Meghan and Harry interview raises issue of race in Commonwealth countries

LA Times  

In countries with historic ties to the U.K., allegations by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, that someone in the royal household had “concerns” over their unborn baby’s skin color have raised a thorny question: Do those nations really want to be so closely connected to Britain and its reigning family anymore? “After the end of the queen’s reign, that is the time for us to say: ‘OK, we’ve passed that watershed,’” Turnbull told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. “Do we really want to have whoever happens to be the head of state, the king or queen of the U.K., automatically our head of state?” The value of the Commonwealth has been debated before, with critics questioning whether countries and peoples once colonized — and even oppressed — should remain in such an association with a former colonizer. Buckingham Palace said Tuesday that the allegations of racism by Harry and Meghan were “concerning” and would be addressed privately by the royal family. “I don’t know why we are still a part of it.” In Kingston, Jamaica, a retired professor said Meghan and Harry’s complaints of racism showed that it was time for her country to end its relationship with the royal family.
