<p>The Home Secretary said she had not seen any debates or commentary about Meghan which she thought were racist – despite claims that racism has driven negative media reports.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Ms Patel’s comments come as senior royals race to thrash out plans for Harry and Meghan’s future following the couple’s bombshell announcement that they plan to step back as senior royals.</p>
<p>In November 2016, Harry lashed out at the “wave of abuse and harassment” the US actress had faced from the media – citing the “racial undertones of comment pieces” among his concerns.</p>
<p>Ms Patel, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, rejected suggestions that Meghan had been subjected to racist press coverage.</p>
<p>She said: “I’m not in that category at all where I believe there’s racism at all. I think we live in a great country, a great society, full of opportunity, where people of any background can get on in life.”</p>

<p>Asked if the media had been in any way racist, she replied: “I don’t think so, no… I certainly haven’t seen that through any debates or commentary or things of that nature.”</p>
<p>The Cabinet minister also refused to comment on future security arrangements for the duke and duchess if they step back from royal life.</p>
<p>“I’m not going to provide any detailed information on the security arrangements for either them or any members of the royal family or for any protected individuals – that’s thoroughly inappropriate for me to do so.</p>
<p>“At this moment in time, right now, the royal family themselves need some time and space for them to work through the current issues that they’re dealing with.”</p>
