The alleged racist senior royal was sensationally named in a 2021 letter from Meghan Markle to King Charles III.

Just days after it was announced that Markle would skip Charles’ coronation on May 6, it was reported that she had expressed her concerns about “unconscious bias” in the royal family in a letter to the King, the Telegraph reported Friday.

A source confirmed to Pvnew: “Yes, there was correspondence, there were letters back and forth from the Duchess of Sussex to the king.”

“But she’s moved on, this was two years ago, it has nothing to do with her decision not to attend the coronation,” the source stressed.

The report is bound to be hugely embarrassing, however, for the royal family as Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla prepare to be crowned in front of a global audience.

According to the outlet, the notes were sent following the March 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, in which Markle, 41, alleged that a member of the Royal family had speculated about the color of her unborn son’s skin.

Pvnew understands that the letters identify the name of a senior member of the royal family who allegedly made the comment. At the time of the interview, palace insiders briefed that it was neither Queen Elizabeth II nor Prince Phillip.

Christopher Andersen’s book “Brothers And Wives: Inside The Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan” did, in fact, name Charles as the one who questioned Archie’s skin tone, but this has never been proven.

The Telegraph was told that both Charles and Markle “acknowledged that the individual’s remark was not made with malice.” However, the publication added: “The Palace is also aware of the Sussexes’ frustration that initial email correspondence about the Coronation made no reference to their children and their potential involvement. The omission only fuelled their feeling that their family plays second fiddle to the Waleses.”

During the Oprah interview, Markle alleged that “several conversations” had taken place between the unnamed member of the royal family and the Duke about what their unborn son would look like.

She said it was “safe” to assume there were concerns about his skin tone, but the former actress declined to name the person involved, saying: “I think that would be very damaging to them.”

When asked about the matter, her husband, Prince Harry, declined to speak further but suggested that it was just a single conversation that had taken place.

“It was awkward. I was a bit shocked,” he admitted.

Charles was said to be surprised by the claims, while Harry’s brother, Prince William, blasted: “We are very much not a racist family.”

In 2021, the writers of “Finding Freedom” alleged the Sussexes had pondered naming the alleged racist royal on TV, but thought it would be too damaging.

While promoting his book, “Spare,” Harry, 38, said he never accused the royal family of racism, but said they are guilty of “unconscious bias.”

Additionally, the Telegraph reported that Markle still feels that concerns she had while living behind palace walls — that led her to feel suicidal — have still not been resolved.

A spokesperson for Markle tells Pvnew Saturday, “The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago.

“Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous. We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating.”
