Racist princess wears racist brooch to lunch with Megan Markle (photos)
Princess Michael of Kent, who is married to the Queen's cousin, Prince
Michael, wore a racist brooch to the queen's annual Christmas lunch
where Megan Markle was to be officially introduced to the royal family.
She was spotted wearing the Blackamoore brooch on her coat as she was
driven into Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.
Back in 2004, this same princess told Black diners in a New York restaurant to 'go back to the colonies.'
After the photos hit online, the Princess was shred to pieces, forcing her to issue a public apology.
A spokesperson told The Sun Online that the brooch was in fact a gift
that Princess Michael had worn many times before. The spokesperson
said: "Princess Michael is very sorry and distressed that it has caused
offence."
Blackamoor is a style of artwork dating back from the 18th Century
which is usually found in sculpture, jewellery and textiles in which
black men and women are often depicted as slaves.
Blackamoor art and jewelry famously depict Black servants.
