Black voices matter. How else will we understand racism?

It’s been a week since Meghan and Harry said a definite farewell to royal life by renouncing their HRH titles. Harry has gone off to join his wife and son in Canada, where it’s likely they’ll now spend most of their time. So, that’s that then, deal sealed, job done, we can all shut up about it and get on with our lives.

Eh, not so fast…

They may have left the country, but the whole sorry saga continues to dominate the national conversation.

It’s a complicated business, but, basically, there are two camps – those who believe Meghan was bullied out of Britain by racists, and those who claim she is a ruthless social climber who is using Harry as a pawn in an elaborate global rebranding exercise.

The debate reached fever pitch during Question Time when actor Laurence Fox, best known for being Billie Piper’s ex-husband, insisted: “It’s not racism… We’re the most tolerant, lovely country in Europe.”

This, coming from a white privileged male, was too much for many and he has spent most of this week batting off a barrage of criticism.

I’m not sure what camp I’m in, I can see both sides, but I feel very strongly that, unless you are an ethnic minority, you probably don’t have much experience in the matter.

That’s why it’s so important for women like this week’s cover star Jean Johansson to have their say and, more importantly, for us to listen.

So I’ll leave the last word to her. The Scottish TV presenter tells us on pages 6&7: “Hopefully the message people will take away is that we need to think about how we talk about women and people of colour.”
