Welcomed by whom? From what I remember, the favourable interest was the marriage and then the usual society-page gossip about the bride.
Colour became an issue through innuendo in the media and the usual Powell-ite types...
there was a lot of gushing about how great it was that a person of colour was joining the Royals - I certainly never heard any complaints. I don't think anyone cared or just didn't realise she was black. It seems to be a media thing to stir up a bit of race-baiting. It gives the Left a sense of purpose.

Indeed. Throw in an upper middle class oik or one of those colonials into the mix now and then . Far better to simply marry for love. I don’t know . My Pakistani co worker married a girl for love and it didnt work out. He then got his family to arrange a marriage and it was great apparently.

That's the thing with arranged marriages. It really comes down to how the parents go about it and whether they respect the decisions of the arranged to be with each other. Think of it like a showroom.

There was one person who cared: the girlfriend of that week's leader of UKIP made a crass remark about the royal 'gene-pool' or some such. But that's the only one I remember. Speculating about a baby's skin, hair and eye colour are perfectly natural. Perhaps it's to be classified as a 'micro-aggression' nowadays, like mis-pronouncing an unusual name.

Yes, we're not supposed to notice such things and even if we do happen to it's distinctly non-U to mention it.

I was wondering if the "translation error" was that Kate was named as one of the people having the conversation. Maybe they meant the "Princess of Wales" rather than Kate, who is NOW Princess of Wales but at the time it was Camilla, I believe. So if the claim is that Charles and Camilla were discussing the colour of the child, that would sound more credible - and it's not racist anyway. I seriously doubt that Kate would ever mention colour - just not "done" in her circles.
