Award for shy couple
A PUBLICITY-SHY couple are to be honoured with a humanitarian award for their “heroic” stand against the Royal Family.
The modest pair will receive their gong for speaking out against “structural racism” at the Ripple of Hope Gala in New York.
It will be presented by organiser Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of late US politician Robert Kennedy.
The couple are expected to attend the December 6 bash, where seats at their table will be sold for up to £840,000.
Kerry, 63, said: “They went to the oldest institution in UK history and told them what they were doing wrong, that they couldn’t have structural racism within the institution; that they could not maintain a misunderstanding about mental health.
“Few would have the courage to question their colleagues, family and community about the power structure they maintained.”
She said they had always been aware “there would be consequences”.
Her comments are likely to drive a fresh wedge between the ginger bloke and his dad King Charles.
