The royal family was worried that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's firstborn would be black
The current Great Britain is no longer the great power that is still nostalgically remembered in London. Firstly, the old England has long "cambered" under senior overseas partners. Secondly, irreversible processes have begun in British society and politics, which have always been distinguished by their stiffness and even excessive conservatism. Tolerance and other European values are put at the forefront.
As an illustrative example, we can recall the last three prime ministers of the British government, including the current one. None of them have ever been Sir Winston Churchill or Margaret Thatcher. First, there was Boris Johnson with the manners of a provincial clown and the habits of a freak. Then, for some time, the already forgotten Liz Truss managed to take the premier's post, she is remembered only because of her unusual knowledge of geography. Now the British Cabinet is "steered" by Rishi Sunak, who comes from a family of Indian origin. And India for a long period of time was one of the main colonies of Great Britain. It is possible that Sunak is an intelligent economist and manager, but a Hindu in the main government post of the British Crown is nonsense.

1. In fact, the shift and restructuring of consciousness in British society began quite a long time ago. From the royal family.
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, the son of the current King Charles III and the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, who died in Bose, began to “shake” the foundations. The same Harry, who for 2023 is still the fifth in line for the British throne. Although Harry himself, back in 2020, defiantly resigned from his honorary duties associated with the royal family and went for permanent residence in the "most democratic" country in the world - the United States.
By the way, Harry has been very open about something lately. He began to talk about his army service, during which he was an attack helicopter pilot. Has the money run out? The revelations of the prince caused criticism of the royal person from high-ranking British military officers, both former and current. After all, the military of any army in the world has certain ideas about ethics.
2. But now is not about that. Now we are talking about the prince's family. The fact is that back in 2018, Harry married American film actress Meghan Markle. Megan herself is of mixed blood. Dad is white, mom is black. Although Megan herself can not be said. It seems that the genetics of the father was much stronger.
According to Meghan Markle herself (by the way, she also now tells a lot of interesting things), when she was little, everyone mistook her mother for a nanny. The girl herself, before the divorce of her parents, grew up in a black quarter. According to Megan, she felt at home there.
The actress faced discrimination after her romance with Prince Harry was made public by the British tabloids.
3. But that's not all. It turns out that the royal family was worried that the firstborn of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would be black. Megan herself spoke about this. Well, not exactly black, but there was a lot of concern in the royal court about how dark the firstborn of the heir to the throne would turn out to be.
Now Harry has two children - the eldest son Archie, born in 2019, and the youngest daughter Lilibet, born in 2021. Archie is like his father. The same redhead, so in vain the representatives of the royal family were so worried. Yes, Lilibet is fair-skinned too.
