Prince Harry discussed the "invisible contract" between the royal family and the British press, alleging that the family fears the tabloids. He criticized the lack of public support from the monarchy regarding the racially charged coverage and "colonial undertones" directed at Meghan Markle. The hosts examine the symbiotic relationship where the media requires royal access while the royals require favorable public sentiment managed by the press.
The hosts discuss how some individuals "stumbled" into passing for white simply to access basic amenities like air-conditioned theaters or shoe stores during segregation. They compare the historical desire for "invisibility" to the modern social pressure of wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The segment explores the psychological relief of avoiding the "stink eye" or harassment by blending into the majority.
