Meghan Makle's marriage to Prince Harry sparked a global debate about the extent to which the union marked progress in British race relations with the royal family embracing “modern Britain”. Rather than representing progress the furore around the marriage is the perfect example of the delusions of post-racialism, which entrench racial inequality. The royal family is one of the premier symbols of Whiteness, the very idea that the inclusion of Markle changes this demonstrates a lack of understanding of racism. Seeing the marriage as progress is an intersectional failure that ignores the limits of representational change as well as the specific limits of Markle as a representative of Black women, particularly in Britain. Issues of patriarchy, nationality, class and colourism prevent Markle representing the average Black woman in Britain. Embracing a Black feminist standpoint negates the idea of representational change because no individual can ever stand in for the collective.

种族后公主:种族进步和交往失败的妄想

梅根·麦克莱(Meghan Makle)与哈里亲王(Harry Prince)的婚姻引发了一场全球辩论,这场辩论是在英国种族关系取得了显著进步的同时,王室拥抱了“现代英国”。后种族主义妄想的根深蒂固,而不是代表婚姻的狂怒,是后种族主义妄想的完美例子,这种妄想加剧了种族不平等。王室是白度的主要标志之一,马克勒的加入改变了这一想法,这表明人们对种族主义缺乏了解。将婚姻视为进步是一种交叉失败,它忽略了代表权变化的局限性,也无视马克尔作为黑人妇女代表的特定局限性,特别是在英国。父权制,国籍,阶级和色彩主义的问题使马克尔无法代表英国的普通黑人妇女。
