You have to be a certain kind of stupid to not understand why that IS racist.

Well we know that the Royal Family in this country traditionally don't have many mixed race children in it's lineage, so it is probably a culture shock to some of them.

Not that having concerns about the skin colour would make it okay in any walk of life tbf, but I'm guessing that's where the two individuals in question might've stumbled onto such a minefield.

They do actually. King George 3rd's wife Charlotte was mixed race, directly descended from a Black branch of the Portuguese royal house. They had 15 children.

Any ancestor of Queen Charlotte who may have been black would have lived at least 15 generations - or about 300 years - before she was born. And there is much conjecture among historians whether or not the claims she had a black ancestor are true.

An interesting article about this:

Was this Britain's first black queen?
