Battle against racism that slipped Meghan’s mind

AMERICA calling Europe, Sussexes calling the UK, come in London! From a cosy sofa in their £11 million mansion, Harry and Meghan have called for an end to ‘structural racism’ in Britain. Is there no end to their caring?

In an interview with London’s Evening Standard newspaper to mark the beginning of Black History Month, Prince Harry insisted that the UK can become a better country if only white people could understand more about life for those ‘of a different coloured skin’.

Harry said that even in London, which is ‘celebrated as one of the most diverse cities in the world, if you actually get out on to the streets and talk to people, it doesn’t feel as diverse as it actually is’.

Yes, well that’s as clear as mud. Not that anyone can recall Harry with a clipboard at Piccadilly Circus, quizzing passers-by on their attitudes to race. Still, he hopefully burbled on in the manner that has now become horribly familiar — using platforms, starting conversations, massive difference, yah, communities together, blah etc. etc.

He said how awful it was to walk into a shop and see nothing but ‘white dolls’, though this must have happened to him a thousand times when he walked into Boujis night club, his old haunt.

‘Structural racism’ is clearly the Sussexes’ pet peeve this week, although there is nothing on their agenda about structural class inequality, the plank upon which the Prince’s entire life is built.

They helped choose the ‘trailblazers’ for Black History Month, and when asked about their choices, Meghan said: ‘An incredible example is Baroness Lawrence. Everything she has done in memory of her son [Stephen] is creating legacy across the UK in what it means to really push for the change that is necessary.’

It is no secret this newspaper did exactly that, and campaigned for years to bring Stephen Lawrence’s killers to justice. Although it is unlikely the Sussexes will ever mention that important piece of black history in one of their pious little homilies.
