Did you see where Prince Harry said something to the effect of him not wanting history to "repeat itself" regarding the death of his mother ?
Hmmmm yeah but I don't think Markle is a target like that. She was a target for racists though, and institutionalized/internalized racism. That's been a problem for years, I think the thing that makes American's more sympathetic toward them is that for a long time England was part of the countries of the world that seemed to take a critical eye on the very public problem of racism and race in America with a almost smug attitude of "well
we are not like
them". I'm referring more towards the media and English popular media celebrities who made sweeping generalizations about the American race problem without knowing much about the history or
caring to know. Then you have the academic racists such as David Starkey... ahem.
Harry may have known about this
"Us vs Them" attitude, and perhaps it disgusted him that his brother would make grand gestures of humanitarian relief and help in other countries while doing very little real work toward creating actual change toward equality in their own. It's easier to keep the problems in Africa and Asia whilst ignoring the racism in your back yard.
Harry is like his mother in this regard, and his mother was very much like her distant cousin Winston Churchill. They spoke their mind, said it plainly and was not very popular with the status quo. Harry was very tactful during the interview in that he did not disclose who had the conversation with him regarding the skin color of his children, but the simple fact of having such a conversation exist is mind boggling for some, but for others it's not a surprise at all. This is racism. A fear of someone looking different from the others, and the realization that such difference means they will not have the same experiences as the others had in the family. I'm not sure how many black children attend Eton, and I'd like to think Eton is open to all races, but the "old boy's clubs" may not be as receptive to mixed race members. (I hope that makes sense).
Whoever had that conversation with Harry knew this, and they (Harry and the other person) mutually knew it as that is why Harry refuses to say anything because it would destroy this person's already fragile reputation. (My bets are that his father made this remark as it seems like a very Charles' style comment based on how historically Charles spoke to his sons and late wife. *eyeroll* It would also make sense too, I don't think William may have said it but if he did, what did it matter tbh William is just mini Charles now) He shared it with Megan because it hurt deep but he also knew she needed to wake up to the reality that there are people in his family who do NOT like her, first because she's American, second because she's black. She represents something they are not willing to have in the "family".
Harry could have gone with the castle pick for him. Chelsea drove a hard game, and he had a long relationship with her throughout his youth and uni days and into his military career. However, Harry was not faithful to her, and vice versa it was toxic on both sides. Instead of helping him out of his web of mental health problems that existed since his childhood, she just kept him enmeshed in them and pushed him deeper into the web of deceit. The thing with Meghan is she doesn't need Harry. She never needed him. She was her own person before he came along, and thanks to her mother and her own strength has been able to pull Harry out of that mess. Moving to America, back to LA is probably the best thing for both of them at this time. To say she "controls" him is utter bullshit, he's attracted to her independence. He wants that for himself, he hungers after that, and he's had a taste of it here in America. It's a sweet, sweet thing to have real freedom to be who you want to be, how you want to be. (And yes I know this site is not favorable to LA but compared to what he left the USA is a far better prospective) Yet, even here, he is guarded in his words. That comes from years of being careful but also maybe a longing to not lose touch with those he deeply cares for still in the UK.
