to earlier claims made by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The author wrote, “For her part, the Queen, who experienced countless up-close-and-personal encounters with people of all races, ethnicities, and religions during her record-breaking reign, appeared utterly devoid of prejudice,”

“Not once had she ever been heard to make a racially insensitive comment. The same could not be said for Charles, although his gaffes were rare – like the time he told a writer of Guyanese descent that she didn’t ‘look like’ she was born in the British city of Manchester, presumably because she was black and wore dreadlocks,” The author continued.
