It looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might never step foot in the UK again as they are surely but slowly become the most hated royals in the monarchy’s history. At least that’s what it looks like from the outside in. Britain’s government Sunday rallied to the defense of the beleaguered royal family after a new racism row and explosive Netflix documentary. Here’s what you need to know.
Following recent trips overseas, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said he would catch up first on Netflix hit Stranger Things in preference to the tell-all programme of Prince Harry and wife Meghan. But he stressed there was no stronger supporter of a multicultural Britain than King Charles III, Harry’s father.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Might Never Step Foot In The UK Again: Most Hated Royals?
“And I think the royal family’s attitude to this country reflects the modern country that we see,” Cleverly told Sky News. “That’s my personal experience. But I also think that that is something that the whole world sees when they look at us.”
However, a UK charity at the center of the latest royal racism controversy says it has suspended work supporting black survivors of domestic abuse after a torrent of toxic hate. Sistah Space founder Ngozi Fulani, who is British, was asked repeatedly at a Buckingham Palace reception in November where she was “really” from. Since revealing the exchange with Susan Hussey, 83, a godmother to Harry’s brother Prince William, Fulani has been targeted by what she called “horrific” racist insults online.
In a statement late Friday, she said that as a result, Sistah Space had been “forced to temporarily cease” many of its operations to protect clients and staff. Lady Hussey resigned from her role as a palace courtier after the row, and Prince William’s spokesperson condemned the interrogation of Fulani as “unacceptable.”
