It said the claim, which it described as"the most shocking disclosure","threatened to have a devastating effect on the reputation of the monarchy".Writing in a comment piece for the US magazine Harper's Bazaar in March 2021, she claimed that racism had become"so normalised" in the UK that"white people are able ignore what is blatantly racist in front of them".
"People will watch the Oprah interview, listen to concerns a member of the royal family had over the colour of Archie's skin, and still deny that it's racism," she wrote at the time.
