Mayor Joanne Anderson suggested the Royal Family was racist 'by its very nature' in a discussion about how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are treated.
The city mayor was speaking on Times Radio as part of a discussion about her own life and background and was asked about the Royal Family and the reaction to a Netflix documentary on Prince Harry and Meghan's experiences.
Speaking about Meghan Markle's treatment by the Royal Family and the press, she told host Cathy Newman: "People who are Hollywood stars, as normal people we don't have a lot of sympathy. When we look at her experiences I think it's absolutely horrible, I think we have got a long way to go in Britain."
