Chris Rock, the comedian, chastised Meghan Markle in his new stand-up special on Saturday night for her now-infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey.

During the interview, Markle, 41, expressed her feelings of isolation from the rest of the royal family, claiming they were racist toward her and even sharing a story about how one senior member of the family questioned how dark-skinned her baby would be.
Rock, however, slammed the Duchess of Sussex for her claims of racism in his live stand-up show, Selective Outrage, saying she was instead dealing with internal family drama and that she had won the ‘light-skinned lottery.’
He also claimed that ‘even black people are curious about how brown’ her child would be.

When he mentioned Markle during his two-and-a-half hour stand-up special, Rock went on a rant about people who try to portray themselves as victims.
‘Like, who exactly is Meghan Markle? ‘She appears to be a nice lady who is just complaining,’ he began. ‘Like, didn’t she win the lottery for fair skin?’
Rock then took aim at remarks she made in an interview with Oprah last year.
“They’re so racist, they’re so racist,” Rock sarcastically remarked.
Sometimes it’s just some in-law nonsense because she’s whining, and I’m like, “What the f*** is she talking about?”

“They’re so racist, Oprah, they wanted to know how brown the baby was going to be,” he mocked Markle once more. ‘ “That’s not racist,” I say, “because even black people want to know how brown the baby will be.”
‘S*** we check behind the ears – that’s a scientific test because you have to know what kind of black child you’re going to get,’ he joked, comparing black skin to NBA stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
‘I know what she’s going through, I know what Meghan Markle is going through,’ he insisted.
