We used to admire Prince Harry. The man was an Apache helicopter commander who did a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Ever since marrying Meghan Markle, though, Harry has decided to take a step back from all of that royalty jazz and take up philanthropy. His wife also reportedly talked him into making a video for the Diana Award in which he apologizes for his generation not making the world what it ought to be, and that’s free of institutional racism.
We’re guessing Her Majesty cut off the royal funds or something so Harry had to shoot this hostage video on a flip-phone.

We wonder if they talked to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about his multiple appearances in blackface while they were living in their palatial mansion in Canada.
What a wuss…????

I am so confused. We have a man who has butlers telling a load of people who've never owned any that his wife who is a multi-millionaire former A list celebrity who married into one of the UK's oldest institutions that we need to be more aware of systemic oppression.

His opening line "my wife says" sums him up really

Seeing this I have been enlightened, I must now publicly address my unconscious bias and apologise. I never trusted gingers. I'm so very sorry.

I really hope someone at Buckingham Palace reads the comments under this badly misjudged video, then removes the last of his titles and responsibilities. He’s embarassing.

Never known a guy go from being so popular and likeable and seemed very down to earth, to turn into such a self righteous knob… really sad in a way

Translation : The source of all privilege and inequality is CLASS, not race. But we would prefer you cattle not to discuss this. If you ever united against the privileged classes we'd be in big trouble. This is why we invented identity politics. Kindly keep on dividing yourselves

He gets the irony in this right? His ancestors the crown are responsible for colonization and systemic racism world wide and he should sit down nobody wants to hear from entitled blood lines.

Well thank you for enlightening me to all the failings I have carried with me as baggage since the day of my birth.
No not really, like so many my family were neither privileged, nor racist, unconsciously or otherwise.
If there's something unconscious going on look at yourself
