Apparently, Archie wasn’t afforded a title. They didn’t ask that he not be given one
Wow just wow
All those accusations of racism are looking more credible
I don’t know if the RF can recover from this
I am shocked tbh. All on the same day that the Queen addressed the Commonwealths

Kinsters · 08/03/2021 01:50

Holy shit this is explosive!

With the titles they said that apparently if Archie was a prince he would have security but they didn't want to make him a prince so he won't have security. But it doesn't make sense...the York girls have titles and don't have security?

Tippexy · 08/03/2021 01:51

Well, it’s over between Harry and William. There’s absolutely no coming back after this. Feel dreadfully sorry for William, Charles and the Queen. What a mess.

Interested in this thread?

“So did H&M turn that down? Did they turn it down because they wanted him to be made a Prince? Or did the Palace prevent Archie from having any title?” She said title and because her child will not have a title, they will not get security hence why they did not want too much exposure of their child (until they can afford their own security, I guess)

JustLyra · 08/03/2021 01:51

I wish she would say who was “expressing concerns” about Archie’s skin colour.

There’s just going to be a frenzy of guessing now and whoever it was should be outed (and anyone not involved shouldn’t be tainted by it).

PurpleCrocuses · 08/03/2021 01:51

People who have an agenda to hate Meghan will obviously automatically say that every word out of her mouth is lies.

What will they say when Harry joins her? Will they say that Harry is a liar too?

Lampzade · 08/03/2021 01:51

@VanillaIce

She wants out of the royal family, despises them and the institution....but why can’t my baby be a prince????
Is that all that you have taken from this Racism ???
annanicolesmith · 08/03/2021 01:51

@Kinsters The York girls are grandchildren of the monarch, their children won't have the Princess title. Queen had to issue the Prince and Princess titles to William's kids.

RickiTarr · 08/03/2021 01:52

BRF will have to put out a statement addressing these accusations, or react in some other way.

Great grandchildren don’t get them apart from the direct line of succession! Literally nothing to do with racism!

This interview is a disaster ... there is no coming back from this for H&M 😳

Ohwhatevu · 08/03/2021 01:52

I suspect Prince Philip

The York girls do have security. Andrew has had to put for it himself since their official security was removed.
Xyzzzzz · 08/03/2021 01:52

@annanicolesmith

Watching it now.

Have a feeling that the colour remark will be from Philip, and other people's concerns will be re paternity if Archie came out dark, as Meghan is white passing. But she does indeed say that she didn't know an explanation for their concerns.

Arseholes for throwing her under the bus, but will happen for a more senior principle in the firm...

Defo sounds like PP.

She is not lying and everyone here knows it. Wow. I am shocked
VanillaIce · 08/03/2021 01:52

And Edward’s children are grandchildren of the monarch and don’t have titles because their parents didn’t want them.

Sounds like H&M very much wanted Archie to have a title. I’m gobsmacked by this.

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 08/03/2021 01:53

But he wouldn't be a prince as thats not bow it works , the set up is weird but something Harry would know
Its to easy to say I am not naming named as would be damaging ? The damage is done

GoLightlyontheEarth · 08/03/2021 01:53

Zara doesn’t have protection. I don’t think Eugenie or Beatrice do either. I seem to remember PA being pissed off about that. So why should a newborn baby have protection?

VanillaIce · 08/03/2021 01:53

Lampzade who do you mean by “everyone here” ?

Do you really believe she didn’t research the family she was marrying into?

PurpleCrocuses · 08/03/2021 01:54

The York princesses did have security until some years ago. Reportedly Prince Charles had their security removed, since they're now adults and working, and because their globe-trotting meant their security bills were sky high.

They had paid-for security all through their childhoods and younger years.

Louise and James have titles, legally, they just don’t use their most senior titles because their parents don’t want to use them.

Yes I know Eugenie's little boy doesn't have a title. I guess maybe they think it's different for Archie as he's also a great grandchild of the monarch but will one day be grandchild then nephew then cousin.

Tippexy · 08/03/2021 01:54

Now she’s saying she told Harry she was suicidal.

This , surely harry knows how it works and none of this should of been a suprise

annanicolesmith · 08/03/2021 01:55

The person she went to asking for helps was Charles (says it's one of the most senior members), I suspect. Can't see him being much help given his history with women with MH problems.
