TIL Desk/World/London/ In the first direct reaction to the explosive interview by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Prince William said Britain’s royal family is “very much not racist” during an official visit to a school in East London on Thursday. William, the Duke of Cambridge, also revealed that he had not spoken to his younger brother Harry since the interview was first broadcast over the weekend but plans to do so.
The 38-year-old second in line to the British throne was joined by wife Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, when he was asked by reporters about the controversy that has dominated UK media headlines ever since Harry and Meghan revealed that an unnamed royal had raised concerns about their mixed-race son Archie’s skin colour.”We are very much not a racist family,” said Prince William.
Asked further if he had spoken to his brother yet, he replied: “I haven’t spoken to him yet, but I plan to.” The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited School 21 in Stratford, East London, to mark children’s return to classes and the rollout to secondary schools of a mental health project for pupils, which Kate Middleton had launched in primary schools in 2018.
