Princess Michael of Kent who once apologised after wearing a racist brooch, at a lunch attended by Meghan Markle has declared she and her husband have retired from public life very soon.

The Queen’s first cousin was photographed wearing the piece of jewellery, which is reported to be a blackamoor brooch, as she arrived for a Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.

Husband Prince Michael, a fluent Russian speaker, business connections to the Kremlin came under scrutiny when Putin invaded Ukraine in February.

He has since severed ties with Moscow, handing back a Russian Order of Friendship award and stepping down as patron of the Russo-British Chamber of Commerce.

However, he is believed to have retained his status as ambassador and shareholder of money transfer firm RemitRadar led by ex-KGB officer Sergey Markov, reported The Telegraph.

Here are some reactions to the news:

She opened the swimming pool near me 30 years ago, couldn't have looked more bored and disdainful. Should have packed it in long ago or better still, got a proper job. You found that boring? Try data inputting

The Times are reporting that Prince & Princess Michael of Kent are retiring from public life. It’s after a #dispatches investigation appeared to show the Prince was willing to use his royal status for profit & to provide access to President Putin’s regimehttps://t.co/GlfUOxN2gy https://t.co/dIQqQ1h7Ni

That’s nice. I hope Princess Michael of Kent is never photographed again, and she can take that racist Blackamoor brooch when her. https://t.co/Ts2fC8OZ6z pic.twitter.com/gm7PHh8Rhh
