The royal family can’t keep ignoring its colonialist past and racist present – The Conversation AU
Concerns raised by the Sussexes about racism within the royal family point to a larger issue. The Windsors are entangled in a history of colonialism and racism.
The most explosive element of the Sussexes highly anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey was the claim that someone within the royal household had concerns over how dark-skinned the couples son Archie might be.
While Winfrey later clarified neither the Queen nor the Duke of Edinburgh were behind the remark, Meghan also suggested their son was denied the title of prince because of his mixed race.
The interview points to a larger issue of racism in the British monarchy, both contemporary and historical.
