<p>&#8220;Bridgerton&#8221; star Adjoa Andoh broke her silence after she faced some backlash for saying during live coverage of King Charles III&#8217;s coronation that the Buckingham Palace balcony was &#8220;terribly white.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the 60-year-old British actress&#8217; appearance on Saturday on an ITV panel the &#8220;Invictus&#8221; star said &#8220;We have gone from the rich diversity of the Abbey to a terribly white balcony. I am very struck by that.&#8221; The image was that of the King, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family, the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/bridgertons-adjoa-andoh-breaks-silence-29918132">Mirror</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am also looking at those younger generations and thinking: &#8216;What are the nuances that they will inhabit as they grow?&#8221; she added.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Actress Adjoa Andoh was given a BBC platform to speak of a &quot;terribly white balcony&quot;.<br />Can you imagine them giving someone a platform to speak of a &quot;terribly black&quot; family or a &quot;terribly black&quot; TV show?<br />Why is it ok to dismiss a white family for being white?<a href="https://t.co/OnjZ0thh6j">pic.twitter.com/OnjZ0thh6j</a></p>

<p>The video surfaced on Twitter, with people blasting the actress for making &#8220;racist&#8221; comments.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why is it ok to dismiss a white family for being white?&#8221; one person <a href="https://twitter.com/darrengrimes_/status/1654899184128892930?s=20">wrote</a>.</p>
<p>Another <a href="https://twitter.com/plivamuzlajno/status/1654921313427894274?s=20">added</a>, &#8220;Adjoa Andoh is a [racist], and obviously very proud of it. Why is [BBC] promoting racism?&#8221;</p>
<p>Another person tweeted, &#8220;How has Adjoa Andoh got away with that, if it was the other way round it would be deemed racist and all hell would let loose! [bbc] [RoyalFamily].&#8221;</p>
<p>While another wrote, &#8220;How can she get away with that? Anyone of white color would have to make a public apology. Ridiculous, just shows she&#8217;s a racist though.&#8221;</p>
<p>After the star faced some criticism, she went on the BBC and responded to the backlash, noting some people were upset with her.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think I upset a few people yesterday I was talking about the day and how marvelous it was and then looking at the balcony at the end,&#8221; Andoh said. &#8220;‘And I suddenly went &#8216;ooh, it&#8217;s so white&#8217; – because the day had been so so mixed. I didn&#8217;t mean to upset anybody, I just was…&#8221;</p>
<p>A BBC Radio 4 presenter Paddy O&#8217;Connell then interupted the actress and told her she didn&#8217;t have anything to apologize for and said &#8220;You haven&#8217;t upset anyone.&#8221;</p>
<p>And now the British Broadcasting Company is in trouble, with people saying this one broadcaster had no right to say she hadn&#8217;t upset anyone with her comments, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12059063/BBC-faces-backlash-Adjoa-Andoh-Paddy-OConnell-said-apologise-for.html">Daily Mail</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh has just tried to back track on [bbcradio4], about her comment that the Buckingham Palace balcony was &#8216;terribly white,'&#8221; one person tweeted. &#8220;And then the presenter Paddy O&#8217;Connell tells her that she&#8217;s got nothing to apologize for. Please don&#8217;t speak for me!&#8221;</p>
<p>While another tweeted, &#8220;Paddy O’Connell is an enabler. Where is the impartiality [BBCRadio4]?&#8221;</p>
