There is daily intrigue into the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. With regular news reports on their activities, a Spotify podcast by the Duchess, a memoir from Prince Harry entitled ‘Spare’ and a Netflix documentary of their experience in the Royal Family, many people in the UK have formed an opinion on the couple. Our voters aged 11+ considered their own thoughts on Harry and Meghan and discussed the impact of their frequent media coverage.

Meanwhile, our age 5-11 voters discussed the meaning of disrespect and considered how easy it is to recognise when someone is being disrespectful towards themselves or others.
