I have no problem with people saying negative things about MM.
I think you do. In my opinion (which may be wrong) you pounce on any threads about MM or Harry.
What I object to is when the negative things are ridiculous. Or when they are things which are not considered negative in other members of the royal family. It seems to have come as a huge surprise to many that the royal family live hugely privileged lives, are very rich, have very rich friends and spend fucktons of money. They didn’t notice til a “not quite one of us” type person started to do it!
You are right there. And a point that I've made is that maybe it's due to MM's nationality and her growing up in a particular generation that makes her - and her husband's - statements and posturing annoying.
So perhaps she doesn't realise how irritating she seems.
Kate is - to me - just as irritating.
But, having grown up in Britain, knows how to manipulate the media.
It's not necessarily racism.
Like you, I'm a republican. It certainly didn't come as a "huge surprise" to me that the royal family have privileged lives and spend fucktons of money.
I suppose I got really cross when someone suggested that Harry spouting about protecting the environment while taking private jets was like somebody smoking, but telling people that tobacco causes lung cancer.
And you replied along the lines of: Even if he told us to stop smoking while holding a fag we'd be stupid to not stop smoking ourselves.
Which is also right.
But maybe leading by example (eg smoking in private like the DofC) is something they could do.
Otherwise, they really are (regardless of race) pointless.
