So I just watched the interview- and am really confused . I thought it wouldn’t change my opinion. It did. It changed my whole view of royalty.
What shook me was the conversation about Archie’s skin color. I’d love to know who made that comment.
Through the years, I’ve known a lot of wonderful people and friends who support the British Royal Family. I know in my heart that these supporters are not racist- against anyone- black, pink, purple. So I’m confused.
I believe the Queen is not racist. I’m really confused.
Of course not every supporter of the monarchy (which is currently the majority of the UK) is racist!
The Queen herself has had 95 years in the public eye and has never proven herself to be racist. Literally yesterday she was publicly championing the work of the Commonwealth and embracing diversity and unity. The Commonwealth is majority people of colour.
Charles has never had a problem meeting people from a diverse range of backgrounds and has spoken about wanting to be "Defender of Faith" not "Defender of THE Faith".
We don't know who is supposed to have made the remark about the baby's skin tone, Meghan and Harry can't even agree on when it was said and Meghan only heard in 2nd hand anyway. We have no context for it - we don't even know if the person who said it was being malicious, ignorant, worried or curious. They've just thrown that out there and refused to comment further except to say it wasn't HM or PP. It's unfair because it's a shadow over everyone. If you really think it was malicious racism you should call it out and let the person defend themselves or acknowledge that they were ignorant and are very sorry.
There are a lot of things in this interview that are out of context and need to be/have been fact checked. Like most of the things to do with Archie have been proven incorrect.
