Might have been her dress that caused the confusion.

Maybe,
it is still Rude to ask a black person if they are from Africa?

She could be English
or from the West Indies

Disgraceful but not at all surprising.

Why? Tell us instances of racism that you seem to know about from the Royals or their staff. The only examples I know of is someone wondering what H&M's baby will look like (which hasn't been proved and isn't even racist) and Harry wearing a swastika and calling fellow soldiers from Pakistan racist names.

Well?

asking where someone is from is not and never has been racism

What are you saying the Media

She did not Ask where someone is from


She asked what part of Africa, is she, from

Omg that's the most terrible question in the world ever, omg, sooooooooooo bad. Kill the woman who asked her that question (should of asked where her parents/grandparents are ORIGINALLY from), oh man that's awful and shocking. Man we're terrible here, no wonder we're leaving this country in our hundreds of thousands.

Yes, but her dress and accessories make her seem as though she is very very proud of her african background, so I'm not getting her outrage at the question.
