LONDON: Prince William on Thursday defended the British royal family after his younger brother Harry and wife Meghan accused them of racism in a bombshell interview watched around the world. “We’re very much not a racist family,” William told reporters during a visit to a multi-racial school in a deprived area of east London. A keenly awaited statement from Queen Elizabeth II, 94, was issued Tuesday and was conciliatory towards Harry and Meghan. During the interview, Harry said his father, 72, stopped taking his calls after his move to North America, but they were trying to rebuild bridges. William and his wife Kate are increasingly involved in promoting mental health support, particularly through the coronavirus pandemic.
