During a stand-up comedy show, Prince Harry became the subject of mockery by comedian Ami Kozak.
The comedian imitated Harry in response to an audience member’s request, creating a humorous skit centered around the Prince’s comments regarding the royal family’s alleged unconscious bias against his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children.
In a clip shared on social media platform Twitter, Kozak, adopting a British accent reminiscent of the former royal, engaged with the audience member.
When asked if there was too much white in the American flag, Kozak, playing the role of Harry, responded affirmatively, suggesting that the stripes should be black.
This prompted laughter from the audience, with Kozak humorously highlighting the notion that even noticing the white in the flag indicates unconscious bias.
During the interaction, the comedian asked the audience member if they were from Britain, to which they replied affirmatively.
Seizing the opportunity, Kozak referred to the ongoing rift between Harry and the royal family, stating, “So you know what happened to me and my family.”
He then labeled himself and Meghan as “refugees,” alluding to their relocation in the United States.
Furthermore, Harry touched upon the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, emphasizing that while terrorism is bad, unconscious bias is even worse.
The term “unconscious bias” gained significant attention among the British public after Prince Harry defended Meghan against tabloid claims of racism within the royal family.
This narrative gained momentum following Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, during which she revealed that some members of the royal family expressed concerns about their son Archie’s skin color before his birth.
In a conversation with ITV’s Tom Bradby, Prince Harry differentiated between racism and unconscious bias, questioning whether Meghan ever explicitly referred to the royals as racists.
This distinction between the two concepts became a point of discussion.
Contrary to Meghan Markle’s claim that the royals are not “huggers,” new pictures have emerged disproving her statement.
In the Harry and Meghan docuseries in December 2022, Meghan mentioned that hugs were uncomfortable for many Britons, specifically recalling her first meeting with Prince William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
However, festive pictures taken at Sandringham showed Prince George being hugged by former England rugby player Mike Tyndall, who is married to Zara, Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter via Princess Anne.
The image of Tyndall embracing George became popular on Twitter, garnering over 3,000 likes and more than 118,000 views.
This led to the resurfacing of Meghan’s comments on the subject.
The post included a quote from Meghan stating, “Like I was a hugger.
I’ve always been a hugger.
I didn’t realize that that’s really jarring for the Brits.”
These remarks were originally made during the Netflix series, where Meghan discussed her initial encounter with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
However, the Bishop of Hereford, Richard Jackson, provided a different perspective on the royals’ affectionate nature during the BBC’s documentary, “King Charles III, the Coronation Year.”
He expressed his astonishment at their extraordinary display of affection.
In his book “Spare,” Prince Harry revealed that even his brother, Prince William, found Meghan’s hugs uncomfortable.
Harry described an incident where Meghan leaned in to hug William, causing him to recoil.
This clash of cultures left Harry contemplating whether William had expected Meghan to curtsy instead.
Overall, Prince Harry’s remarks on unconscious bias and Meghan’s claim about the royals’ attitude towards hugging have sparked discussions and debates, highlighting the complexities within the royal family and their interactions with the public.
