Hello, Royal Watchers!
The past few months have seen many people, including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, demanding powerful institutions be held accountable for past and current problematic actions and behaviours, including anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism, homophobia, and sexism.
This week, Meghan Markle made her first public speech post-royal exit, where she spoke more candidly than she ever could have had she still been a senior working member of the Royal Family.
The duchess reminded the audience not to be afraid to make powerful people and establishments "a little uncomfortable." It's advice we could all take a page from. Read more about her powerful call-to-action below.
Have a great weekend and stay safe, Royal Watchers 👑👑 |

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Royal Family postponed investitures (the ceremony involving giving a person a rank or honour) as a safety precaution, however just this week, they made an exception.
Queen Elizabeth conferred a knighthood on Captain Sir Tom Moore, a former British Army officer, who raised more than US$75M for U.K. health workers leading up to his 100th birthday.
The ceremony took place on the outdoor grounds of Windsor Castle, with social distancing protocols in place. Lucky for them that the sword is the perfect length for physical distancing! |
