This is another case of 'heart' over 'head'. The monarchy, over hundreds of years, defines the prescribed status in our society. Who is the most important, down to the least. It can be argued that the Monarchy is the king pin in holding this structure together. And then blow me down, Meghan and Harry break all the rules. It would be a tragedy of medieval proportions if we did have our first monarch with African blood, (and very little royal blood at all if the truth be told.) This is why I am a republican because it's much nicer to wish them all well, and thank them for a job well done, as they move into their council house, rather than rekindle the Richard III spirit.
Saturday the 19th of May probably did more for racial harmony, equality, and shared values, than all the government programmes put together. Millions of people around the world will have heard Rev Michael Curry speaking about love. Even cynical me has looked up NPR.com and read every word from the bishop's mouth . The Right Rev Michael Curry spoke the gospel truth. He also spoke from his priviaged position as a black American, fully enfranchised to talk about forgiveness in love. He spoke from an inclusive platform, using no jargon.
I said I wasn't interested.
