By Regina Park Jun 3, 2021 Buckingham Palace is facing new allegations of racism and discrimination after documents showing its former hiring practices were resurfaced in a report by According to the outlet’s report, documents show that in 1968 the Palace noted “it was not, in fact, the practice to appoint coloured immigrants or foreigners” to serve in clerical roles within the Palace, though people of color could work as domestic servants. The practice of banning immigrants and people of color from those roles continued at least through the late 1960s. The Guardian reported that the Palace “refused to answer questions about the ban and when it was revoked,” though the Palace added that “its records showed people from ethnic minority backgrounds being employed in the 1990s.” Before then, Buckingham said it didn’t record the race of its employees.
