By talking about the environment to try and get us to forget about the racist allegations. I'd even go as far to say that what the queen said was all staged to make it more of a headline.

To think that the royal family is not racist is so redickulous...they are more than racist, they think their blood line nevermind race is worthy of all their wealth and luxuries over other people.

I knew when the papers were full of this that it was William who had been racist about Meghan and Archie

All the signs point to it being him, yes

KeflavikAirport · 19/10/2021 11:45

moral leadership? from the RF? Are you having a laugh?

ChurchofLatterDayPaints · 19/10/2021 12:30

Yes Keflavik. It's all you can do at some of the posts on here.

Roussette · 19/10/2021 12:59

Moral leadership my arse. That's ridiculous.

They are NOT who I'd be looking to for moral leadership in a million years, are there people who actually would? Shock
Too much in the way of affairs, protecting their money, land and position, and disgusting behaviours like PAs over decades not called out.
There needs to be massive changes, we're 2021, times have changed

Also that blackmoor statue at Camilla's house is seriously racist.

WhiskyXray · 19/10/2021 13:22

Right? What pleasure could you possibly derive from such an object, unless it were, "Har de har, it looks like a black slave from the good old unemancipated days of yore"?

Roussette · 19/10/2021 13:31

And then we have Princess Michael of Kent with her revolting blackamoor brooch she inadvertently wore at the engagement party to welcome Meghan
VILE WOMAN

I posted that link just to illustrate the point about what the RF could have done, to distance itself from its horrific racist and Nazi past.

"Moral leadership" is one of the ridiculous arguments trotted out by monarchists to justify the RF's existence.

Funny, don’t remember seeing photos of William embracing any other (white) friends

@Changemaname1

I read that as tactile and was confused as fuck
Same here. But we can't point out the reason or we'll be in trouble. Confused

You don't have to be a greatest fan of Meghan - you don't even have to like her let alone think she is above criticism - to think that she has been treated just appallingly by the media. Obviously some members of her own family have made it worse for her, but with the gleeful collusion of sections of the media as well as of the public. I don't believe there isn't a racist element to all the vilification either.

And the RF have done nothing at all to protect her from it. They have thrown her & Harry to the wolves (to deflect the negative press) whilst making a public show of protecting Andrew. TBH I don't know why they get such a hard time from sections of the public when what they have done is much the same as Harry's mother did before. But then she was from an 'aristocratic' family & was blonde.

Great post @Livingtothefull

I do think there is an element of diversionary tactics at times, and that was certainly the case a while back. 'Sources' briefing their favourite RR's at a convenient time to divert away from PA.

No wonder H&M left. I hope they avoid coming back if at all possible
