Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were allegedly feeling vindicated by the recent racism scandal that plagued the royal family. However, it didn't bode well for the senior members of the royal family.
What's Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's Reaction To The Recent Racism Scandal Against Royal Family?
Last week, domestic abuse activist Ngozi Fulani took to Twitter and shared the alleged racist treatment she received from Lady Susan Hussey. Following the controversy, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who made racist allegations against one member of the royal family, were reportedly vindicated. The royal couple based in Los Angeles was reportedly having a case of "I told you so," Radar Online reported.
"Harry and Meghan feel vindicated that racism is being exposed and think it's a good thing that Ngozi Fulani outed Lady Hussey," an anonymous palace insider told the outlet. "Harry couldn't stand this woman!"
How Did The Racism Scandal Affect The Royal Family?
King Charles and his staff were reportedly scrambling to manage the crisis. They were allegedly desperate to prove that the monarchy is not racist following the allegations from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
During the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, they claimed that a member of the royal family raised concern over their unborn child's skin color. The revelation prompted many netizens to call out the palace for being racist.
Prince Harry and Markle refused to name the alleged racist royal because it could damage them, according to the royal couple. However, Prince Harry clarified that the royal in question is neither his grandmother Queen Elizabeth nor his grandfather, Prince Philip.

"Charles and Camilla had been working closely with William and Kate to champion diversity and inclusion," the tipster added. "Fulani's claim has taken them back to square one."
Prince William and Kate Middleton released a statement expressing their disappointment following the incident.
"I was really disappointed to hear about the guest's experience. Racism has no place in our society. These comments were unacceptable and it's right that the individual has stepped aside with immediate effect," the Prince and Princess of Wales said in a statement.
