The English royal family is not English. They're German, Greek, and a whole bunch of other things, but there's not been an actual English (like primarily Anglo-Saxon descended royal) for a long time.

This is true, lots of German especially, although I think Queen Elizabeth actually is half English, because of her mother isn't she? But they're still not required to have a black or POC in their family. I just remember reading when their engagement was first announced some article stating it was "past time" to have a minority in the royal family. Why? Would they say the same thing about the Japanese Imperial family, for instance? What about any royal family from an African country?

Nope.... no one is required to have anyone in their family.

And of course they wouldn't say the same about royals from any other country.
