'Bridgerton' star Adjoa Andoh calls royals 'terribly white,' sparking most UK TV complaints of year
|
[NYPOST] "Bridgerton" star Adjoa Andoh is under fire for deriding the royal family as "terribly white" during live coverage of the coronation — sparking more official complaints than any other UK broadcast this year.
African rulers, traditional or otherwise, appear to be terribly black. So what's yer point?
The 60-year-old actress, who plays Lady Agatha Danbury in the royal-themed Netflix show, made the racial remark while a guest commentator for ITV’s live coverage of Saturday’s crowning of King Charles III.
As the king and his kin waved to wellwishers from a Buckingham Palace balcony, Andoh decried how the event had "gone from the rich diversity of [Westminster] Abbey to the terribly white balcony.
"I’m very struck by that," she said as fellow pundit Myleene Klass appeared aghast.
It was an Anglo-Saxon nation until the post-Colonial influx of pushy and ignorant colored folk.
UK regulator Ofcom confirmed to The Post on Thursday that there have already been 4,165 complaints about her remarks — making it the most complained-about moment of 2023.
