Queen Elizabeth's plan to fight racism may bring her grandson back
Queen Elizabeth II is taking action to tackle institutional racism in the British monarchy. Addressing the racism that drove Prince Harry and Meghan Markle away from the royal family might bring her grandson back into the fold. The Daily Mail reported that the queen is hiring a "diversity tsar" to oversee and solve racism issues in the British monarchy. The queen will "seek independent perspectives" to help the British monarchy modernize and improve diversity. According to the Daily Mail, palace sources say the move acknowledges that more needs to be done to improve the monarchy's approach on diversity, following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's explosive claims of institutional racism.
Queen Elizabeth's latest actions are part of a significant drive encompassing Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, and Kensington Palace; aides will tackle a "listen and learn" exercise in a few weeks that will involve talking to a variety of businesses and people about the way the monarchy can enhance representation.
The Daily Mail revealed that the outlet had seen the queen's plan. The palace seeks "impartial perspectives" to help evaluate and enhance the method of diversity — such as ethnic minorities, the disabled, and the gay and trans communities. A royal source told the British media outlet: "This is an issue which has been taken very seriously across the Households. We have the policies, procedures, and programs in place, but we haven't seen the progress we would like and accept more needs to be done."
