Harry noted that he didn’t plan to out the person who allegedly posed the question to him and wife Meghan Markle, adding, “And I will never talk. I mean what happened to Ngozi Fulani is a very good example of the environment within the institution, and why after our [March 2021 tell-all] interview, they said that they were gonna bring in a diversity tsar.
