Labour is demanding that Buckingham Palace end its silence over the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s dramatic allegations of racism made against an unnamed member of the royal family.
“Allegations, accusations have been made – they obviously need to be looked at,” said Jonathan Ashworth, the party’s health spokesman.
Asked how the investigation should be carried out, Mr Ashworth replied: “That is a matter for the Palace and they will need to come forward with a process.”
And – after more than 24 hours of silence from the royal family – he added: “I think people will expect them to make a response.”
The comments come after criticism of Boris Johnson for refusing to make any comment on the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, despite the controversies raised.
