According to the Guardian on the 11th (local time), Prince William visited his wife Kate Middleton to a school in the Stratford area in eastern London, and was asked by a reporter, “Is the royal family a racist?” “My family is not racist,” said William. “We haven’t talked to each other yet, but we are going to talk to my brother Prince Harry.”
Earlier, the Harry-Markle couple exposed’the issue of racism in the British royal family’ in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired on CBS in the United States on the 7th. In particular, Markle’s claim that “when a son Archie was born between the two, the royal people didn’t want to make his son a prince because he feared that his son’s skin would be dark,” Markle’s assertion made great waves.
The Harry-Markle couple didn’t reveal who they were who were concerned about their son’s skin color. On the 9th, about 40 hours after the interview, as demands for clarification increased, the British royal family issued an official statement on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II.
In a three-sentence statement, the royal family said, “We take race-related issues seriously,” and that “the family will take care of them privately.”
