Robert F Kenndy’s daughter has revealed she’ll honour Prince Harry and Meghan for their heroic stance against the structural racism of the Royal Family at an NYC gala in her father’s honour.
Kerry Kennedy, one of RFK and Ethel Kennedy’s 11 children and the president of the foundation, said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have challenged the Royal Family’s power structure.
She now plans to hand the couple a gong acknowledging their accomplishments at the Ripple of Hope Gala in New York on December 6, with spots at their table going for up to $1 million. The couple is expected to attend the event.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will also be given an accolade.
Kennedy, the ex-wife of disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, told a newspaper outlet that they went to the oldest institution in UK history and told them what they were doing wrong, and that they couldn’t have structural racism within the institution, and that they couldn’t maintain a misconception about mental health.
She talked about her late father’s visit to apartheid South Africa in 1966 and said that Harry and Meghan had the moral bravery that numerous people didn’t to discuss racial fairness.
Kennedy said that few would have the courage to question their colleagues, family and community about the power system they maintained and that this was what Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have done.
Her comments, and Harry and Meghan’s decision to receive the award, could drive a fresh wedge between the Sussexes and King Charles.
King Charles ascended to the throne in September after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II. No decision has been made on whether to confer royal titles on the Sussexes children Archie and Lilibet until after an upcoming Netflix documentary and Harry’s autobiography ‘Spare’ are released.
Harry and Meghan are also said to enjoy cool relations with Harry’s brother Prince William, now second in line to the throne, and his wife Kate Middleton. They saw their titles upgraded to Prince and Princes of Wales in the wake of the Queen’s demise.
Both Harry and Meghan, who now live in a $14 million Californian mansion with their children, are expected to attend. The award will also be given to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Kennedy added that the Sussexes knew that if they did this there would be consequences and that people would condemn them for it, but they have done it anyway because they believed they couldn’t live with themselves if they didn’t question this authority.
And this seems like a stitch-up between Harry and Meghan’s Netflix director, Liz Garbus, and her good friend, Kerry Kennedy, in an endeavour to give Harry and Meghan the credibility they don’t have, and now people will say that two phoneys will get a phoney award over a phoney issue.
However, it takes a tremendous amount of bravery to pit yourself and fight against the Royal Family and Palace officials. Princess Diana did this to her detriment – how long before something happens to these two?
Bravery is daring to stand up to a massively powerful institution, which operates in complete secrecy, with no consequence for its activities.
Prince Harry is his mother’s sleeper cell, resuming what his mother started and which is what he wanted.
People are saying that Harry and Meghan should be stripped of their titles. However, the Royal Family are not foolproof. What about Charles the adulterer and his adulteress? And I’m sure Harry has some serious knowledge of all of them. Let’s face it, the King isn’t exactly a popular figure and he’s certainly not his mother!
