Actress and comedian, Nadia Afgan has expressed her disappointment with cricketers Naseem Shah and Mohammad Hafeez for wishing King Charles III and Queen Camilla at their coronation in Westminster Abbey, London on Saturday.
Everyone was already fuming watching Queen Camila parade around with the Koh-i-Noor around her neck, and Nadia was left disappointed to see our beloved cricketers wishing the Royal Family on their coronation.
The British High Commission in Pakistan post a clip in which the two Pakistani cricketers addressed the King as “His Majesty”, wishing him the best for the future. It was evident that they were reading from a script, and the awkwardness in their body language was noticeable.
Nadia Afgan took to social media to express her frustration, questioning who was responsible for making the cricketers say those words. She also added that it was sad to see Pakistanis still respect the Royal Family, given their atrocities during the colonial era.
Netizens, not just Pakistani, but also other nations shared similar sentiments, and many expressed their anger towards the Royal Family and the British Empire. Pakistan was one of the countries that suffered the most under British rule, and the wounds of colonialism are still fresh in the minds of many Pakistanis.
The British Empire’s brutal tactics left a lasting impact on Pakistan’s society and culture. The country’s struggle for independence and its subsequent formation has been shaped by its history of colonization.
Despite Britain’s atrocities, the Royal Family still holds a significant amount of power and influence, and their presence is a reminder of the country’s dark past. The Royal Family’s legacy is one of oppression, and their reign has left deep scars on many of the countries they once ruled.
