Prince Charles denies claim he made comments about Archie’s skin tone

"This is fiction," a spokesperson from Prince Charles's office says of an allegation that the prince speculated on the skin colour of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children.
Prince Charles is rejecting claims he was the royal family member who made remarks about the complexion of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s future children.
A new book, Brothers And Wives: Inside The Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan, by Christopher Andersen, alleges it was the Prince of Wales who questioned what skin colour Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s future children would have.
Andersen, a U.S. journalist and former editor of People magazine, claims the comments came on the day that Harry and Markle’s engagement was announced, in November 2017.
“I wonder what the children will look like?” Andersen writes, identifying Prince Charles as the speaker.
“Well, absolutely gorgeous, I’m certain,” the book claims his wife, Camilla, said. The alleged response was: “I mean, what do you think their children’s complexion might be?”
On Monday, a spokesperson from Charles’ office dismissed the allegation as “fiction.”
“This is fiction and not worth further comment,” the Clarence House spokesman told reporters in Barbados, where Charles is to take part in celebrations marking the island’s move to becoming a republic.
The deaths may mark the start of a heavier-handed response by Iran’s theocracy over the demonstrations, which have slowed in the capital, Tehran, but expanded elsewhere.
Dozens of people are presumed dead and about 100 injured, most of them seriously, following a fire at a bar in a Swiss Alps resort town during a New Year’s celebration.
The historic milestone arrives amid political instability and skepticism among ordinary people fueled by fears of prices rising in the eastern European country.
