With his highly candid memoir, Spare, Harry continues to position himself in contrast to his tight-lipped, tradition-obsessed family. But the book has also revealed the limits of his willingness to fully rebel against a violent and racist institution
he was “probably bigoted” before he met Meghan, saying, “I didn’t see what I see now.” It’s telling that he didn’t take a persistent stand against the British press’s racism until the tabloids came after his wife and the problem became personal. Despite Harry’s insistence on how much he’s learned,exposes his blind spots when it comes to race and the monarchy — and how much his complaints remained focused on his own experience.
In Harry’s telling, the Commonwealth countries are a place of safety and adventure, filled with joyful memories — where he has often escaped to when things at home have been tough. He and Meghan traveled to Botswana early in their relationship and returned there for her 36th birthday. It’s worth noting that his closest friend in Africa is also a prince.
his acknowledgment of most African people only comes in the form of frustration and pity about land mines, poachers, and fighting AIDS. Similarly, over the past few weeks, Harry has made clear that he doesn’t have a problem with the institution of the British monarchy — just with how the Firm has treated him and Meghan. He writes, “My problem has never been with the monarchy, nor the concept of monarchy. It’s been with the press and the sick relationship that’s evolved between it and the Palace.” Whenif he thinks there is a place for the British monarchy in the 21st century, he responded, “I genuinely think that there is.
I think the sooner we all understand that Harry and his wife are not taking a stance against his colonialist family, but are just upset about not being able to participate in it the way they thought they would be able to... the freer we'll all be :)Meghan & Harry are doing all this, not because they want to dismantle colonialism, but because they were not accepted by it.
