Racism: Prince William Defends Royal Family Following Meghan Markle Comments

Prince William has responded to Meghan Markle's racism claims, coming to the defense of the royals on Thursday.

Meghan's racism claims have been met with many comments, most prominent among them being British journalist Piers Morgan, who said that he didn't believe what came out of the Duchess's mouth.

Now, the Duke of Cambridge himself, Prince William, has broken his silence following the racism accusations from his sister-in-law, stating that they are not a racist family.

"We are very much not a racist family."
