Bridgerton actress Adjoa Andoh left her ITV co-stars stunned yesterday when she referred to the Buckingham Palace balcony as being 'terribly white' during their live Coronation coverage.

The star, whose father was of Ghanaian origin, was commentating for the network on their programme hosted by Tom Bradby and Julie Etchingham when she said of the event: 'We have gone from the rich diversity of the Abbey to a terribly white balcony.

'I am very struck by that.

'I am also looking at those younger generations and thinking: "What are the nuances that they will inhabit when they grow?"

Ms Andoh, 60, who plays Lady Danbury in the Netflix show, left fellow pundit Myleene Klass – who was sitting next to her – appearing bewildered as she made her comments.

The clip, which was widely shared on Twitter, prompted a backlash for Ms Andoh. One user said: 'Why is it OK to dismiss a white family for being white?'

I've been to Britain a few times. Very cloudy. Definitely needs more sun.

Is she supposed to be the mother of the Duke of Ellington, or whatever that character’s name is?

If you think the Royal Family is mostly white English people, you should go to Italy. That place is overrun by Italians.

And not just Italians. It's overrun by privileged Italians. Italian supremacists!

And don't even consider going to Spain. There are Spanish people everywhere! And they run things like they own the place.

She is complaining about the color of a BALCONY!

What about white toilets? Do we have to now paint every home appliance or furnishing a different color? This is where insane woke liberals are taking us.

How much of a narcissist do you have to be to think, a two-bit black actress who somehow marries into the British Royal family that goes back 1000 years, you can change how the royal family conducts their business.

Maybe because the family is a white family? Good grief.

I agree, and I also say alas Babylon, but I don't think of the old akkadian capital, but on the wonderful satirical site the BabylonBee. How are they going to top the idiocies our so called "elite" is disgorging.

And Wakanda is “terribly black,” it would seem.

What a good hotel in Wakanda?

Adjoa Andoh and her people should work to create their version of the British Empire that lasts for centuries and then she can have whatever color of balcony she thinks is appropriate, instead of excreting her racist whining about the people on the balcony who represent the British Empire?
