Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh stuns ITV presenters by calling the Buckingham Palace balcony 'terribly white' during live Coronation coverage

Bridgerton actress Adjoa Andoh left her ITV co-stars stunned yesterday when she referred to the Buckingham Palace balcony as being 'terribly white' during their live Coronation coverage.

The star, whose father was of Ghanaian origin, was commentating for the network on their programme hosted by Tom Bradby and Julie Etchingham when she said of the event: 'We have gone from the rich diversity of the Abbey to a terribly white balcony.

'I am very struck by that.

'I am also looking at those younger generations and thinking: "What are the nuances that they will inhabit when they grow?"

Ms Andoh, 60, who plays Lady Danbury in the Netflix show, left fellow pundit Myleene Klass – who was sitting next to her – appearing bewildered as she made her comments.

She’s only about a sixth black and five sixths white.

Andoh is enabled by the self-destructive white people who subscribe to Netflix.

If only indigenous Brits realized that they are a white, western country so people like this cretin or their current PM would not exist within their borders. But, no, even the Tories have embraced non western immigrants and their descendants.

But like a lot of insane liberals, she uses that 1/6 black to claim victimhood entitling her to special treatment.

Look at Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren claiming to be native American indian.

I read this morning some Stanford Female Professor had to apologize this week for claiming to be a native American her entire academic career when she and ZERO Indian blood, she blamed it on her parents for telling her they were part Indian and she believed them and did not research her hearitage.

So… is she saying Mrs. Prince Harry should have been on the balcony to provide diversity?

I slept through most of the event.

I did tune in SkyNews about 8:30 (US Central Time Zone). The broadcast was 4 female and 1 male commentator gushing on and on and on about — Camilla.

About 5 minutes of that was all I could take.

Well, she won’t have to wait much longer - as Britain is becoming completely overrun with POCs.

London is now majority non-White, the mayor a Muslim and the PM a Hindu.

How much longer before the royal family is dethroned given the rising “tide of color?”

Well... Unlike the recent ‘historical’ dramas presented by Netflix... All of the actual Royals have apparently sprung from a white ancestry, not the black ancestry as depicted in the mythological historical dramas produced by Netflix.

The next thing you know, they’ll be presenting Cleopatra as being of black heritage... Oops! Too late... They’ve already have done that. I can hardly wait though for a black Caesar, a black King Henry the VII, or a black Queen Elizabeth I to appear on Netflix.

If you truly are looking to watch an historical drama based on history... Don’t bother watching Netflix, you’ll be sorely disappointed.

Meagan is biracial at best and if it weren’t for her spray on tans, she’d probably look whiter than Harry.

PBS is sponsoring a black Richard III with a trannie actor.

Here’s an idea... Othello with an all black cast except... Othello.

We’ll just pretend that the Moors were white instead of black.

I've been to Britain a few times. Very cloudy. Definitely needs more sun.

I was stationed there for 3 years and you are definitely right.

Her comment is RACIST. No family is obligated to pick spouses with diversity as their goal.., one from column A, two from column B, etc. King Charles represents a thousand year civilization who fought over a tiny little island and whose legacy has had a profound effect on humanity with its concepts and defense of liberty across the globe.

There’s no gratitude. The same white colonialism that is attacked for not being woke enough disrupted the oppressive caste system in India and ended slavery on the African continent. It contained tribal wars. Its far reach and influence provided the resources to repel Nazi fascism and Japanese imperialism. Show some respect.

Don’t like how the royal family looks because of skin tone? There’s a whole world waiting for you. But then where’s your career? Can you live without your megaphone to whine from a place of privilege that most white people can only dream about? She’s a ridiculous person with no sense of context. Unfortunately she’s not considered the fringe in the early 21st century.

She allies herself with neofascist Leftists in the West.
