British Royal family had ban on hiring people of color and foreigners 

London, June 3 (RHC)-- The Guardian reports the British royal family had a policy banning the hiring of people of color or foreigners in roles other than domestic servants until at least the late 1960s.  Buckingham Palace was also able to negotiate an exemption from British laws that prevent discrimination. 

The revelations come as the royal family is still grappling with the fallout from an explosive March interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in which Markle revealed a member of the royal family expressed concern about her then-unborn baby’s skin color. 

In the interview, Markle shared with Oprah Winfrey her mental health struggles during her time as a Royal.
