Prince Harry and his wife released their long-expected docuseries on Netflix in pieces and the majority of the British people and press have berated them since. I have not seen all of the documentary but from excerpts, here are a couple of conclusions:
1. Queen Elizabeth was not responsible for most of the face decisions of the monarchy in her latter days - the FIRM and the INSTITUTION (a bunch of influential royals who serve the FIRM and are zealous about protecting the "honor" of the institution) took a lot of decisions that were perceived to be taken from the textbook of Racism 101 - ignore them, suppress them, deny them, under-report their extra-ordinary achievement, us and them, ......). Harry's description of the conversation before the Queen is a case in point.
2. Harry's heart left the Royal Family long before Meghan, he left the day his mother died, and how she was vilified by the FIRM, the INSTITUTION, and the British TABLOIDS for leaving a chronic cheating husband, with all their fabrications.
3. The FIRM & INSTITUTION, and the British society refused to understand the need to modernize the monarchy. What things like this often lead to in the long run is self-destruct. The institution will self-implode when it suddenly realizes it does not have any relevance again in modern society. The marriage of Prince Harry to Meghan was an opportunity lost. Their refusal to accept GROSS error in the way they handled Meghan's debacle (suicidal thoughts, defending her against the Tabloid they worship as they do William's wife, reprimanding those who show all forms of racist tendencies towards her as they now did against William's godmother, etc.), their typical cold silence on all the burning issues with just senseless defense of obvious racist behavior of some, and tendencies that permeate the majority of caucasians (including the Royals) towards people of "color" is very sad.
Let us hope that time will help the FIRM and the INSTITUTION to reflect properly and do what is right. Prince Williams is a likable guy but it does not appear he has handled the case with his brother and his family as he should.
Communism died, and capitalism survived. Capitalism is a supposed system that allows freeness in an economy - market forces in the hands of private owners control what happens to the economy with minimal influence by the state. Capitalism has produced enormous wealth in the West. There are so many millionaires and billionaires. The question is, what is the ratio of the stupendously rich and those who are just scraping by - living from pay check-to-pay check? The gap is huge between the rich and the poor in most capitalist states. When President Trump was going to deliver his tax reform, it favored the rich with about 80% of the tax benefits going to the top 1% richest people in America. The argument was that they create jobs, they should benefit more - money is being given to those who really do not need the extra cash but those who need it the most, aids is been taken away from people who are at the bottom of the ladder because of a few who lie on their social welfare claims.
