'We're very much not a racist family,' Prince William

Prince William addressing claims that suggests the royal family is racist

Following the Oprah interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William has said that the royals are "very much not a racist family".

Prince William disclosed this information during a visit to East London while also mentioning that he is yet to speak to his brother n the issue but plans on it.

Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday the claim a Royal Family member questioned the Sussexes' unborn baby's skin colour was "concerning".

The matter will be addressed privately.

In a statement, the Palace said "recollections may vary" but that the Sussexes would "always be much loved family members".

In the TV interview, Meghan told Oprah Winfrey that Prince Harry had been asked by an unnamed family member "how dark" their son Archie's skin might be.

Prince Harry later clarified to Oprah that the comments were not made by either the Queen or the Duke of Edinburgh.

As he departed a school in Stratford alongside his wife the Duchess of Cambridge on Thursday, Prince William was asked by a reporter: "Is the royal family a racist family, sir?"
