He added she “seems like a nice lady – just complaining. Like, didn’t she hit the light-skinned lottery? And she’s still going off complaining?”Rock then brought up Markle’s 2021 interview with Oprah, during which she and her husband, Prince Harry described how someone within the household at Buckingham Palace had asked about how dark the skin tone of their baby son Archie would be.He said Markle was “acting all dumb like she didn’t know nothing.

Going on Oprah, saying ‘I had no idea how racist they were’. That’s the Royal Family, you didn’t Google those motherfuckers?

They’re the original racists. They invented colonialism.”“They invested in slavery like it was Shark Tank,” he added.A post shared by Netflix Comedy (@netflixisajoke)Rock continued: “Some of that shit she went through was not racism.
