A black reverend began the Prince and Princess of Wales' Earthshot launch event today by making a lecture about the 'legacy of colonialism and racism' - just hours after Buckingham Palace became embroiled in a furious race row when William's godmother was accused of making racist remarks at an event hosted by Queen Consort Camilla.
Just minutes before William and Kate took to the stage at the Boston launch event of the Prince's Earthshot Prize, Reverend Mariama White-Hammond - the city's Chief of Environment, Energy, and Open Space - gave a strong speech in which she told the crowd to 'consider the legacy of colonialism and racism', particularly when it comes to their impact on climate change.
As the Prince and Princess Wales watched on from the wings, Reverend Hammond, who founded a youth organization focused on 'teaching the history of the Civil Rights Movement', said: 'On this day, I invite us all to consider the legacy of colonialism and racism.'
She continued: 'The ways it has impacted people across the world and its connection, its deep connection to the degradation of land and our planet that we are all seeking to reverse. The stories lost, the species made extinct, but also the persistence of people in the face of oppression and the fundamental dignity of all of our relations.'
Although no mention was made about Lady Susan Hussey - former lady-in-waiting to the Queen and William's own godmother - who was accused of making racist comments to black domestic abuse campaigner Ngozi Fulani at a Buckingham Palace event on Tuesday night, few could fail to connect the controversy with Reverend White-Hammond's remarks.

I’m afraid Boston quickly stopped being a cradle of liberty. Very quickly. Cradle of “liberalism”, mostly - in the socialist sense.
I’ve always said we should set up an exchange program. Our blacks can leave for Africa as their whining and shouting and rioting implies they wish, and real Africans can come here.
So much for Willy the Woke.
Willy the Woke is on a roll...
WTG, House of Windsor!
