EXCLUSIVE: Royal expert Jennie Bond has told OK! that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle accepting a prestigious human rights award is a 'rude and hurtful dig' at the Royal Family
Royal expert Jennie Bond has exclusively told OK! that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle accepting the Ripple of Hope award is a "rude and hurtful dig" at the Royal Family.
"Meghan and Harry receiving this award makes me feel quite queasy, actually. I think that accepting this award by definition accuses the Royal Family of racism yet again - structural racism this time." She continued: "They welcomed Meghan, who has dual heritage, into the family. They welcomed her mother, Doria, and showed her the utmost courtesy at the wedding and in photographs alongside the Queen and Archie."
She added: "It's very brazen of them to have accepted the award. I understand that there are limited options of what you can do after being presented with an honorary award . Should they have refused it? Or say it's not appropriate? It's hard to say, but overall, it's a really sad situation."
