Royal race row: Can they modernise?

Royal race row: Can they modernise?

By Sky News

The Prince and Princess of Wales's first overseas trip since the Queen's death has been overshadowed by controversy at home. The prince’s godmother has resigned from her role in the royal household after she repeatedly asked Ngozi Fulani, a black domestic abuse campaigner, where she “really came from”.

A spokesperson for Prince William, who is on a three-day visit to Boston, Massachusetts, said Lady Susan Hussey's comments were "unacceptable" and that "racism has no place in our society".

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson gets the reaction in Boston from Sky's royal correspondent Laura Bundock and speaks to Sunder Katwala from British Future about diversity in Buckingham Palace. Plus, PR specialist Professor Cele Otnes speaks about the role the younger royals could play in rebranding the Royal Family.
