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

Thanks for posting that Catimini advert, I will have a look.

It’s all pretty academic though. I’m sure if you traced everyone’s family tree back to 1066 you’d find a pretty even mix of aristocrats and peasants. The current lot are just the ones who happen to be descended from the eldest sons right the way through, but we must all be a mix of saints and scumbags. And probably, when you go that far back, the same saints and scumbags.

The Royals are below the Aristocracy so to be fair she only married slightly up from her own celebrity status 🤷‍♀️ she didn't marry multi Billionaires.

The most stupidly identifying thing I’ve seen in a while. Sheer stupidity.

I'm loving the hide thread feature right now @sparklingbrook

Yes me too, the thread titles are getting more and more unhelpful, so it's harder to hide without opening though. Sad

Sometimes I think it’s better if people think this to be upfront - underlying snobbery is much worse. Both is bad though.

I married outside my class, didn’t even realize it until people would say stuff indirectly. Mostly from exes family I have to say, constantly referring to me as being more middle class (they were very firmly working class). It got annoying, felt like I was judged and not just taken as me.

Ex turned out to be rubbish too. But I don’t think it was the class different. Just a selfish person.

Next time met someone who was different nationality. Again, didn’t even see the difference. But there were quite a few differences. All could have been overcome but his family again, constantly treating me as outsider, and referring to stuff that I can only really see now was racist and bullying towards me. Sigh...

It’s tougher to cross class, nationality, race etc. Stressful.

Disfordarkchocolate:

I don't think you need to marry in your class, you need to marry someone with the same values.

Completely agree. But can this not be another Meghan and Harry thread? I try to avoid them but this thread title gave no clues whatsoever as to whether or not it was about the royal family.
