A fast have a look at the platform present’s there’s no point out of the Archewell founders, not even within the Team QCT part. They’re additionally not talked about below “organizations we support.” On the one hand, that is sensible. They’re now not concerned, in order that they don’t should be listed. But no recognition of their work in any respect? It’s kinda harsh! Also, there’s an in depth clarification of what the Commonwealth is — which appears extremely pointed contemplating Harry and Meghan selected to assault the British Commonwealth of their Netflix docuseries!
While the TV present spent most of its time recounting the couple’s love story and slamming their estranged family, there was a prolonged part in episode three that blasted the sophisticated historical past of the Commonwealth. At one level, author and broadcaster Afua Hirsch described the institutional racism that has been current within the UK for many years, saying:
“Britain calculated that it needed to grant these countries independence in a way that protected its commercial and capitalist interest. So it created this privileged club called the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is still described as a club of friends who share common values. I find that language really problematic. I sometimes call the Commonwealth ‘Empire 2.0’ because that is what it is.”
Similarly, Harry and Meghan have each been outspoken in regards to the racism Meghan and their kids handled earlier than departing the establishment, each from their family and the British media. So, it doesn’t seem to be a coincidence that after placing the Commonwealth on blast simply two months in the past, the very group meant to advertise the allegiance would erase the previous leaders from their historical past books as retaliation!

But some royal consultants have additionally referred to as the couple’s assault on the Commonwealth into query. During a December episode of Palace Confidential, Daily Mail‘s Diary Editor Richard Eden said the couple was “lucky” Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t round to listen to what they needed to say about their household’s legacy, arguing:
“It’s almost lucky that Queen Elizabeth isn’t alive to see this because the Commonwealth was so central to her and bringing people together. It’s a voluntary organization whereas [in the documentary], it’s dismissed as this colonial body used for Britain to extract money and resources from the rest of the world. She would have been horrified.”
The Mail on Sunday‘s Editor at Large Charlotte Griffith added:
“They were planning to do all of this thinking that The Queen would be alive to see it […] Thank God she didn’t.”
The greater problem, in Charlotte’s opinion, was the very fact the Suits alum’s opinion on the Commonwealth “seems to have changed dramatically” now that she’s been within the royal household for a number of years. When host Jo Elvin recalled how “excited” the previous actress was to go to the Commonwealth international locations throughout her engagement interview in 2018, Charlotte clapped again:
“So she hadn’t done any research [about the Commonwealth’s troublesome past] before getting married? Is that what’s she saying? And now she’s done her research? That’s inconsistent with who Meghan is as a person, she’s obviously a very well-researched person. I just think her whole stance on the Commonwealth has changed dramatically, maybe she fully believes what Afua is saying. I don’t know but it’s a pretty hard line [to take].”
Hmm. Charlotte appears to be suggesting Harry and Meghan have solely modified their tune now that they’re feuding with their household. Could that be true? Or did Meghan’s opinions actually change as soon as she was part of The Firm — and skilled some injustices herself?? Either means, the very fact there’s no point out of them on the positioning definitely looks like a dig! Thoughts?! What’s your tackle the revamped web site?? Let us know (beneath)!
