Duke of Sussex

Many people want to see more dirt on British royalty, but it really is not up to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Yet, with a world stage and powerful voice that was inherited by her very position, it could have and should have been the Queen’s greatest contribution–she had nothing to lose and most everything to gain by being the real champion she is now ballyhooed to be. That is because when it came to the movement, the Queen was a non-factor. The only problem is, it simply isn’t true–and there is absolutely no need to consult Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, nor Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on this one. Queen Elizabeth II, like so many of her contemporaries, seemingly forgot to unclick the mute button and ultimately failed to join the greater Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. With the death of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in September, we witnessed the longest reign of any British monarch come to an end–70 years and 214 days, to be exact. In the case of Queen Elizabeth II, few people have been heralded as such staunch champion advocates of peace, human rights, and equal opportunity with a deep sense of religious and civic duty.
