Disgusted about marrying outside of class comment

[busylifebusywife]

One of the other mums from school has just posted this fb status am I right to feel disgusted about this?

@thenightsky Surely the Royal family is the epitome of the aristocracy, given it's based on hereditary rank?

I think they should go back to marrying other European royals. There was a lovely Swedish princess I had my eye on for William.

I hate this. Some upper middle class women called DH a pleb on the bus, she was speechless when I said he was my DH!

Jesus, this type of wanting back slaps/some 'witty' response across social media is killing the internet.

Coming into your hug box to want some back up or response is a new weird online situation.

Class is very dominant on MN, posters regularly fall over themselves asking for class markers they need to adhere to or look for. If you can't think of your own response it has somehow touched a nerve, the best thing to do is just fucking ignore it and not try and get some back up.

MN is going to shit for all the wrong reasons.

She's obviously a dick but do are you for posting her comment on MN

Can't tell if you're being serious or not ohtheroses!

I don't think any of them would be daft enough @StillCoughingandLaughing, who would put up with our press?

You do realise the whole world can see a couple of your friends at the top of that screenshot?

Just comment: well yes you usually find class doesn't equal nasty bitching

Presumably that's your child on the top left in add to story? Social media eh 🤦

I don't get why you'd pollute your FB with stuff like this.

I can't concentrate on anything other than your low battery! It's making me anxious 🤣 😅😅😅😅

I think marrying outside of "class" or more like income level is a good thing. Shares the wealth around a bit.

Not that either Harry or William married women who were exactly poor.

I think she's saying she thinks Meghan/Harry issue is a typical royal scandal, due to Harry marrying into what is perceived as a different class but she's not bothered about people doing that. Seems ok to me!

I actually think it doesn’t work to marry in a different class if that means that values and standards of behaviour are lower. Sorry but that’s just the truth

Yeah, it's shitty. Who cares though?

Life is great when you don't care about things people put on Facebook. Just ignore it.

Nothing to do with class...you marry someone with same values as you which is a mismatch with harry and megan.

The big problem is that Meghan is American so hasn’t grown up seeing the British public’s and British media’s love/hate relationship with the RF so had no clue what she was getting herself into.

You might think: @thenightsky Surely the Royal family is the epitome of the aristocracy, given it's based on hereditary rank?

But some aristocrats have a direct lineage much further back than the royal family - all of those side steps at the end of the Stuarts, then bringing in the German Georges, and then Victoria and her minor prince Husband. Earl Spencer's speech at Diana's funeral alluded to the fact that he considers himself and his family more "English" than the Royal family, and Diana married "down".

And some of this attitude really underlies the constitution - the Monarchy not being above the law and "the Barons" in Magna Carta, the rebellion of Simon DeMontford, and the Aristocracy "restoring" the Monarchy, and then welcoming William and Mary in the Glorious revolution.

I don't really think people should use school-based groups for talking about things that have nothing to do with school

I think several posters have hit the nail on the head when they say that a marriage is more likely to be successful if you marry someone who has the same values as you, to which I would add the same expectations and interests. I guess that two people from a similar social background have more chance of that being the case, though obviously there are no guarantees.
I know several couples where the partners are from very different backgrounds and they have all had some degree of difficulty as a result, though to be fair, the problems have quite often been of their extended families' making rather than their own. I don't think it is wrong to marry someone from a different background but I do think it can be difficult.

I agree with her

OP, can you be identified from the "add to story" profile on the top left of your screenshot?
