Gayle added, “I think it is frustrating for them that it is a racial conversation about the royal family, when all they wanted all along was for the royals to intervene and tell the press to stop with the unfair, inaccurate, false stories that definitely have a racial slant. Until you can acknowledge that, it is going to be hard to move forward.”
She did confirm, however, “They both want to move forward with this and they want healing in this family. At the end of the day, that is Harry’s family.”
