Prince Harry recently addressed the couple’s Oprah interview and gave more insight into their collective thoughts about unconscious bias. In an interview promoting his book, Spare, with ITV’s Tom Bradby that aired in January, Harry was asked about the couple’s sit-down with Oprah. During the revealing chat, Meghan claimed that there were “concerns and conversations about how dark [Archie’s] skin might be when he’s born.”
Following the Oprah interview, Prince William was asked point-blank by a reporter to comment on the claims, to which he replied: “We are very much not a racist family.” In the interview, Bradby pressed the topic, telling Harry: “In the Oprah interview, you accuse members of your family of racism…”
“The difference between racism and unconscious bias… the two things are different,” Harry continued. “Once it’s been acknowledged or pointed out to you as an individual, otherwise an institution, that you have unconscious bias, you, therefore, have an opportunity to learn and grow from that… otherwise, unconscious bias then moves into the category of racism,” he said.
