Renowned rapper and actor Ice Cube has shared his thoughts on the decision
made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step back from their roles as active
members of the royal family. The couple's departure in January 2020 ignited
controversy, as they opted to relinquish their royal responsibilities and
relocate to Los Angeles.
Ice Cube proposed that their potential impact could have been more significant
had they continued to remain a part of the royal establishment. He expressed
this viewpoint during an interview on the show Good Morning Britain.
The rapper also addressed the racially tinged headlines that Meghan Markle
encountered when she began dating Prince Harry. Drawing attention to a past
headline that played off one of Ice Cube's album titles, he commented on how
such jokes can perpetuate stereotypes about particular neighborhoods and
regions. Ice Cube acknowledged the reasons behind people's discontent with the
headline, acknowledging its insensitive nature.
Meghan Markle had previously touched upon this very headline in her podcast
series, 'Archewell Audio.' In a candid conversation with her close friend and
tennis champion Serena Williams, she unveiled her response to the headline.
Both Meghan and Serena challenged the assumptions associated with the headline
and scrutinized its underlying implications.
However, Royal biographer Tom Bower has asserted that Meghan Markle had different intentions from the outset. He posited that Meghan never harbored the intention of staying in England post her marriage to Prince Harry. Bower's perspective is that Meghan's plans revolved around leveraging Harry's royal status to propel her Hollywood career. Bower pointed out that the composition of the wedding guest list seemed to lean towards Hollywood affiliations, suggesting a calculated strategy on Meghan's part.
The situation remains intricate, marked by diverse viewpoints on Meghan Markle's motivations and her conduct within the royal family.
