Prince William has publicly hit back against his brother Prince Harry and Meghan Markle\’s claim of racism in the royal family.
Â
The Duke of Cambridge is the first royal to personally respond to the allegation.
Â
During his first royal engagement since the Oprah interview, William was asked about the allegation of racism and he denied it.
Â
William was visiting School2 in east London today, March 11, to promote a children\’s mental health programme, when he was asked by Sky News reporter Inzamam Rashid, \”Is the Royal Family a racist family?\”
Â
\”We\’re very much not a racist family,\” Prince William replied.
Â
Â
He also revealed that he has not spoken to his brother yet since the interview aired.
Â
Prince William said: \”No, I haven\’t spoken to him yet but I will do.\”Â
Â
Â
Meghan claimed during the interview, which aired on March 7, that a senior royal raised concerns about Archie\’s skin tone and if he might be \”too brown\” while she was still pregnant with him.
Â
The Cambridges are said to be deeply upset by the way they were attacked by the Sussexes, with Meghan accusing Kate of making her cry during a bridesmaid dress fitting ahead of her 2020 royal wedding.
