Ever since Prince Harry announced his engagement, the invigilators of the Left have been on the prowl, sniffing out critics of his fiancée, Meghan Markle. This is unusual. British Leftists generally like to proclaim their indifference to monarchy. Although they often take a secret interest in the lives of glamorous and titled people, they know that the correct attitude of their tribe is one of ostentatious boredom.

This time, it’s different though, and you can probably guess why. It’s not just that Markle shares the broadly liberal outlook of Hollywood, being keen on feminism and Noam Chomsky. It’s that is that she is of mixed race, which has prompted lots of British journalists to try to sniff out her racist detractors.
