The paper also reported the documents show that in the 1970s, the queen and her aides were able to negotiate with government officials to exempt the royal household from laws prohibiting discriminatory hiring practices, which to this day keep royal employees from suing for alleged discrimination at work.
"The Royal Household and the Sovereign comply with the provisions of the Equality Act, in principle and in practice," the palace statement said. "This is reflected in the diversity, inclusion and dignity-at-work policies, procedures and practices within the Royal Household. Any complaints that might be raised under the Act follow a formal process that provides a means of hearing and remedying any complaint.
