Record outrage as Adjoa Andoh calls royals ‘terribly white’

“Bridgerton” star Adjoa Andoh is under fire for deriding the royal family as “terribly white” during live coverage of the coronation — sparking more official complaints than any other UK broadcast this year.

The 60-year-old actress, who plays Lady Agatha Danbury in the royal-themed Netflix show, made the racial remark while a guest commentator for ITV’s live coverage of Saturday’s crowning of King Charles III.

As the king and his kin waved to wellwishers from a Buckingham Palace balcony, Andoh decried how the event had “gone from the rich diversity of [Westminster] Abbey to the terribly white balcony.

“I’m very struck by that,” she said as fellow pundit Myleene Klass appeared aghast.

UK regulator Ofcom confirmed to The Post on Thursday that there have already been 4,165 complaints about her remarks — making it the most complained-about moment of 2023.

That is already more than 1,150 above the most complained-about TV moment last year when 2,630 officially denounced bullying and misogyny on “Love Island,” the Telegraph noted.

However, a spokesperson said Ofcom was still “assessing the complaints against our broadcasting rules before deciding whether or not to investigate.”

Andoh addressed the backlash during an interview with BBC Radio 4 on Sunday, as the coronation celebrations continued.

“I think I upset a few people,” she conceded, according to the Telegraph.

“I was talking about the day and how marvelous it was and then looking at the balcony at the end and suddenly went, ‘Oh, it’s so white’ because the day had been so, so mixed,” she said of her off-the-cuff comments.

“I didn’t mean to upset anybody.”

ITV has declined to comment.
