Buckingham Palace barred minorities from office jobs during the 1960s'

The palace replied forcefully to the historical allegations, stressing that the queen and her household comply "in principle and in practice" with anti-discrimination legislation

Buckingham Palace barred ethnic minorities from office jobs during the 1960s, the Guardian newspaper reported Thursday, citing documents in Britain's National Archives.
 
The revelation, published on the newspaper's front page, was based on papers showing that Queen Elizabeth II's chief financial manager told civil servants in 1968 that it was not the palace's practice to hire “coloured immigrants or foreigners” for clerical posts and other office jobs.
 
“It was not, in fact, the practice to appoint coloured immigrants or foreigners” to clerical and other office posts, one document quoted the royal courtier as having stated.
