Vicky Ford, the UK Minister for Children, said Monday there was no place for racism in society, after Meghan and Harry raised the issue during a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

"I haven't seen the full interview so I will not comment on it, but just to reaffirm, there is absolutely no place for racism in our society. And we all need to work together to make sure that doesn't happen," Ford told British broadcaster Sky News Monday.

During the interview, Meghan revealed their son Archie wouldn't receive a title or security, and within the royal family, there were several "concerns and conversations about how dark (Archie's) skin might be when he was born."
