Much of what I wanted to say has been said far more eloquently by Sugarfoot Jack - busy now, but for the time being - this is not about the hatred of a family, it's about a public figure drawing from the public purse who indulges in racist abuse and behaviour. That his victim didn't take offence (complaining about a member of the Royal family would have helped his army career no end, I'm sure) is beside the point, HRH's (and other family members') racist behaviour has given offence to other Asians, and , no doubt, a shot in the arm to fellow racists.
No, I don't know if The Royals are racist, I do know that their behaviour suggests that they are, and it's my experience that if it quacks and waddles it's probably a duck.
My experience also tells me that you don't have to scratch an apologist for racism too deeply to find a real racist.
