This comes as data released last month shows just one in 12 royal household staff are from ethnic minority backgrounds. In their televised interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made allegations of racism against the royal family. Meghan claimed there had been "concerns and conversations" within the royal household around the colour of Archie's skin when she fell pregnant. Last month's annual accounts show that 8.5 per cent of Buckingham Palace staff are from ethnic minority backgrounds.
