since the only people on the balcony were members of the family, how could it have been otherwise? not sure what her point is - maybe that individual family members are to be criticised for not having non-whites in their dating pool?

[anneasquith]

Indeed all white. Look what’s happening to the only non white member in the family ?

[naomi24]

Can’t see what’s terrible about it. The family is white. Nothing wrong with that.

[Rosetta]

Publicity for new Bridgerton series maybe?

[naomi24]

Anneasquith, the only non-white member of the family is the author of her own misfortunes.

^^What misfortune ?

[Deskdiary]

It was a racist thing to say, but, of course, it was ‘acceptable’ racism.

Would we have been allowed to criticism the Obama family for being too black?
When does a person stop being 'white'? I know no-one who is 'white', fetching shades of pink that darken in the sun and I know lots of people with naturally darker skin that also darkens in the sun. Maybe Farrow and Ball need to produce a chart.

[zebo]

The 'non white' person who married a royal is at least 50% 'white' but it's not a box ticking fact.

[William51]

Another facile racial comment that only inflames feelings. She and others should get a life.

[Bazile]

Yes a chance of having a 43% black person on the balcony was missed

[MissTerious2]

Oh dear. I must apologise. My family is all white. I actually did divert from all white in my dating pool but I didn't marry either of them. A terrible mistake.

[Deskdiary]

I don’t know if Letsie III of Lesotho has a balcony or was coronated, but if he does and was and his family (presumably all black) was in the balcony and a white commenter said it was terribly black, you’d have heard the uproar on the moon.

I don’t see any difference.

[Barsel]

I'm sorry but people like this really annoy me.
What was the point of her saying that?
I've no idea who she is, but already I don't like her for what she has said. Stupid woman.

[MissTerious2]

[MissTerious2]

Not stupid Barsel, just attention seeking and full of herself. Plenty of them about these days who utter rubbish like this.

[ToraToraTora]

perhaps they should have hired some Golliwogs from that battle cruiser last week! For Funks Sake!

[MissTerious2]

How did I manage to post a blank answer?

[Barsel]

Lottie, you have a rare talent :-)

[brainiac]

Miss T - I thought your answer was 'terribly white'

[Barsel]

So white it was see-through.
