Prince William on Thursday, March 11 denied claims of racism in the royal family which were exposed by Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle in an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday, March 7.
Meghan had accused the UK Royals of refusing to make her son Archie a prince partly due to conversations on how his skin color was.
Her confessions threw the British monarchy into the biggest crisis since the 1997 death of Princess Diana, William and Harry’s mother.
On a visit to a school in east London, William stated that he had not talked to Harry since the interview was broadcast just over three days ago.
“I haven’t spoken to him yet but I will do. We’re very much not a racist family.” the 38-year-old Prince told reporters.
Megha recalled in the two-hour interview of her journey through rejection at the hands of the British royals by ignored her pleas for help while she felt suicidal.
Harry, on the other hand, noted that his father, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, had let him down and that he had felt trapped.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement on Tuesday, March 9 on behalf of Queen Elizabeth, the princes’ grandmother, in which she said the family was saddened by how challenging the couple had found the last few years.
The statement added the issues of race were of grave concern, thus would be treated very seriously, but stated: “some recollections may vary”.
The Palace added that it was a family matter that should be dealt with privately.
During the interview, Harry divulged how distant he had come from the other members of his family, saying his father had stopped taking his calls at one point, and saying there was “space” in his relationship with William.
“Much will continue to be said about that… as I said before, you know, I love William to bits, he’s my brother, we’ve been through hell together and we have a shared experience,” he said. “But we’re on different paths.”
The interview was watched by 12.4 million viewers in Britain and millions more across the world.
