It comes after the royal and Kelly butted heads over the tiara worn by Meghan Markle on her wedding day in 2018, an incident dubbed “tiaragate” by the press.

Perhaps the greatest challenge that William has faced was the tragic death of his mother in 1997 when he was aged 15....

Of course, it would be foolish to deny that racism still exists, or that people are sometimes treated unfairly due to their race; racism is unfortunately part of the human condition. But the rhetoric coming out of the elite sectors of the liberal establishment about the inescapability of racism for Black Americans is in reality an elitist projection. It’s not how the vast majority of Black Americans experience our lives....
