Blackamoor-inspired brooch to wear on your lapel.
Princess Michael of Kent wore this brooch to lunch at Buckingham Palace in 2017 when Meghan Markle was also present. Her choice of jewelry in the “Blackamoor” style, which is commonly considered as culturally insensitive, provoked a reaction on social media.
After that, the lady wrote an apology letter in which she sought to defend her behaviour by saying that she had been given the brooch as a present and that she had worn it “many times” prior to the event in issue. However, the woman’s attempt to justify her behaviour was unsuccessful.
