Dolly Parton, who sadly died about two weeks ago, was referred to as an 'icon' in every single news report of her death that I read. Yet, it seemed like 10 minutes later that Harry and Meghan threw it all out and embarked instead on the public abuse of the royal family, known as 'the firm.' Harry's autobiography Spare showed how much he resented his life as a mere adjunct to his brother. It alleged a physical altercation with Prince William and his strained relationship with his father, who now has cancer. For the Jewish community of Britain, a select number of the monarchs have done enormous harm. In 1189, at the coronation of Richard I, there was a pogrom, and 100 years later Edward I expelled them from England. Get your tickets to see the Crown Jewels. It may not be long before the Tower of London, where they are on display, is closed for business. The writer is a Senior Barrister and retired criminal judge and author of Nothing Like the Truth and co-host of the podcast Shalom from Tel Aviv. He lives between London and Zichron Ya'acov.
