Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Call for Structural Racism to End

October 11, 2020, 03.08 PM

However, the Sussexes have faced accusations in the British media that they are not respecting the tradition that the royal family does not comment on political matters.

Last week, they encouraged Americans to vote in the November presidential election, with Prince Harry saying it was "vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity".

Critics said his comments could be understood as a call to vote against US President Donald Trump. Buckingham Palace said the remarks represented Harry's personal views.

The paper said Harry had accepted in the interview that their views "may seem controversial".

In June, Meghan, 39, said she was sorry that children had to grow up in a world where racism still existed and that events in the United States after the death of George Floyd were "devastating".

Asked about the ongoing Black Lives Matters protests, Meghan Markle told the paper they had been inflammatory for a lot of people, but added: "When there is just peaceful protest and when there is the intention of just wanting community and just wanting the recognition of equality, then that is a beautiful thing".
