LONDON: UK leader Henry Bolton parted ways with his model girlfriend Jo Marney as she made a racially-discriminatory remark against Prince Harry’s fiancée Meghan Markle recently.

The UK Independence Party leader faced the challenge of being removed from office if he continued his relationship with Jo.

According to the British media, Jo said in a statement that Meghan’s entry into the Royal Family would “pave the way for a black king.”

She further went on to add that “Prince Harry’s black American fiancée will taint the Royal Family with her seed”.

On various other occasions, Jo was quoted as calling black people “ugly”. Jo, although didn’t hold an official position in the party, lost her membership that was suspended right away.

Meghan Markle who is all set to become royalty, will marry Prince Harry this May. She has been quite vocal about her African-American heritage in the past which many criticized and attacked openly.
