Queen warned meghan claims 'one more chink in armour'

The Queen, 94, said in a statement that the issues raised, including race, would be "addressed by the family privately". Meghan Markle and Prince Harry accused an unnamed royal,

not the Queen or the Duke of Edinburgh, of raising concerns about how dark their son Archie's skin tone would be, before he was born. Royal expert Patricia Treble has warned the

Commonwealth could be in trouble following the debate the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sparked about the Royal Family. Speaking to CTV News, Ms Treble said: "Certainly the younger people,

everyone who saw that interview couldn't help but be sympathetic to that couple. "When they talked about what they went through, one couldn't help but feel the Royal Family

didn't do all they should have done for them. "How it translates down the pike into a change in the monarchy in Canada, that I'm not so sure. "As everyone knows it's

a complicated issue but I think this could be one more chink in the armour." READ MORE: US COMMENTATOR REVEALS DISCREPANCY IN MEGHAN MARKLE INTERVIEW It comes as former Australian

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called for a referendum on the monarchy. He told ABC TV on Tuesday that the country's head of state should be an Australian citizen, not the king or

queen of the UK. He added: "It's clearly an unhappy family, or at least Meghan and Harry are unhappy. It seems very sad." Mr Turnbull said that the Queen had been an

"extraordinary" head of state, and added: "I think, frankly, in Australia, there are more Elizabethans than there are monarchists. "Now, it's not about how the

monarchy defends itself against the claim, if it chooses to do so at all, but what it does to recover from it." New Zealand's prime minister Jacinda Ardern said she had not sensed

an appetite for "significant change" to the country's constitutional arrangements. When asked if the picture painted of the royal family in the interview had given her pause,

she said: "I've said before that, you know, I've not sensed an appetite from New Zealanders for significant change in our constitutional arrangements, and I don't expect

that that's likely to change quickly from New Zealanders." In the US, White House press secretary Jen Psaki praised Harry and Meghan's courage when asked if US president Joe

Biden had watched the interview. Ms Psaki told journalists: "For anyone to come forward and speak about their own struggles with mental health and tell their own personal story, that

takes courage. "That's certainly something the president believes."
