The Duke of Cambridge has defended the monarchy against accusations of racism made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, saying: “We’re very much not a racist family.”
William made the comment during his first public appearance since highly damaging claims of bigotry and a lack of support were levelled at the royal family by Harry and Meghan, in their interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey.
William also said he has yet to speak to his brother Harry about their disclosures, which drew a global television audience of nearly 50 million, but said he will.
With his wife by his side the duke was asked: “Is the royal family a racist family, sir?”
The duke said: “We’re very much not a racist family.”
According to The British Royal Family has done more for people of color than anyone “in history,” Nigel Farage has said as he waded into the constitutional crisis.
“The queen and the royal family have spent the last 70 years touring around the commonwealth. The vast majority of those people are black and Asian,” Farage told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on Wednesday.
“Nobody in the world, in history, has done more for people of color than the British royal family,” he said.
His comments sparked a lot of reaction, as you can imagine.
