The great Imperial Family of Britain is no more the unadulterated and pure Firm it used to be prior to the entry of the former American actress. Eventually, after the dream fairytale wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, all hell broke loose with cultural differences and other major issues crawling into the Palace premises. One of the striking allegations that stigmatized the royal family was racism, as alleged by the Duchess herself. The weight to clean it off now lies on Prince William.

However, as Queen Elizabeth once said, “certain recollections may vary.” And it sure does, as the heir to the throne seems to be defying the remarks in style. After having cared for his late mother’s contributions toward homelessness, King Charles’ eldest has taken up with racism. Recently, the Prince expressed his condemnation of a racist Football Association calling for justice for the victims.

As reported by Sky News, the future king, who also happens to be the president of the Football Association, wrote to its authorities to prioritize the matter and get to its roots. As sent by his private secretary, the Prince of Wales said he is “deeply concerned” by the awful experience of some players. And that those involved “must be held accountable” for the abuse. 

He further affirmed in his letter that, “Racism and abuse have no place in our society.” “Abhorrent behavior of this nature must stop now and all those responsible be held to account,” he further added in the urgent ordeal issued. It is also to note that this is not the first time Prince William is taking such a stance. As reported by the outlet, as many as 40 football clubs have contacted him for the same issue.
