#78: What’s wrong with The Queen being exempt from race & gender equality laws?

<p>The ladies discuss recent revelations that Buckingham Palace banned “coloured immigrants and foreigners” from working in office roles in the royal household until at least the late 1960s and that the Queen is still exempt from race and gender equality laws (meaning that individuals working for her household cannot launch legal complaints regarding discrimination in the UK courts), and ask why the Queen gets to be above the law and whether it’s enough to uphold the spirit of the law when there are no legal consequences for discriminatory acts.
