Duchess of Sussex brought hopes of progress, but many now question whether royal reform is ever possible
os Griffiths, a 57-year-old community organiser in London, was initially hopeful when Meghan Markle married into the British royal family. She regarded their wedding and Meghan’s initial acceptance into the family as a step in the right direction for the institution.
Griffiths, who was a teenager when she witnessed the Brixton riots in 1981 and has campaigned against racism for decades, described Meghan’s treatment by the royal family as the opening of Pandora’s box: “I just think that if they’re going to live off the public purse, they’ll have to be doing more than just going to a few events and shaking hands. We really need to question the relevance of the monarchy in today’s society. We need to have the grown up conversation about race and their role.
She did not believe that the palace’s alleged racist incidents were down to ignorance alone, she said. “Where ignorance happens, there is a chance for learning and change, and it doesn’t seem like that has happened. If anything, it seems like it’s got worse.
