Even some Trump voters can see the situation for what it is

As the debate rages on here over Meghan Markle's allegations of racism within the Royal family and the extent to which this is an accurate portrayal of them, it seems that for outsiders looking in the situation is much clearer. In a YouGov survey, only 19 percent of American adults asked thought that the Royal Family was not racist. Meanwhile 36% of those asked thought that the Royal Family were indeed racist, with over half of Democrats involved agreeing with this statement. Only 10% of Democrats said that they did not think the Royal Family was racist. Perhaps most surprising is that 16% of Republicans believe that the Royal Family is racist, compared with 41% who believe them not to be racist and 32% who were unsure. https://twitter.com/YouGovAmerica/status/1370390389958529024 It seems that it is much easier for those outside Britain to see the situation for what it is. There is no doubt that as a nation there is a huge amount of delusion with our own issues and problems. This was demonstrated last summer as well in the aftermath of George Floyd's death and the Black Lives Matter movement, during which many were quick to criticise the racism and race issue present in the USA, whilst at the same time refusing to acknowledge that such issues also existed in the UK. Americans as a population have often been some of the Royal Family's biggest fans, fascinated with the history and culture of the monarchy and how different it is to their Republic. The fact that even they can see the archaic nature of the organisation therefore should not be ignored.
