NEW (SOUND ON): The Duke of Cambridge says he has not yet spoken to his brother and that “we are very much not a racist family” as he and the Duchess leave an East London school this morning: pic.twitter.com/gTGmUBH1Kg
Prince William and Kate Middleton attended their first public event today since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday and the press had just two questions for him.
The first question was if he has spoken to his brother. He said, “No, I haven’t spoken to him yet. But I will do.”
He probably thought he was off the hook with the tough questions, but he was not. The reporter then wanted to know if his family is racists. “We are very much not a racist family,” he responded as he walked away.
Then again, what else could he say. Yes, we are racists. I think at some point; they are going to have to do their own interview and prove it. Not that you can or cannot.
There is so much that we have heard about Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but there is one thing we missed. Did you know there was a connection to The Brady Bunch during it?
The Duke and The Duchess, along with Winfrey, were sitting on chairs that are designed by Christopher Knight, aka Peter Brady. “To our pleasant surprise our wicker and acacia Burchett Outdoor Club Chairs were used for the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview with Oprah Winfrey,” he wrote.
They are currently sold out on Amazon, but he hopes to have them available again soon.
I seriously love how random this little tidbit is. Something mundane but interesting that came out of the interview.

On Sunday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey about his family, the British Royals. Today, his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, released a statement about it.
“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.
Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
It sounds like Prince Charles and Prince William are going to get a scolding. At least, I am assuming that is who she is talking about because it is who most of us think she is referring to.
Then again, she could be talking about how Buckimgham Palace handles everything. Maybe it is time they get into the 21st Century before it is too late, and the monarchy is no more.

Today, Prince Charles did his first public event since Oprah Winfrey’s interview with his son Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aired on Sunday. ITV News’ Lizzie Robinson asked him what he thought of it as he was leaving. Instead of answering, he just kept walking and said, “Thank you, everyone.”
I am sure she did not expect an answer, but you cannot blame her for asking. We all want to know what he thought of it because I am sure I am not the only one thinking that Harry was throwing a lot of shade at his dad. Am I the only one?
Now, let’s talk about the way Robinson asked the question. Could she have been any more polite? If he was over on this side of the pond. Every one of those reporters would have been screaming the question at him the whole time he was in the building. That is just how we do it over here.
I bet you thought that no one ever says no to Oprah Winfrey, but Meghan Markle did. You see, before the actress became a Duchess, Winfrey asked her for a sitdown interview, but Buckingham Palace would not let her do it. In fact, Markle says that there were people listening to their telephone conversation to make sure that she turned down the offer.
Why did she say yes now? “Well, so many things. That we’re on the other side of a lot of…a lot of life experience that’s happened,” Markle told Oprah. “And also that we have the ability to make our own choices in a way that I couldn’t have said yes to you then. That wasn’t my choice to make. So, as an adult who lived a really independent life to then go into this construct that is…different than I think what people imagine it to be, it’s really liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege in some ways to be able to say yes.”
The rest of their unrestricted, 2-hour chat will air Sunday at 8p on CBS.
Be prepared for Markle to claim to be the victim. She isn’t. I bet you she wears the pants in their marriage, and Harry has to do whatever she says. I feel for him. I am sure he wanted a change, but I don’t think he wanted all of this. Hopefully, his family will take him back with open arms after he gets divorced. We all know they are going to get one eventually.
It would be nice if they could live happily ever after, but that only happens in fairy tales.
