The original post was bad enough, but you’re bowing to new lows even for you! What the hell is your right to question her skin color! She is American of mixed race, and yes, she married an English prince.At least I have a ball explaining why this is really bothering you

Royal fans weren’t the only ones who took issue with the tweet.
Tessie Ojoe, chief executive of the Diana Awards involving Prince Harry and Prince William, called the comment “awful.”
“@angelalevin1 Never get on the bandwagon as it goes against everything I believe in but this post is atrocious and unbelievable!” Ojo replied with a quote retweet. “How on earth do you think it’s allowed to comment on the color of a person’s skin? Have we sunk so low that nothing is sacred anymore?”

Markle has spoken out about the racism she received from the British media during her time with the royal family, and has been particularly open about her experiences on the podcast ‘Archetypes’.
Speaking about a recent episode of being deemed “difficult” by the media, the Duchess recalled advice she’d heard from friends.
“A friend of mine said there are certain points where I agree with the fact that not everyone will like you. It’s about respecting you,” she shared.
