Reportedly, a member of the British royal family has caused quite a stir by giving her pet Black sheep a rather unusual name. Princess Michael of Kent, who is married to Prince Michael of Kent, has apparently named her sheep after none other than the famous tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams. This piece of news has raised many eyebrows and has been met with a fair share of side-eye glances.
For those unfamiliar with the royal family's intricate relationships, Prince Michael is the son of Prince George, the brother of King George, and the late uncle of Queen Elizabeth II. The rumor of the odd naming was first reported by US Weekly and has since gained traction, thanks to an author named Aatish Taseer. While this news has not been officially confirmed, Taseer's connections to the British royal family lend credibility to his claims. In fact, he used to date Lady Gabriella Windsor, the daughter of Princess Michael of Kent, who also happens to be the cousin of the current monarch, King Charles III. Taseer even shared this juicy tidbit during an interview on the popular podcast "Tell Me About Your Father."
During the podcast, Taseer revealed that he believes Princess Michael's choice of names for her pets is a reflection of the "weird air of abstraction" that surrounds the royals. He suggests that they may not even be aware of how shocking or offensive their actions can be. This is not the first time Taseer has spoken about this issue, as he previously wrote about Princess Michael's tendency to shock others with her actions, such as naming her black sheep after two African American athletes.
Taseer's comments have sparked immediate backlash, with many pointing out the racial origins of the names and the insensitivity of such a choice. Taseer himself has no current relationship with the British royal family, which he believes may be due to his sexuality as a gay man. He recalls the micro-aggressive, and possibly outright racist, behavior he experienced during his time with the royals.
While Taseer may view Princess Michael as a "gay icon," the podcast hosts suggest that her prejudices may hinder her from holding such a title. In fact, cohost Matt Philip even joked that she could be more marketable if she weren't "so racist." This news has once again brought attention to the ongoing issues of racism and discrimination within the royal family, and it remains to be seen how they will respond to this controversy.
