Princess Michael of Kent has ignited a firestorm by wearing jewelry considered racist to a gathering attended by Meghan Markle.
The 72-year-old Princess, who’s married to the Queen’s cousin, sported a “blackamoor” brooch.
The statement pinis controversial because it fetishizes dark-skinned slaves and servants.

Princess Michael’s spokesman told TMZ that she’s “very sorry and distressed” about wearing the racially insensitive pin. A source claimed it was a girft. The Royal reportedly plans to retire the brooch.
