"The row over the ‘terribly white’ Royal balcony exposes the hypocrisy of the woke Left".

"During ITV’s live coverage of the Coronation last Saturday, the actress Adjoa Andoh – who plays Lady Danbury in Bridgerton – described the shot of the Royal family standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace as “terribly white”. This comment has now provoked more complaints to Ofcom than anything else on TV this year.

Personally, I’m all for freedom of speech. So I think Ms Andoh is entitled to her view. The only trouble is, I don’t understand it. What exactly was she trying to say?

The use of the word “terribly” implies disapproval. It suggests that there’s something wrong with the Royal family all being white. But if so, what are they supposed to do about it? Should the Royal family introduce a quota system? Pledge to ensure that a minimum 15 per cent of Royal family members are non-white by 2030? Arrange for all members of the family who are currently single to be married off to non-white partners, so that they can produce non-white children?"

Actually I feel for the young lady at the centre of this storm in a tea cup. Her comment is perfectly understandable, she's simply reflecting on the world she sees around her. Every time she watches a film there will be black actors, often portraying people who would have been white in reality, every TV soap features black actors, every TV series will feature black actors, many of our top politicians are black, so are TV newsreaders, TV sports presenters and pundits, rare indeed is a TV or magazine advert that doesn't feature a black person or a black family.

So when Adjoa sees an all white family line up on the Palace balcony, it must have come as something of a shock, unreal almost to her, no wonder she commented on it, it was such an unusual sight for someone of her age. Leave her alone.
