Anyone with even a passing interest in British history will see the same names cropping-up again and again over the years as royalty and the aristocracy retain their grip over us plebs. Unfortunately "taking the knee" in Britain doesn't refer to the BLM movement but the grovelling of the pusillanimous populace before their "betters".
When you get to "proper posh" in the British Establishment there is usually a sea of white faces. This blog wrote on 10th July, 2018, for example, how the governance of Wimbledon - and not just the kit - at that time was very white:

Our grotesque "royal" family retain huge wealth, patronage and influence but hardly reflect our wonderfully diverse populace. The interaction between the "royals" and black people has hitherto mostly consisted on the former sitting under canopies on thrones whilst the latter jig about in front of them in grass skirts. Baubles are handed out to any "commonwealth" black folk who toe the Establishment line. The current "easing-out" of Ms Markle is instructive.
The head of this ghastly galere, Elizabeth II, is always said to bank with Coutts and Co and so we took a look at their main Board. We will give you one guess how many black faces sit at the top table according to their own website...
Chair: Lord Waldegrave of North Hill - white old Etonian and member of, inter alia, the Thatcher Government. Currently the Provost of his alma mater. In the hierarchical structure of our pathetic undemocratic country where the majority of our Parliament does not face the ballot box, he is now an unelected legislator (although his father was "proper" aristocracy being the 12th Earl Waldegrave). We sh*t ye not but this bastard bastion of privilege likes to lecture us on social mobility lol!
CEO: Peter Flavel - white Aussie alumnus of Harvard Business School. As hate figures of the Left go, Pete ticks all the boxes being a "lawyer-turned-banker"!
Francesca Barnes - white.
Mark Lund - white.
Linda Urquhart - white and, again, a former lawyer.
Andrew Kyle - white.
Matt Waymark - white.
No doubt this disparity is a matter which will be taken up by the slick PR machine representing another of the Bank's multi-millionaire customers, Saint Marcus Rashford, although our money is on the publicity-seeking "royals", always desperate to "appeal to the young", soon having him "taking the knee" before them in return for an expedited knighthood. "Arise Sir Marcus!"
(On the subject of Saint Marcus neither he nor his team have yet to clarify the position with regard to his - lawful - mitigation of own personal taxes as reported here and in Private Eye:

And don't expect the new Labour "Leader" to storm the palace...
