A scathing accusation has been directed at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, accusing them of missing a golden opportunity to showcase Britain’s progress in tackling racism.
The renowned journalist and former London Assembly Chairman, Sir Trevor Phillips, did not mince his words as he criticized the Sussex pair for constructing what he described as a ludicrous narrative about their mistreatment.
Speaking on the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the Windrush generation in the UK from the Caribbean, Sir Trevor highlighted the significant societal changes that Britain has undergone since then.
Expressing his disappointment in Meghan and Harry’s approach, he believed they could have been a beacon of discovery and reconciliation, not only for Britain but for the global community.
Sir Trevor firmly asserted that the couple had a perfect platform to demonstrate the progress made in racial matters in the UK.
However, he contended that they squandered this opportunity by crafting a narrative of victimhood and mistreatment.
Disputing their allegations against the British royals, which led to their departure from Britain to California, Sir Trevor emphasized that their claims of mistreatment based on race were not widely believed or supported.
According to Sir Trevor, Meghan and Harry had the potential to make a substantial impact by showcasing the inclusive and accepting nature of the country.
Instead, he lamented that they chose to perpetuate a story that he deemed groundless and distasteful.
He expressed deep disappointment in their actions, going as far as to label them as unforgivable and even a sin.
Sir Trevor strongly believed that Meghan and Harry possessed the power to be agents of change, advocates for progress, and champions of inclusivity.
However, he criticized their decision to propagate what he viewed as a baseless and negative narrative.
In his eyes, they missed an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of millions of people by highlighting the progress and inclusivity of the country.
The criticism towards Meghan and Harry’s approach did not stop there.
