Tometi spoke to TMZ after she heard Meghan's tell-all interview sessions with Oprah Winfrey and says people should no longer stand with the monarchy or the royals.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had admitted to Winfrey that at least one member of the monarchy had wanted to discriminate against their son, Archie, due to his skin colour, and Tometi sees this as proof that the royals do not value black lives.
