The Sussexes Choice of Name For The Royal Baby Is A Masterstroke And a Half.
But will it help mend fences and bridge the schism between the warring factions?
2021 has produced quite a degree of drama, that Netflix, Amazon and the BBC have struggled to match thus far; we have had an attempted coup in the world’s greatest democracy, a massive convulsion in the financial markets, when a group of inexperienced traders took on the wall street and very nearly succeeded, the sequel of the 2020 pandemic, currently raging in Asia and Latin America and the demise of Prince Phillip, the duke of Edinburgh.
And yet, not one of these events come close to matching what we saw a few months ago, from the comfort of our living rooms.
For those who need reminding, I am talking about the Harry and Meghan interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which we were treated to the racism of the royal family, the gaslighting of the Duchess of Sussex and her battles with depression, which very nearly led her to taking her own life.
