Many have praised Meghan and Harry for bringing the Royal Family into the 21st Century and being role models for a modern, forward-thinking Britain. Trevor Phillips, former head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission said the royal baby will the “poster boy for the new world”. However, this was not the first time Mr Phillips has spoken about Meghan’s role in bridging the gap between communities.
According to the 2018 book ‘Meghan: A Hollywood Princess’, Mr Phillips said: “The way in which Meghan handles herself will send out an important message.
“It’s a very big deal that she has been taught to have pride in her ethnicity.
“For people of colour, that will be seen was a positive, modern approach and immensely welcome.”
Author of the book, Andrew Morton, noted that only 6 percent of the 1,100 people employed at the Palace come from ethnic minorities, while only around 30 are in senior positions.
