Angry Prince William breaks his silence: 'We're very much not a racist family'

An impassioned Prince William today publicly hit back against Harry and Meghan's racism claims, insisting, 'We're very much not a racist family'.

The Duke of Cambridge is the first royal to personally respond to the allegation during his first royal engagement since the Oprah interview, as he also revealed that he has not spoken to his brother since it came out but 'will do'. Meghan's claim that an unnamed royal raised concerns about Archie being 'too brown' was the most damaging allegation to come out of the broadcast, and caused untold damage to the Windsors' reputation around the world. 

Today was also the first engagement for Kate since she was accused by Meghan of making her cry in the bombshell tell-all chat. During the Oprah interview, Meghan also revealed details about their strained relationship, saying of pictures of them laughing at Wimbledon, 'Nothing is what it looks like', and said Kate being called 'waity Katie' in the press couldn't compare to the alleged racism she faced. Meanwhile, Harry revealed how he was 'on different paths' to William and spoke about his brother was 'trapped' in the Royal Family. 

William, who was visiting School2 in east London to promote a children's mental health programme, defended his family's reputation after being asked by Sky News reporter Inzamam Rashid, 'Is the Royal Family a racist family?' 

And when questioned whether he had spoken to his brother since Sunday's broadcast, the Duke of Cambridge said: 'No, I haven't spoken to him yet but I will do.'
