Meghan Markle recently broke her silence and talked about the tragic death of George Floyd, supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. However, Queen Elizabeth's former press secretary revealed that Prince Harry's wife would not be able to do that if she was still working as a senior royal.
Meghan Markle gave a lengthy speech for her alma mater, Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles, about what the Black community experienced, from the deaths of Gorge Floyd to Breonna Taylor. Now, Dickie Arbiter believed that if she were still a senior member of the royal family, it would be impossible for her to do that.
In an interview with Newsweek, the royal expert believed that if the Sussexes were still in the United Kingdom and working members of the royal family, that speech would never have happened. He cleared that he was pertaining to the whole statement.
The royal commentator found it highly politicized because of its "very nature." It also touched on giving opinions about another country's internal affairs.
Hence, he believed that Queen Elizabeth had anything to say about it. Dickie, who was Her Majesty's press secretary from 1988 to 2000, explained that it was a "societal issue for the United States, so it was not right for another head of state to give an opinion.
Last week, Meghan Markle talked about the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, and Tamir Rice, saying all their lives mattered, Daily Mail noted. Prince Harry's wife admitted that she was not sure what to say to them, as it might get picked apart. However, she realized that the wrong thing to say was to say nothing.
According to The Sun, the former actress did not use any notes during her "raw" Black Lives Matter speech. Royal editor Omid Scobie, who co-written the Sussexes' biography Finding Freedom, said the couple had been conducting video calls with community leaders about the movement.
The two have been secretly having meetings with people on every level to make sure that they are aware and connected to the issues of police brutality and the movement in the country. With everything that Meghan Markle experienced, this case is "something incredibly personal" to her.
It is also important for both of them. Just like many people all over the world, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are also "feeling it," so they make sure that they understand the current events.
