Prince William said on Thursday that the British Royal Family “is not racist” after his brother Enrique denounced conversations about the skin color his children would have with Meghan Markle, an American with a black mother and a white father.
“We’re not a racist family at all,” said William, 38, second in line to the British throne, on a visit to a school in a multi-racial East London neighborhood.
Harry and Meghan explained their estrangement from the British Royal Family and their exile to California in an explosive television interview broadcast in the United States on Sunday.
The former actress, 39, and her husband, 36, sixth in line to succession to the throne, claimed the untenable media pressure, the racism Y the lack of support from the royal family as a reason for his departure from the monarchy
‘We are not a racist family at all’
But most of all, what left star interviewer Oprah Winfrey speechless was when the couple claimed that an unidentified member of the royal family had conversations with Harry about the skin color their kids are said to have, given that Meghan is mixed.
These damaging allegations have sparked a heated debate about the UK’s colonial past and racism, started a year ago by the protests of the movement Black Lives Matter
94-year-old Queen Elizabeth II replied on Tuesday that “the whole family is sad to hear how difficult the past years have been for Harry and Meghan.”
The monarch also assured that she took allegations of racism “very seriously” and promised that they would be treated “privately by the family,” but made it clear that “memories may vary” depending on the person.
This careful choice of words “suggests that the family disagrees with everything the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have said,” stressed the conservative paper. The Daily Telegraph
