Re: Diana

Speaking from a personal point of view, Harry said: 'My wife said recently that our generation and the ones before us haven't done enough to wipe the wrongs of the past. I too am sorry.

'Sorry that we haven't got the world to the place where you deserve it to be. Institutional racism has no place in our societies, yet it is still endemic.

'Unconscious bias must be acknowledged without blame to create a better world for all of you. I want you to know that we are committed to being part of the solution and to being part of the change that you are all leading. Now is the time and we know that you can do it.'


Racism might be endemic in his world but it certainly isn't in mine.
And if it hadn't been for the wrongs of the past (which weren't wrong at the time) he and his family wouldn't be where they are today...He should be careful what he wishes for......

He should consider the class divide while on the subject of racism....

Me too.

I used to read the Mail regularly online, but now I read the Express instead, for several reasons!

Harry should shut up.
His family connections were among the greatest slave owners

Only went on a trial of one of those site once, it asked me to put my fathers name in and place of birth, his name was not very common so, expected maybe 2-3 results, actually got 53,000, never bothered since.

Re: Diana

Forgot to add LQ, it required his DOB as well. I went through the first 32,700 then got fed up.
