Demonstrators took to the streets of the United States of America demanding racial equality after George Floyd, a black man was killed by a white police officer, who knelt on his neck for over 8 minutes. Prince Harry, who is currently holed up in his house in Tyler Perry’s $14 million mansion in Beverly Hills with wife Meghan Markle and son Archie recently opened up about racism in a recently concluded virtual interview.
Making an appearance in a virtual interview for a civil rights organization, Prince Harry, 35, believes it would take “every single person on the planet” to defeat racism. He is set to speak about racism in a new interview for the Colour of Change initiative.
The clip of the interview, which was posted to the Instagram account of Colour of Change initiative shows Prince Harry lauding the younger generation for “acting, rather than just saying.” Talking to US civil rights leader Rashad Robinson, he said: “As we’ve discussed before, it is going to take every single one of us, this is not just down to the black community, it’s going to take every single person on the planet right now.”
Prince Harry and his wife’s upcoming biography dubbed “Finding Freedom” claims Meghan guided Harry on his public “woke” journey. The clip of the interview, which was posted over the weekend online was captioned, “Inequality is not unfortunate like a car accident, it has been manufactured.”
“Prince Harry and @iamrashadrobinson talked candidly about systemic racism, hate online and people with privilege, using their privilege for change,” the captioned continued. Noting that the clip was a sneak peek of what happened during the interview, it urged to stay tuned for the full conversation.
“Part of this work, part of this moment that we’re in, is that making sure from analysis to action that we drive action toward structural and systemic change. Changing the rules that have held people back,” Rashard says in the clip. Harry responds saying “You say this so beautifully Rashard, and it’s so true.”
This interview comes after royal expert Katie Nicholl revealed how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are deviating their focus on the Black Lives Matter movement. She told Entertainment Tonight that the BLM movement matter to the couple, adding that both Prince Harry and Meghan will be doing a lot more work in this area.
