Following Meghan Markle’s allegations of racism, unfair treatment and an overall lack of support from her royal in-laws in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Queen Elizabeth II is admitting Buckingham Palace could use some help — and has actually begun the search for a royal “Diversity Czar.”
Reporter Sara Dorn from PageSix writes that “In an official statement issued by the 94-year-old monarch following the interview, she said the racism accusations were ‘concerning’ and ‘will be addressed by the family privately.’”
“In addition to the [diversity czar’s] hire, the monarchy will engage in an upcoming ‘listen and learn’ exercise in which the royals will ‘seek independent views’ on how it can improve diversity efforts encompassing minorities and the LGBT community,” Dorn wrote.
