It is their first trip abroad since the Queen died, but the Prince and Princess of Wales haven't been centre stage due to a race row engulfing the Palace and Meghan and Harry's new Netflix trailer.

A bombshell Netflix trailer and a growing race row within the Royal family have overshadowed Prince William and Kate’s first trip abroad since the Queen died.But the eyes of the world were online as Prince Harry and Meghan released a sixty-second clip for their new docu-series.

The scenes are intercut with stony-faced images including William and Kate – whose visit to the US to promote their Earthshot charity has been overshadowed by the palace race row. The Prince and Princess of Wales meet well wishers during a visit to Roca, in Chelsea, Massachusetts ‘On this day, I invite us all to consider the legacy of colonialism and racism,’ the Rev Mariama White-Hammond told them. ‘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.’

The late Queen’s lady-in-waiting had approached Ngozi Fulani, the head of a Hackney-based domestic violence charity, and repeatedly demanded to know ‘where are you from?’ ‘I’m very proud of my African heritage. This is like the Windrush thing to me. You’re trying to make me unwelcome in my own space.’ Nazir Afzal, a former chief crown prosecutor, said Lady Susan asked him the same question, tweeting: ‘She only asked me my heritage once and seemed to accept my answer – Manchester currently’. He added: ‘Racism is never very far away.’

‘All members of the household are being reminded of the diversity and inclusivity policies which they are required to uphold at all times.’ William has not seen Harry since their grandmother’s funeral in September. They are not expected to meet on the US trip.
