Prince William has spoken out in defence of the British royal family after his brother Prince Harry and her wife made bombshell revelations regarding The Firm.
“We are very much not a racist family,” he said after a question from Sky News as he visited a school in east London with his wife.
William went on to say: “I haven’t spoken to him yet but I will do.”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were seen in public for the first time together since Harry and Meghan’s sensational tell-all interview with Oprah aired.
The pair visited a Stratford school during the rollout of a mental health program for children on Thursday.
The couple donned face masks as they travelled in a Range Rover driven by protection officers to School21.
William’s biting remarks come days after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview, in which the couple made a number of explosive claims about their family and The Firm.
During the interview, they also mentioned that an unnamed royal made comments about what colour Archie’s skin might be before he was born.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement after the tell-all Oprah chat: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
Prince Harry told Oprah that he was “part of the system” with the royals.
However he went on to say that he believes Prince William and his father Prince Charles are “trapped”.
“My father and my brother, they are trapped. They don’t get to leave,” Harry said.
“And I have huge compassion for that.
“My brother can’t leave that system, but I have.”
