The dramatic U-turn from the originally announced in-house inquiry comes after Meghan and Harry’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The couple has found themselves at the centre of a historic race row with the British monarchy, after Meghan claimed members of the Royals had concerns about “how dark” her son Archie’s skin might be, when she was pregnant.
However, it has emerged that Prince Harry and William have finally “been in contact” amid the Oprah fall out after it was reported they had not spoken for months.
