Prince William has defended the UK royal family against the
recent racism allegations by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex had sparked global outrage when she
claimed that members of the royal family mulled about not naming Archie, her
son, a prince over his skin colour.
Meghan had brought the revelation to light during an
explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“When I was pregnant… we have in tandem the conversation of ‘he won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” she had said.
But according to BBC, Williams stated that the royals are
“very much not a racist family.”
The Duke of Cambridge was speaking on the matter for the
first time on Thursday during a visit to an east London school.
When asked if he had spoken to his brother yet, Prince
William replied: “I haven’t spoken to him yet but I plan to.”
On Tuesday, Buckingham Palace had expressed concerns over
the allegations raised by the couple, adding that it would be addressed
“privately.”
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are
concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously
and will be addressed by the family privately,” the statement, issued on behalf
of Queen Elizabeth II, read.
In the now-viral interview, Meghan had failed to mention the
royal who had the conversation about Archie’s skin colour with Harry.
On his part, the Duke of Sussex, while confirming what his
wife said, however, clarified to Oprah that the comments were not made by
either Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
