London:
Prime Minister Boris Johnson expressed his admiration for the Queen and the unifying part she plays in Britain and beyond on Monday, attempting to steer clear of accusations of racism created by Meghan Markle against the royal loved ones.
Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, accused the royal loved ones of raising issues about how dark their son’s skin could possibly be and pushing her to the brink of suicide in a inform-all tv interview that sent shockwaves by way of the monarchy.
Prime ministers seldom comment on royal matters and on Monday, soon after a blizzard of coverage of the interview, Johnson mentioned he would not be drawn on the racism accusations, speaking only of his admiration of Queen Elizabeth.
“I’ve always had the highest admiration for the Queen and the unifying role that she plays in our country and across the Commonwealth,” he told a news conference when asked about the allegations.
“As for the rest, all other matters to do with the royal family, I’ve spent a long time now not commenting on royal family matters and I don’t intend to depart from that today.”
The interview, which has posed inquiries about the concern of racism in Britain, was aired in the early hours of Monday, shortly soon after Queen Elizabeth celebrated the unity of the Commonwealth for the duration of the coronavirus crisis.
In a speech to mark Commonwealth Day, committed to the nations mostly from the former British empire that preserve hyperlinks with Britain, the Queen welcomed the “deeper appreciation of the mutual support and spiritual sustenance we enjoy being connected to others” for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic.
