The Duchess of Sussex has claimed that they left the Royal Family back due to the unwanted attention from the media and the racist treatment towards her. She opened up about it during the Oprah interview.
Now, Chris Rock claims that she did not go through racism, she was dealing with some “in-law s***.” He started with, “Like who is this girl Meghan Markle? Seems like a nice lady – just complaining. Like didn’t she hit the light-skinned lottery?”.
Then, he roasted her reactions during the Oprah interview in 2021. Chris said, “You didn’t google these motherfuckers? What the f*** is she talking about she didn’t know? It’s the royal family. They’re the original racists. They invented colonialism. They are the OG’s of racism. They’re the Sugarhill Gang of racism.”

The Comedian Admits Knowing About Her Dilemma
