Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing the wrath of their critics and trolls ever since they left the UK for the United States in pursuit of an independent life.
The couple has drawn criticism for moving to the US, signing a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix, asking Americans to reject hate speech and vote in the upcoming elections since their departure from the royal family.
Recently the couple called for an end to structured racism in the UK as they voiced support for young people of color.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are facing a new wave of anger following their recent statement, with Meghan becoming the prime target of social media trolls.
In their latest attack on the former actress, several people have called the Duchess of Sussex a narcissist after she praised the “Black Lives Matter” movement.
“Woke narcissist Meghan Markle praises #Blacklivesmatter,” said a Twitter user while commenting on a new item.
Another wrote, “And why she calls them and thanks them for their support? Not a mention to them to tone down their rhetoric. Interesting isn’t it. You can tell Meghan Markle is a Narcissist bcos she uses triangulation, it’s never her fault, ever.”
Raising their voice for the young people of color, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has called for an end to “structural racism” in the UK.
In an interview with Evening Standard, the royal couple said the young people of colour would be held back “as long as structural racism exists”.
“I’ve had an awakening of my own because I wasn’t aware of so many of the issues and so many of the problems within the UK and also globally as well. I thought I did but I didn’t,” he said during the Zoom interview from their home in California,
“You know, when you go in to a shop with your children and you only see white dolls, do you even think, ‘That’s weird, there is not a black doll there?,” said the 36-year-old.
He added, “and I use that as just one example of where we as white people don’t always have the awareness of what it must be like for someone else of a different coloured skin, of a black skin, to be in the same situation as we are where the world that we know has been created by white people for white people.”
The couple said they wanted their “passion and commitment” to still be felt despite the physical distance between the US and UK. —AP
