There were no politicians at the Royal Wedding, but it was most definitely political.
I am a believer. I am one of those who is optimistic. This marriage will help race relations. That visual of the a black person marrying into the country’s first family will in subtle small ways make some people angry, as it did with the girlfriend of the former UKIP leader, but that is good. They are angry because they are losers in their hatred and belief in blood purity.
A bunch of people woke up the day after the wedding wondering ‘how can I marry Royalty?’
The day after her wedding, the Duchess of Sussex followed tradition and left her wedding bouquet at the tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey where the inscription reads:
"Beneath this stone rests the body
Of a British warrior
Unknown by name or rank...
Man can give life itself
For God
For King and country
For loved ones home and empire
For the sacred cause of justice and
The freedom of the world
They buried him among the kings because he
Had done good toward God and toward
His house."
The preacher at the wedding quoted Martin Luther King. King famously said I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Well Prince Harry, who once at a party in the same Castle at which he got married wore a Nazi uniform, proved the Prince carries on King’s dream. The point is, we do not need to marry Royalty to make our lives extraordinary. We can be Royalty in how we behave. It is not about the ego but of service. Meghan had worked in soup kitchens and UN programmes without the lights and theatre long before she danced down the aisle. For the rest of us, it is a belief not that we could all be royalty, but that with hard work an honest heart from your personal to your professional life, you can achieve. And yes, luck is 99% in all things. But my god your fate and destiny must be strong, some Indian priest must have told her years ago reading her palm or horoscope, that she has the power to bend to her will the Prince of Wales to walk her down the aisle.
At a time of the Windrush embarrassment, no not embarrassment, shocking disgusting vicious racist nature of it all, this was the opposite. When we remember President Obama and compare him to Trump – for most this is also about race not just in the UK, but the world. Or take Mo Farrah winning Gold or the other Mohamed playing for Liverpool.
Of course Indian parents will continue warning their children not to marry Blacks or Muslims – go on admit it – you’re one of the them aren’t you? Whites and Christians at a push, but Blacks and Muslims or same sex? You ready? No thought not.
