He's either experienced a revelation or, more likely, been a sponge to soak up his partner's misguided views.

Unless parents opt their children out of the government system, all go to the same schools, get the same teachers, sit the same exams, and go for the same jobs as those around them, regardless of skin colour.

In an imperfect world some prejudice is expected to be encountered, but it's not at a major level in the UK. And reduces with every generation (unless some pressure group makes an ass of itself and sows division in society).

Not taking setbacks in your stride and using it as an excuse as to why one not to get on, must be the easier way to self validate and explain to oneself what one did/did not achieve.

The nation doesn't need this kind of inappropriate attempt to spread guilt feeling among the innocent. Especially from the privileged.
Or the Queen should take the titles from them naomi, but I doubt she will. I bet she fumes every time they do yet another smug, self satisfied video link!!
Margie, as I understand it the terms of their departure (which by speaking about politics they've broken), will be reviewed after a year. Perhaps then the title will be withdrawn. Who knows? I think the queen must be very hurt.
Great post OG.
Agree with Ladybirder. Excellent OG.

naomi, I seem to remember reading that things will be reviewed after a year. Do you know when that would be? Perhaps the Queen will wait until then before or if she takes any action with their titles.
Sussex, Naomi, not Suffolk. Chico will be choking on his cornflakes.
Thanks naomi, I didn't know that. I wish she would take their titles away, silly pair that they are! I feel sorry for the Queen the way these two behave.
Barsel, I'm not sure. Perhaps a year after the Royal's crisis meeting when it was thrashed out.
Yes, of course, Jackdaw.

Margie, I don't think they can be allowed to continue trading on their titles, but we shall see.
Indeed.
Just read this post and seen the reference to black dolls. 1987 my daughter chose a black doll from FAO Schwartz, biggest toy shop in NYC, and there were plenty to chose from
The no black dolls thing is rubbish. My wife had one 75years ago, several years before she had actually seen a black person.
I was on instagram and saw this video of the royal family on their Christmas walk and she was literally ignoring everyone until she saw Kate greeting them and accepting flowers and then she ran to the people she is such a fake I don't get how Harry can't see this or maybe he can and is just scared I feel sorry for him

Or, you know, knows her better than someone looking at an Instagram post, and genuinely loves her.
I perceive Harry as someone who has taken a long time to grow up, and is still maturing slowly.

I believe the only time he was truly happy was when he was in the army, which gave him a life as near to normal has he is ever going to experience, and allowed him to be accepted for who he was rather than what he was - and sadly that life has been taken away from him.

Now he is exploring a new life with someone he loves, who has opened his eyes to her experiences as a mixed-race woman living in modern America, and he has sincerely taken on the injustices of the world in which he lives, and I believe he genuinely wants to make a difference if he can.

What Harry fails to grasp, and again I put this down to his lack of maturity and experience, is the ability to see beyond his passion for justice, and to look at the context of his message.

Simply put - is his message about the evils of racism valid? Broadly speaking yes it is.

Will that message - delivered from a foreign country from the position of a multi-millionaire who does little if anything to justify the platform he is given, be well received by the country of his origin?

Clearly not - the message is utterly lost in the overly pious manner in which it is delivered, using ludicrous media-blah expressions because that is where his information is actually coming from.

The worst aspect that Harry clearly fails to grasp, is that his message is being received by his country of origin which is in the midst of a crisis unseen in history, and has rather more important things to worry about than being lectured to by a pampered Royal living in luxury abroad.

His motives I am sure are sincere, but his catastrophic naivety is making sure that his message goes unheard while the resentment against him grows on a daily basis - something I am sure that genuinely baffles him.

What he needs is some sensible advice on his future direction from someone who does not have a financial or self-promotional motive in offering that advice - someone who will give him a wake-up call about what and who he is, and what and who he has become, so he can change direction before the last vestiges of goodwill from the British people evaporates completely, never to return.

There is precedent here - the Royal family, and the British people, so not respond well to selfish headstrong princes who abandon their country and their family and sit abroad doing nothing but being rich and resentful - and in turn, resented.

Harry needs to listen to some good advice, and take it, before even less people take notice of him than now - and that number is dropping every single day.

You obviously had Edward VIII in mind.
I don't think Harry will listen to anyone except Meghan, not for the foreseeable future anyway.
I don't feel sorry for Harry at all, he's made his own bed and now he must lie in it!

Indeed I did - the parallels are alarming - and the end result unlikely to be very much different.
