BBC News - Ros Atkins on ..., The Royal Family’s missed chance

Ros Atkins examines the monarchy's role in a modern, multicultural and democratic society

Ros Atkins considers the monarchy's role in a modern, multicultural and democratic society.

It's been a turbulent week for the British royal family following Harry and Meghan's explosive sit-down with Oprah Winfrey. On Thursday, Prince William said the British Royal family is not racist - in his first public response to allegations made in the US television interview, where the Duchess of Sussex claimed her husband had been asked how dark the skin of their first baby might be. Ros Atkins looks at the fallout from the interview and asks if the rift marks a missed opportunity for the Royal family?
