‘Trying To Be A Victim’: Chris Rock Mocks Meghan Markle’s Racism Claims In Standup Special

In his recent standup special on Netflix, comedian Chris Rock slammed Meghan Markle for her accusations of racism against the British Royal Family, saying her troubles with her in-laws weren’t necessarily racially-motivated.

Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry sat down with Oprah in 2021 for an interview in which she dropped bombshell accusations of racism against the British Royal Family. In the interview, Markle claimed that the Royal Family mistreated her and one family member openly speculated on the color of her baby.

In his two-and-a-half hour Netflix standup special, Selective Outrage, Chris Rock dismissed the idea that the Royal Family’s alleged mistreatment of Markle was motivated by anti-black racial animus. He also claimed that Markle was the beneficiary of the “light-skinned lottery” and that noted that she’s always “complaining.”
