Team two sides to every story.

You say there is a racist within the Royal Family?, please name that person so that we, the people who keep them in royal style can decide if we wish to carry on doing that

As if.
Can you even begin to imagine the hate and vitriol she would've received if she had named them?
And as we manage to keep a friend of a paedophile in the RF, I doubt 'the people' can decide anything. We are powerless, just remember that.
I've never seen 'we the people' decide anything in the RF

Increasingly team republican.

I respect the Queen and think the crown has been a huge bruden on her - and I liked Meghan (and I didn't realise she was mixed race until her engagement).

However since their Africa trip I've wondered what the fuck Megan and Harry were thinking and since Covid I've wonder why the fuck we have the royal family as their comments and behavior thoughout have been tone deaf.

Increasingly I don't think having an elected president and prime minster would be much of an issue.

Cluedo / whodunnit - it’s Wagatha Christie, Colleen Rooney and Rebecca Vardy Part 2 😂 So dignified!

Team Meghan

EpiphanySoul1 · 08/03/2021 14:25

@thebabessavedme so you are in favour of Prince Andrew who is at a minimum an alleged friend of a paedophile who refuses to cooperate with an FBI investigation into vulnerable abused women as otherwise you the people would’ve had him removed from the royal family right?

Hilarious.

LikeWaterForSoup · 08/03/2021 14:27

In the video Meghan actually says "3 days before our wedding we got married. No-one knows that. We called the archbishop and said: this thing, this spectacle is for the world but we want our union between us .. just the two of us in our backyard with AB of Canterbury".

Any now this isn't true? I'm sure the AB of C will be pleased to be drawn into the mud.

I'll def be watching tonight with popcorn and Gin.

Phil the Greek is a shocking old racist, he has form for racist comments. I bet it was him who was wondering about the baby's skin colour.

And yet Oprah had said it wasn't him!!!
Also you dare call him a racist while calling him 'Phil the Greek' Hmm

@FuckyouBrennan

@MrsDThomas I’m glad it wasn’t just me with these thoughts! Wonder what his dad thinks of his interview?

Wouldn’t it be grand if the RF broke their famous silence and said, go on Harry, off you fuck, you’re not one of us anyway!

Thus preserving the whiteness of the Royal Family? So convenient to boot out a mixed race Duchess and her son.

Norwaydidnthappen · 08/03/2021 14:31

He said he hadn’t received any money from his family since last year as if this would cause a chorus of sympathetic noises. He’s in his late thirties, of course his family shouldn’t still be expected to pick up his tab especially now he no longer wants to work for them. He also said he only has his inheritance to live off, as if the 10 million Diana left isn’t sufficient. Honestly don’t think he’s very intelligent at all.

She pulled the racist card out forgetting she’s married to a man who referred to a colleague as a p**I and dressed up as a nazi.

I’m not a fan of the Royal family whatsoever and have no doubt they didn’t make her feel welcome. I don’t think it’s related to her race, more the fact she was an American D-list actor and Harry isn’t renowned for his solid decision making skills. They were worried they’d wind up embarrassed and they were obviously right to be concerned...

I suspect they will eventually divorce, his children will be in the US and he will face either having to leave them there and return to the U.K. with his tail between his legs or stay there with zero support network having alienated himself. She has little to no relationship with her family too so it all seems rather toxic.

Well you know Prince Andrew had sex with a trafficked minor, what have you done about that?

mainsfed · 08/03/2021 14:34

She's not responsible for his behaviour.

Radio4Rocks · 08/03/2021 14:35

Who's going to buy the wedding certificate?

If it happened and it was legal it will be registered.

Harry wasn’t booted out of anything he asked to leave which he did.

Roussette · 08/03/2021 14:36

mainsfed nah... that's alright because y'know... Andrew keeps his head down.
If ever anyone is challenged on the ridiculous situation of Andrew still protected, or keeping his military patronages, or keeping his £300K a year bodyguards... that's all we hear.
'But he keeps his head down'
You couldn't make it up

mainsfed · 08/03/2021 14:37

@Peppafrig I'm referring to the 'fuck off Harry' comment from Fuckyou, which implies booting him out of the family.

But how nice of you to focus on that part of my comment.

DeeCeeCherry · 08/03/2021 14:39

Yet it's the woman facing an onslaught of hate.

When did a woman become responsible for her husband's behaviour?

A non-White woman experiencing racist bullying "pulled out the race card"🙄.

Ignorant

I mean, I’m mixed race so that would be rather odd.

They didn’t boot them out. They apparently wanted a private life: hard to believe when their Oprah interview airs tonight, isn’t it!

I missed that gem about keeping his head down. Those defending him probably see Virginia Giuffre as a fame-hungry American woman too.
VanillaIce · 08/03/2021 14:42

They both said the family had been very welcoming of her.

Somebody asked how brown the baby might be. Was this the extent of the racism? Because the US press are stating Meghan was driven out of Britain by racism. Yet she gives just one example and even that has no context to it and their stories don’t match up as to when that even happened.

DrSbaitso · 08/03/2021 14:42

Why isn't Harry mentioned in the OP's title?

mainsfed · 08/03/2021 14:43

Sure!

Your 'off you fuck' comment implies he should be booted out of his family.

Roussette · 08/03/2021 14:43

It's not on this thread --at the moment- but has been on a squillion others.
Yes on Virginia, I bet.

Roussette · 08/03/2021 14:45

The gutter press for the last two plus years maybe?

Exactly. Meghan dishing the dirt about the royals (after being one for five minutes) is what everyone predicted. And lo and behold here we are, just a lot sooner than anyone imagined. Even Oprah.
