Meghan, who is biracial, said an unidentified member of the royal family had raised “concerns” about the color of her baby’s skin before she gave birth to her first child. The couple also alleged that Meghan was the victim of callous treatment during her time as a working member of the royal family.
The palace responded at the time by saying the allegations about race were “particularly concerning” and would be “addressed by the family privately.” But critics called the 61-word statement made on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II “too little, too late.”
Prince William, Harry’s older brother, was forced to respond after reporters shouted at him demanding comment during a visit to an East London school.
“We’re very much not a racist family,” William said as his wife, Kate, walked by his side.
The figures on ethnic minorities were released along with data on employment at the palace. As of March 31, public money paid the salaries of 556 crown employees, down from 580 a year earlier. While the total staff was equally split along gender lines, men dominated the senior ranks. Of 34 senior employees, 25 were men.
The figures were part of the annual report and accounts for the Sovereign Grant, the public financing mechanism that funds the public activities of the queen and her family.
