Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue to cause headaches for the British royal family. First the famous interview with Oprah, then the documentary on married life. In addition, Meghan spoke about the alleged racism of Prince Harry’s family, something that has broken the relationship between the couple and the crown. Ultimately, this meant the couple’s departure for the United States, losing most of the privileges of belonging to the royal family. Now the Dukes of Sussex will receive an award for raising their voices about racism in the monarchy, something that could mean another blow for the British royal house.
Recently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex agreed to receive the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award. The daughter of the assassinated senator, Kerry Kennedy, who is president of the foundation that bears her father’s name, praised the couple’s courage in their “heroic” stand against racism in the British monarchy. Kerry believes she has challenged the “power structure” of the royal family. “They went into the oldest institution in UK history and told them what they were doing wrong,” Kenny told the British tabloid. The Telegraph.

“Few would have the courage to question their colleagues, family and community about the power structure they have maintained, and that is what Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have done. Their comments, and Harry and Harry’s decision Meghan to accept the award could drive a new wedge between the Sussexes and the new King Charles,” added Kerry Kennedy, emphasizing the courage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The foundation’s annual gala is a benefit dinner, where tables can cost up to a million dollars. The event will be held in New York on December 6, and the organization expects Prince Harry and Meghan to attend to receive the award. The gala will also recognize the President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky. In previous years, personalities such as Joe Biden, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, but also Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, Bono and Desmond Tutu have received this award.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to separate from the British royal family in January 2020, which has led to a series of consequences such as no longer having privileges, a high income, a job for life and security in British territory. At the beginning of this 2022, two years after leaving for the United States, Queen Elizabeth II decided to remove the last remaining privileges from the Dukes of Sussex. For her part, Meghan Markle has officially ceased to be responsible for the board of directors of the National Theater in London, a position she has become for Camilla, the current queen consort. For her part, Elizabeth II also removed her nephew from the British Rugby League board, being relieved by Kate Middleton.
