Almost half of Canadians think the Royal Family is racist following Meghan & Harry interview

A new study by Leger Marketing has examined the way Canadians reacted to the Oprah interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry last week. During the interview, Meghan stated that there were some concerns in the family as to how dark their baby’s skin would be. According to the survey results, 43% of Canadians believe that the interview reveals that the Royal Family holds racist views. Just 26% of respondents feel that the Royal Family does not.

The study also found that over half of Canadians (53%) believe the monarchy to be out of date and that it no longer has a place in the 21st century.
