I get what you’re saying. That Archie not being a prince is due to protocol and not race. In that case, I hope and pray, for Meghan’s sake that she’s telling the truth. But surely, Harry, should also be aware of these procedures, as a noble person and thoroughly understand his family history. If he is just mischief making, then it’s totally out of order. However, the royals do not get to quietly walk away from this. Harry’s ancestor Elizabeth I, played an important role in establishing the slave trade and throughout the reign of Charles II, he also invested heavily in the African slave trade. According to the activist Peter Tatchell, ‘the monarchy will only ever accommodate white monarchs’, therefore making the institution racist. From what I’ve been reading in today’s papers, the matters raised in the Harry and Meghan interview will be dealt with privately but there is concern that things will continue as it has done for centuries, uninterrupted.
