'No coloured immigrants' | Queen & Buckingham Palace at centre of equality & hiring revelations

The Queen and Buckingham Palace have found themselves at the centre of what could be an explosive row over what is the ‘bread and butter’ of most modern HR departments.

According to Guardian reporting, the Queen’s courtiers reportedly banned “coloured immigrants or foreigners” from being recruited into clerical positions in Buckingham Palace until at least the 1960s, documents from The National Archives have suggested.

It is also suggested, in what may shock current practitioners, that, according to reports, the Queen remains exempt from specific equality laws which protect from discrimination at work.
