    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been criticised for turning "innocent speculation" about their child's skin colour into an "attention-seeking PR stunt".<\/p>\n

    Buki Mosaku, race relations expert and founder of DiverseCity Think Tank, has accused the pair of making a "mountain out of a mole hill" to stay in the limelight. Mosaku, who is a leading authority on unconscious bias, insists that comments allegedly made by members of the Royal Family about the likely complexion of the pair's son Archie were not racist.<\/p>\n

    He said it is "perfectly normal" for relatives to talk about the skin colour of unborn babies with mixed-race parents. He believes conversations like these are had by families in every culture around the world every day, and the Royal Family should not be excluded from participating in them.<\/p>\n

    If the alleged comments were made in earnest then those "responsible" have nothing to fear and need never apologise, he added.<\/p>\n

    Mosaku said: "Questioning skin tone may seem crude to some, especially woke observers, but conversations like these are had by mixed-race families in just about every single culture in every single town and city on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

    "It is preposterous that Harry and Meghan would think these comments are anything but innocent. On the basis that these comments, if they were made at all, were said in this context then the Duke and Duchess have made a mountain out of a mole hill, perhaps to ensure their brand remains high on the media agenda.<\/p>\n

    "If they really, truly believe that such comments are discriminatory then I would suggest they need a 'What is racism?' starter course and I would be perfectly happy to jump on a plane to California and teach it on a complimentary basis."<\/p>\n
