Said William, “We know that for Irish people all around the world, today won’t be the same as normal. We hope you can celebrate safely, in any case,” before the couple wished, “Happy St. Patrick’s Day,” together.

The video message for the holiday comes one week after William spoke out after his brotherPrince Harryand sister-in-lawMeghan Markle’s interview withOprah Winfrey, in which they alleged to have faced racism in the royal family.
The Duke of Cambridge told a Sky News reporter last Thursday, “We arevery much not a racist family,” as he and Kate stepped out for the first time since the interview. When asked if he had spoken to Harry since the interview aired, he added, “No, I haven’t spoken to him yet, but I will do.”
On Tuesday, Gayle King, who is friends with Oprah and Meghan, revealed onCBS This MorningthatHarry spoke with William and the men’s father Prince Charlesover the weekend.

“Well, I’m not trying to break news, but I did actually call them to see how they were feeling, and it’s true, Harry has talked to his brother and he has talked to his father too,” King said. “The word I was given was that those conversations were not productive. But they are glad that they have at least started a conversation.”
“And I think what is still upsetting to them is the palace keep saying they want to work it out privately, but yet, they believe these false stories are coming out that are very disparaging against Meghan, still,” King said, adding that “no one in the royal family has talked to Meghan yet, at this particular time.”
