Defending the family
Prince William felt compelled to defend his family when Harry and Meghan gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey and alleged a member of the Royal Family had been concerned about the colour of Archie’s skin. During a royal engagement, the Duke of Cambridge told media: “We are very much not a racist family.”
Extending an olive branch
Kate was praised after she was seen approaching Prince Harry at Prince Philip’s funeral, apparently breaking the ice between the two brothers and paving the way for conversation amid the awkwardness of Harry seeing the family for the first time after the Duke of Edinburgh’s death.
