Harry & Megan: Are You Kidding?

Greetings everyone.  I have something to say about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I’m talking of course about Prince Harry and Megan Markle.

         Forgive my attempt at a British accent. More specifically, Queen Elizabeth’s accent. I do want to talk about Harry and Megan.

        When I first heard that a black actress from Los Angeles was going to marry into Britain’s royal family, I was ecstatic. Fairy tales do come true. I wondered what effect she would have on the Royals and the effect they would have on her. Apparently, it wasn’t good for either side.

        Now Megan and Harry are abdicating their royal duties, moving to Canada and striking out on their own to have a more peaceful life. Are they crazy? Most people would want to be in their shoes. They want to be like the rest of us, having jobs, paying their bills, getting stuck in traffic, flying commercial airliners, and calling the plumber. Will baby Archie be in day care? They are just throwing away the palaces, world travel, limos and the gold carriages.

        Okay, I get it. Megan has had a rough time. The British press has been racist, her in-laws have been frosty and so the dashing Harry basically left his family for the woman he loves. But it hasn’t even been two years. They couldn’t wait a little bit longer to see how things work out.

         Well, I hope it will all work out for them.  But it sure was nice to see a beautiful black American woman holding little bi-racial Archie, while talking with his great grandmother, the Queen of England!

        See you next time.
