“Not a racist family”: Prince William responds to Meghan and Harry interview

Prince William said on Thursday that Britain's royals were not racist after Meghan Markle, wife of his younger brother Prince Harry, said one unnamed member of the family had asked how dark their son Archie's skin might be.

Markle made the comment during an explosive tell-all interview that she and Harry gave to Oprah Winfrey, plunging the British monarchy into its biggest crisis since the 1997 death of Princess Diana, William and Harry's mother.

On a visit to a school in east London, William said 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," William said.

Asked by a reporter if the royal family was racist, William said, "We're very much not a racist family."

In the two-hour show, Markle also said the royals had ignored her pleas for help while she felt suicidal, while Harry said his father, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, had let him down and that he had felt trapped.
