To enter the world of fame means every single action
will be taken in consideration to the whole world and humanity. Your life
either the private or the public one will always be on the tongue of people.
Therefore, any step will impact and will be impacted highly
especially when it comes to humanity related subjects. So, what if the talk is
about the Royal Family and the new-old rules towards the other color?
Late months of the last year, it was announced that
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle had the decision to leave behind London
and move over to Windsor in a wish to have more privacy and security.
Back
when Meghan and Harry first stepped back from their royal duties, Queen
Elizabeth gave them one year review period where they can come back into the
fold if they desired.
But,
it was obvious that they have officially decided to leave the castle and their
affairs for good. Reasons are many behind leaving the fantasy and the elegance
of the Royal Castle but a main top reason will always dominate:
"Racism"
It
was told by Prince Harry in an interview with Oprah Winfery that Racism is a
large part of why the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex left the UK.
Back when Meghan and Harry first stepped back
from their royal duties, the Queen gave a review period. Basically, they’d have
one year to live their lives away from the royals, but could choose to come
back into the fold if they desired.
Back in
2020
Over the Black Lives Matter, the royal's
family kept on silence and did not take any movement. Duke Harry also claimed
that he was warned by a friend who is close with British editors that the
couple would face racist treatment.
An action has be taken by the Duke and the
Duchess of Sussex where they engaged with numerous anti-racism organizations
and spoke freely about the death of Georges Floyd while others who represent the monarchy never spoke up.
Add to that, an identified member expressed concerns over how dark the son Archie's skin of this couple would be. However, it is disgraceful how humanity goes so far with technology and achievements and still having this bad idea on people's skin color.
Thus, the idea that the Duke made the
interview clearly and talked all about the open doors of the Royal family means
that things went to the edge of patience and it is the time to put points on
letters and end up the suffer.
Moreover, numerous bombshells about the entire
experience in the Royal Castle were spilled by the Duke and the Duchess and
more stories to come.
Stories of Ancient Racism in the Royal Family
In contrast, Prince William- Harry brother
answers differently during a visit to a school in Stratford, east London when
he was asked by a reporter: "Is the Royal Family a
racist family, sir?" The duke replied: "We're very much not a racist
family."
Then he was asked if he had a conversation
with his brother since the interview with Oprah, Prince William said: "No,
I haven't spoken to him yet but I will do."
Returning back to old years of the Royal
family, in 1562, Queen Elizabeth I was involved in Britain's slave trade in
1500s when she approved Captain John Hawkins who captured 300 Africans and
exchanged them for sugar, ginger and hides.
Then- the story of Abdul Kareem- the Indian
attendant of Queen Victoria, the royal household tried many things to unsettle
him during to his skin color and they succeeded after the Queen's death.
The story completes its way to our recent days
however; Royal family members are ignoring all the accusations of racism since
as recently as June 2020 when Queens Elizabeth II failed to respond to the
accusation that the royal honors medal
is "highly offensive" and resembles the killing of Floyd.
Furthermore, some members of the Royal Family
have been taken responsibilities behind their own behavior towards racism
issues.
For
example, in 2005 when Prince Harry was 20 years old made a torrent of national and international criticism of his appearance
at a fancy dress party dressed in a Nazi costume complete with swastika armband
"It
was a poor choice of costume and I apologize," Harry said at the time,
according to The New York Times. Later on in 2009 he
issued another apology saying he was extremely sorry for using a racial slur to
address his military friend.
Also,
Princess Michael of Kent claimed another apology concerning the racism thing
after she wore a racist brooch to have lunch with Meghan Markle.
Meanwhile,
Duke of Edinburgh-Queen Elizabeth's husband who is known for his sense of humor
but he often made remarks during royal engagements that landed him in hot
water.
He
told the President of Nigeria that he looked ready for bed when he wore a
national dress when he met Prince Philip in 2003. Not only this but he compared
Ethiopian art to the costume of a daughter would bring back from school art
lessons back in 1965.
Racism
doesn’t stop with black skin, once a British student went for a visit to China;
the Duke told him that he will return back to Britain with slitty eyes if he
stayed longer in China.
Some apologies came out of the Palace to the
public and others were kept in charge to find the right occasion to throw the
beans and this is shown with Meghan Markle.
End UP
Racism in our words it is a belief
that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities but it
may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other
people because they are of a different race or ethnicity.
No one has the right to fight or lower any one
according to his skin color, religion or way of living because we are all here
to emit a letter of humanity to the humanity.
