In his latest Netflix special, Chris Rock criticized Meghan Markle for accusing the Royal Family of racism. The comedian took a swipe at Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which she called out the family for allegedly asking how dark-skinned her son was at birth.
Rock claimed that the statement was not racist because “even black people” were wondering the same thing at the time. The royal couple has not had it easy lately, as they were recently mocked on TV. An episode of the Comedy Central animation “South Park” called her and her husband out, criticizing their request for privacy.

Rock called out the 41-year-old on his nearly three-hour special for telling Oprah Winfrey in 2022 how bad the royals made him feel. Meghan claimed that the family was so racist towards her that a senior member asked how dark her baby would come out when she was pregnant with Archie.
However, Rock claimed that the Duchess was overreacting, because “even black people want to know how brown the baby is.”
Meghan’s name came up during the special when Rock criticized people who always try to be victims. Calling out the “Suits” star, she said, “Like, who is this Meghan Markle girl? Seems like a nice lady, just sighing.” He added per Daily Mail“Like he didn’t win the fair-skinned lottery?”
Rock then referred to some of the comments Meghan made during Winfrey’s interview and claimed that she had no real problem. “They’re so racist, they’re so racist,” he said, mocking her. The comedian stated that what he was complaining about was the usual “son-in-law sh*t” and nothing more.

While he doesn’t agree with Meghan’s belief that the royal family is racist towards her, Rock says he understands what she’s going through. He said, “I know what she’s going through, I know what Meghan Markle is going through.”
The comedian admits that the struggle is real, because it is difficult for someone with African-American roots to be accepted by their “white in-laws”. He stated, “Oh it’s hard. It is very difficult, it is very difficult. But it’s not as difficult as the white girl trying to be accepted by her black in-laws. Now that damn thing is so hard.”
However, the “Spiral” actress ended Meghan and Harry’s meal by joking that the Duchess should have married into a more accommodating family, like the Kardashians. “Meghan Markle, I know the dilemma. I was like, ‘If you’re black and you want to be accepted by your white in-laws then you have to marry a Kardashian because they accept everyone.’”
