Tuesday March 9, 2021, 7:54 PM Diane Abbott believes “tangible change” is possible in Britain’s most historic institutions as the fallout from a series of astonishing claims made by the Duchess of Sussex continues. Ms Abbott, the country’s first female black MP, told ITV News presenter Charlene White the royal household must “face up to the reality” of institutional racism. She was speaking as part of a ITV News panel of black women from the fields of politics, business, education and law, who gave their reactions to the explosive interview and shared their experiences of racism. Meghan’s revelation that someone in Harry’s family had made racist remarks – revealed in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey – remains the most damaging one for the royals.
