Kerry Kennedy praised Harry and Meghan for standing up to racism in Royal Family trends now
New audio reveals Kerry Kennedy praising Harry and Meghan as 'heroic' for standing up to 'structural racism' within the Royal Family which he now says he never accused them of.
In December, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were honored at the glitzy RFK Ripple of Hope gala in New York City. They were recognized for their 'their work on racial justice, mental health, and other social impact initiatives through their Archewell Foundation'.
Kerry Kennedy, RFK's daughter and JFK's niece, spoke glowingly of the couple in interviews and on-stage at the star-studded event, which Harry joked was just another 'date night' for the couple.
No videos from the gala have been released, but in a November interview with Spain's El Confidencial, which DailyMail.com obtained a recording of, Kerry praised Harry and Meghan as 'heroic' for how she said they'd taken a stand against 'structural racism' within his family.

Comparing them to her human rights-crusading father, she told journalist Gustavo Egusquiza: 'When my father went to South Africa in 1966, he spoke to an all white audience.... he said that few will have the courage to confront their colleagues and their fellows and their family and their community about the structures of power that they hold.
'That's what Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did.
'They went to the biggest institution, the longest standing institution in all of British history, and they said: "What we're doing is wrong. We can't have this structural racism within this institution.'"

'They knew that if they did that, the consequences would be great, that they would be ostracized, that they would lose their family, that they would lose their power structure that people would blame them.
'They did it anyway because they felt like they couldn't live with themselves unless they questioned that authority.
'I think they are very, very heroic to do that.'
Now, those comments are left in the cold with Harry's correction that neither he nor Meghan called the Royal Family racist.
Instead, he says they are guilty of an 'unconscious bias'.
