Prince Charles edits British Black newspaper “The Voice”

LONDON (AP) — The Prince of Wales has edited an edition of British African-Caribbean newspaper “The Voice” to mark its 40-year anniversary. The heir to the British throne said he “was so touched” to be asked to edit the edition, which features interviews with movie star Idris Elba and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the campaigning mother of Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered in a racist attack in 1993. Elba, the Black British actor who starred in “The Wire” and several Marvel movies, tells the weekly newspaper that a grant from Charles’ youth charity, The Prince’s Trust, at age 16 “opened doors that changed my life.”
