NANA AKUA: Wondering aloud about a baby's skin tone is NOT racist

In this column on MailOnline, NANA AKUA writes:

Everyone wanted to know the identity of the supposed 'royal racists' – who allegedly asked about the skin colour of Harry and Meghan's yet-to-be-born son Archie – after they were 'inadvertently' outed by the Sussexes' apparent mouthpiece Omid Scobie in his new book, Endgame.
