Prince Harry Slags Off British Commonwealth

I don't see how this guy can ever show his face again back in the UK. This halfwit doesn't really understand the difference between the old British Empire and the purpose of the Commonwealth. Plus he and his family live this life of luxury because of the old Empire. The Royal Family are the ultimate beneficiaries of white privlidge.
Prince Harry today faced criticism after he appeared to take a swipe at the British Empire by saying the history of the Commonwealth 'must be acknowledged', even if it's 'uncomfortable'.
The Duke of Sussex, 35, made the comment as he joined wife Meghan Markle, 38, for a video call with young leaders from the Queen's Commonwealth Trust last week that was made public today.
In the most recent call Harry turned his attention to the Commonwealth, which emerged out of the decolonisation of the British Empire in the first half of the 20th century. Almost all of the 54 Commonwealth territories were once part of the Empire.
The Queen remains head of the Commonwealth and in 2018 Harry's father Prince Charles was announced as her successor.
Some Twitter users questioned Harry's understanding of the history of the Commonwealth, arguing it was established to atone for the mistakes of the Empire. Others said the Commonwealth nations should be empowered to resolve their issues independently, rather than as part of a collective movement.
Harry also admitted he has his own unconscious bias. He said: 'We can't deny or ignore the fact that all of us have been educated to see the world differently.
'However, once you start to realise that there is that bias there, then you need to acknowledge it, you need to do the work to become more aware ... so that you can help stand up for something that is so wrong and should not be acceptable in our society today.'

In a few years when he splits with his current wife, Harry will work up some tears of regret when he tries to sidle back into his old gig.

This guy has the biggest case of being p*ssy whipped ever

His wife has to be spoon feeding him this. First he insults the family by breaking a long standing tradition that a Royal shouldn’t marry someone else’s sloppy seconds, then he publicly humiliates him. If he wasn’t the second born son, we’d have another Edward VIII on our hands.

He's a redheaded soy boy who bravely married a half black woman! He is denouncing his royal family because he is brave! Bravely SOY!!

I guaranty there is a split in the future.

He made the mistake of marrying an American feminist, and these are presumably her ideas. He doesn’t appear to hold much power in the relationship, so you have episodes like this.
He seemed like a good guy, his service in the armed forces was admirable, so it’s sad, and I would say that about anyone in his position. Perhaps they’ll divorce one day and he can find his freedom.

So he’s basically become the Kaepernick of the royal family..

Women really are responsible for destroying empires arent they? One of our oldest stories about Troy has a woman (Helen) being the downfall of Troy.

What exactly did he say was wrong with the Commonwealth?
The modern version was established to foster continued peaceful and cooperative relations between the UK and its dominions, and to facilitate the latter's growth into modern states. Every nation in it is there by choice, and it includes nations that were never a part of the British Empire. Similarly, some of Britain's former colonies/possessions are not members.
What negative history does the Commonwealth even have? It doesn't really act as a body in international affairs outside of humanitarian efforts and hosting cricket tournaments.
I have always wondered what this means. Is there a single person alive who is aware of the British's Empire and its history yet does not 'acknowledge' it? Who on earth is unaware of colonialism, and where did they go to school?

IMHO, Megan Markle has had a very negative influence on poor Harry.
Not that he was a MENSA candidate to start with.

Fake news!!!
He is no longer Prince, Duke, nor any other Royal Title.
He CHOSE to leave all that behind of his own free will.
Commoner Harry, formerly of the U.K..

Has anyone ever blown such a potentially awesome life by way of pure unforced errors like him? It's like he was born on third and got picked off while sniffing flowers.

Prince Harry and Meghan are also reportedly signing off from their SussexRoyal.com website. Starting today, they no longer work for the royal family, so they can’t use the royal “brand” in any of their personal marketing, nor can they use their HRH titles. In addition, they can’t represent Queen Elizabeth in any official capacity. Since their Instagram and website both include “royal” in the titles, it’s likely they’ll start fresh with less regal social media handles.
