King Charles after the Bridgerton actress said the scene of the Royal Family standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony looked "terribly white".

Catherine Mayer, author of the 2015 book Charles the Heart of a King, was sitting next to Andoh when she made the comment on ITV's Coronation coverage, and nodded approvingly when the remark was made.

Mayer has re-iterated her support of Andoh's comments, tweeting: "As the woman who was sitting next to Adjoa Andoh and nodding in agreement, I can only nod again. "The irony is that those launching racist attacks in supposed defence of King and country instead undermine the man, the monarchy and the UK. "Andoh, 60, who is best known for portraying Lady Danbury in the steamy Netflix favourite, made an appearance as a guest pundit during the ITV coverage.

"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?'"The Times reports that 4,165 complaints were received by Ofcom about the comments, taking the crown of the most complained about broadcast moment of the year so far.
