"[On the unsustained optimism at the time of the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May 2018.] This new era did not dawn. But the prophecies of it are useful to revisit, because they should remind us that it didnāt matter then, and it doesnāt matter now. Because the country that Harry and Meghan married in was one that, just a few months before their wedding, declared Paulette Wilson, who had lived in Britain for 50 years, "removable to Jamaica" and detained her in Yarl's Wood. The Windrush scandal was also "modern" Britain."
