* HilariousInHindsight: Seretse's uncle declares that he is unfit to be King because he's married a white woman, noting that if [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily Princess Elizabeth]] (as she was at the time) had married a black man, she would have had to give up the throne. Fast-forward to 2017/18, when Prince Harry's engagement and marriage to the biracial Creator/MeghanMarkle was seen by some narrow-minded people as catastrophic to the monarchy (never mind that Harry and his children are highly unlikely to take the throne).
** Not to mention their January 2020 decision to step down from their position as senior royals, which they revealed in a March 2021 interview was partly due to the racism Meghan faced.
