We are all agents of change

We are all agents of change

In a strange way, this morning, I'm wondering if watching Megan last night on TV makes me feel 'more racist' ... (not just color, but positioning 'royal' vs. her vain attempt to bring 'dignity' to the royal experience -- that really stuck for me): her suggesting to Oprah that she would be an agent of change; in her own word, 'representational' -- she wanted to be an activist from day one in this self-made independent role. The Oprah interview, why she did it, I feel was all about Megan making that 'representation' happen. Megan cannot not live being silenced. Oprah couches it differently, saying the interview is about lies (*below). Asked why she thinks Harry and Meghan agreed to the interview, Winfrey replied: 'I think they agreed to do it, wanted to do it, were ready to do it, because when you have been lied about for a series of years, I think anybody can understand this, if in your own office or your own family people are saying things about you that are not true and how hurtful that is." // Oprah comes out the only winner, I think. And she was smart to not raise the question of Harry's patrimony, given that his father is James Hewitt. // 'How she comes off' -- having wanted all the privileges (titles, security) but not getting them; prevented from becoming a 'modern' non-royal inside a non-modern household -- I find it super hard to like her, and yet the 'agent of change' that Harry is ... now, that is real. He shows us so vividly that freedom starts at home, in (and from) our families; and that healing them, as he said, is a priority. I think he is immensely relatable. He's the greater agent of change, not her. // Moral of the story? We are all agents of change.
