Meghan Markle was reportedly 'not satisfied' with the Royal Family response to racism concerns.
It comes after the Duchess of Sussex is understood to have sent official correspondence in the wake of the couple's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The interview saw Prince Harry and his wife sit down for their first major interview since quitting as working royals with one of the biggest talking points when they revealed a senior royal questioned the colour of their unborn son’s skin.
The couple sent shockwaves through the British monarchy when they spoke of their disgust at "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born".
The King is believed to be the only senior member of the family that made contact with Meghan following the interview - with Meghan thanking him for his response.
