We spoke with Kate Jegede and got an interesting twist that you have never heard.</p> <p>LONDON — When <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/13/world/europe/meghan-harry-statement.html">Prince Harry and Meghan</a> announced this week that they would be stepping back from their royal duties and spending extensive time in North America, many of Britain’s minority residents said they felt a burst of relief.</p> <p>At long last, many said in interviews, the couple might finally escape the abuse, much of it racially tinged, that has been heaped upon them by the British press, particularly the country’s raucous tabloids.</p> <p>“Thank God they are free,” said Sanaa Edness, lifting her arms to the sky as she walked through Fordham Park in southeast London. “Nobody should tolerate bullying and abusive behavior because of the color of their skin.
