Just finished ✅ watching an insightful and candid segment by @kelechnekoff and @SholaMos1, on @cnn USA, speaking from the collective experiences and angst of many #BlackBritish citizens of 🇬🇧 wrt the #HarryandMeghanonOprah interview fallout & the tepid responses from the RF /1
Their analyses is on the money 💰And I believe, they speak for a large segment of the 3.2% of Black ppl (and perhaps 🤔 some amongst the 13% of BAME populations) in 🇬🇧. What struck one ☝🏼most, from this interview was the issue of some in all the political parties /2
(especially @Conservatives) to use a sprinkling of ‘token’ BAME representations (gatekeepers) in governance to shut down the debates on the injustices, inequities and downright structural policy racism (however benignly crafted) within all levels of HM Govt. /3

After hours of fielding racist comments on #HarryandMeghanonOprah, I will now be muting or blocking anyone sending me such missives. But I want to clarify some things, since some folks are spewing disinformation based on their racism and misogyny.

The British Royal family--particularly Harry's immediate family of the Queen, Prince Phillip, Charles and William--all had the opportunity to embrace Meghan and give her full standing and love. They could have refused to repeat the harm they inflicted on Diana. They did not.

Meghan Markle is a smart, accomplished, elegant, philanthropic activist for important causes. She is a feminist and anti-racist activist. She is an obviously warm and gentle person. She was demonized to the point of suicidal ideation while she was pregnant by Harry's family.

Oh bish. @trier, gas up the jet. We need to go see about The Institution. #HarryandMeganonOprah
JESUS.
No wonder The Institution was attempting to deflect from this interview.
One thing about Oprah, she is going to ask a follow-up question. She’s been like this for most of it. And understandably so.

Meghan Markle admits to having suicidal thoughts:
"Look, I was really ashamed to have to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry especially, but I knew that if I didn't say that I would do it. I just didn't want to be alive anymore."

There is not enough that can be said about how brave this woman is.
Meghan flat out told the Royal family that she needed help with her mental health and they just said to her they "couldn't help."
The inhumanity.
The inhumanity.
The Duchess of Sussex says she and Harry will reveal the sex of their second child to @Oprah during #HarryandMeghanonOprah and reveals how shocked she was when Harry told her she’d need to curtsy to the Queen when meeting her for the first time
Meghan claims before their wedding, the Duchess of Cambridge made her cry over an altercation about flower girl dresses: “It made me cry and really hurt my feelings...She apologised and I’ve forgiven her.” They also married privately with @JustinWelby 3 days before the wedding
@oprah “Were you silent or were you silenced?” Meghan: “The latter...Nothing is like it looks like,” in the royal family. She claims people in the institution told her she couldn’t meet friends for lunch and a member of the royal family told her to “lie low” #MeghanMarkle

The arrival of #MeghanMarkle - a woman directly descended from slavery - offers an opportunity to openly discuss bigger issues of race, class & gender. Her arrival opens a window on deep-seated racial & class prejudices that run deep within society #Oprah

Thank you @CNN @PamelaBrownCNN - talking #HarryandMeghan. We don’t know what will be said with @Oprah. But the facts don’t look good: a Black woman married into the RF & then comes sexism & racism. #Meghan did what other royal women did -but she got attacked.
Lots of coverage saying interview will be damaging. Point is, what went on in 2018/19 was damaging - prejudice, racism (inc mass meltdown over Frogmore) and they had to leave. Whether she speaks about unfair coverage or not (I expect so), it is the case. #HarryandMeghanonOprah
And as I said, of course everyone must be heard about the workplace - this is vital. But where was the immediate investigation into 2019 Mail story on Andrew shouting and poss physically threatening an aide? Stories on other royals shouting too. Let alone on Andrew’s behaviour.

According to one former employee: "What people fail to understand is Harry's hatred of the media is probably one of the most important things in his life. It is defining for him. So the narrative is always – it’s the press's fault, never theirs"

Multiple royal sources say the former actress “had full control” over her media interviews and had personally forged relationships not only with Ms Winfrey, but other powerful industry figures including Vogue editor Edward Enninful
