Colleen Harris, a public relations consultant, is considered the woman who had the greatest role in shaping the personality of King Charles III, refining his knowledge and culture, and building his personality, before she resigned from the position of private secretary to the king in 2003 to spend time with her family.
It seems that the royal family still retains this lady’s gratitude, friendliness and respect, and believes in her skills and abilities, so she was returned to work for the royal family, where Harris was appointed last Tuesday, director of the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation.
Harris, 67, attended the king’s coronation in May, and was the “only black person” who worked in public relations for the British government.
Harris began working as a press secretary to King Charles in 1998, and it seems that she suffered some discrimination from the “old guard” at the time, who were surprised by the emergence of a black woman from south London to work in the palace.
Harris attended the marriage of Prince Harry and Megan Markle in 2018, to celebrate the presence of a mixed-race duchess, and said that mixed-race people are the fastest growing in the United Kingdom, but they sometimes feel marginalized and misunderstood, according to the newspaper.
