Opinion Harry and Meghan: the best parody of progressives since comedy was cancelled
Netflix series went to air, the popular tide has turned decisively against “H&M” . In what must surely be recognised as Services to Conservatism, the couple have created the best parody of progressives since comedy was cancelled.
Harry and Meghan have a way of taking big, important topics, such as racism, misogyny and bullying, and making them small, petty and personal. That grates, because it offends against our sense that those who receive much have a reciprocal debt to society.When Harry married Meghan she was enthusiastically feted as an independent woman and a woman of colour – and the Sussexes make sure we see how popular she was. She was a huge “get” for the royal family. A mixed-race woman becoming a royal was a symbol that the monarchy of the British Empire had transformed into the monarchy of Commonwealth representation.
Sure enough, Harry and Meghan have a way of taking big, important topics, such as racism, misogyny and bullying, and making them small, petty and personal. From a position of immense privilege, they claim with dubious evidence to be victims and the champions of victims, but in doing so they diminish the power of the accusations and undermine people who need these terms to still mean something.
