“If I eat avocado, I’m an environmental destroyer”… Markle’s revelation

It seems that the suspicion of racism by the British royal family against Queen Meghan Markle (39), a mixed-race American, is spreading to the truth studio. Markle further revealed that the royal family consistently discriminated against other family members despite the media’s indiscriminate reports directed at him, but the British media criticized his claim as being erroneous.

On the 8th (local time), in an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, additionally aired by CBS in the United States, Markle said that he had been discriminated against by the British media and the royal family.

He compared the British press to the’Wild West’, a lawless western era, saying, “My news was treated as noise, and negative content about me spread like a flame.” He said, “The royal family had a media response department, but for our couple, it was unfamiliar.”

In particular, unlike Kate Middleton’s son-in-law, King Se Son-bin said that harsh reports were poured out only on himself. “If Middleton eats avocado, he is praised, but if I eat it, he becomes an’environmental destroyer’,” he said. “Some of the royal family will comfortably say,’We have to endure all rudeness.’ But rudeness and racism are not the same. “I pinched.

Prince Harry also complained about the media. In particular, he claimed that although his wife suffered invasion of privacy and various personal attacks by tabloid newspapers, no one in the royal family raised the issue. The family, who should serve as a shield, treated Markle as an invisible person.

“That was a big part,” he said to Winfrey’s question of whether he left England because of racism. “If the royal family admitted racism against Markle, the situation would have changed dramatically.”

British society is also fluctuating over the revelations of Prince Harry and his wife. However, there are more negative evaluations than favorable public opinion.

The British media is taking a critical stance, claiming that the couple’s interviews are in error. On the same day, the British Daily The Times reported that two differences were found in the interviews with the couple.

First of all, he pointed out that Archie, the son of Prince Harry and Markle, cannot be called a prince in the first place, not because of’skin color’. This is because the title of’Prince’ is given only to the first son of the eldest son of the crown prince in accordance with the royal decree promulgated in 1917. In the edict revised in 2012 by Queen Elizabeth II, he said that titles were given only to the children of the eldest son of the crown prince.

It also refuted Markle’s claim that Archie was not being recognized as a prince and was not being protected by the royal family. Even princes and princesses often do not receive official protection. The two daughters of Prince Andrew, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, presented as a prime example that they were not escorted by the London Police Department.

Rather, he pointed out that Prince Harry and his wife did not want Archie to be given the title of’Count Dumberton’.

Public opinion is also cold. According to Sky News in the UK that day, 47% of the 2111 adults said that the interview was inappropriate, more than double that of the response. 33% also said they could not relate.

British politics seem to be conscious of the royal family. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson avoided answering questions about the conflict between Prince Harry and the royal family on that day, saying, “I haven’t talked about the royal affairs for a long time.” “Racial discrimination is a very serious problem,” said Kier Starmer, the leader of the No. 1 opposition party, the Labor Party. The British royal family hasn’t made much of a stance until dawn on the 9th.

On the other hand, public opinion about Markle is pouring out around the world. According to the Associated Press, the interview, which was released through CBS on the 7th, was watched live by 17 million people in the United States alone. Immediately after the broadcast, various social media articles were poured out in support of the Prince Harry and his wife and criticizing the British royal family.

CNN reported that there was even a movement to re-initiate the’Black Lives Matter’ (BLM) movement by solidarity between black American women in the racist treatment that Markle suffered in the royal family. “The royal family missed the greatest opportunity for change, reform, and reconciliation in a new era,” said Amanda Gorman, who recited her inauguration at US President Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony. They didn’t just ignore Markle’s light; I missed it,” he pointed out.
