To think Harry and Meg should be banned from the Queens Jubilee?

Why are they bothering?

They hate the UK, the RF, the whole institution and couldn’t wait to escape, accused the RF and British public of being racist, not welcoming Meg, or caring about her mental health. Her SIL even made her cry allegedly! They did a public interview about it being so hard being a Duke and Duchess in the UK that they just had to flee to a California mansion so they could be Royal there instead.

Do we as the public want to see them at a publicly funded celebration of our Queens 70 years on our throne? All they’ve done is embarrass the monarchy selling stories and their connection.

AIBU to think the Queen should have cut them orf?

[Yes, Andrew has massively embarrassed the monarchy as well but he didn’t flounce from the UK and give interviews about how the RF let him down.]

So, if I do a search then there will be evidence of your equally robust contributions to those threads. no, I didn't think so.

Yes, I would expect so. Search away please.

JemimaPuddlegoose · 31/05/2022 18:54

I call out racism, Sinophobia, Islamophobia, and antisemitism whenever I see it and that includes Mumsnet.

It's noticeable how many of the most aggressive anti-Meghan posters are always first in line in threads about any kind of racial issue to tell us that golliwogs are innocent fun victim to woke culture, racism doesn't exist, BLM protestors are thug scum, and they usually coincidentally passionately dislike Diane Abbott, Serena Williams, etc. for reasons they insist completely unrelated to their race.

Nice try managing to shorthorn "some (one) of my best friends are non-white" and "playing the race card" all in one post.

Interesting that Candace Owens re-uses that phrase a lot. Does she have a free pass from you to say what she likes?

Yep. Get to searching. I cant abide racists especially types who have non-White friends then scuttle off to be racist online behind their backs.

I dont play pick n mix I find all racists equally distasteful

Take your time.

  1. Andrew did a whole lot more than 'embarrass' them. He's an alleged sex offender. Seeking to minimise him to make H&M look bad is frankly gross.
  1. Sorry, but I'm afraid Harry knows the Queen an awful lot better than you or I do.

Except that I am not racist just because you repeatedly scream that I am. I mean, your analytical skills demonstrably fall well short of formulating a credible case in defense of your position (a common occurrence). The same old hysterical accusations, buzzwords, deflections, eureka moments of calling out hypocrisy.

How dare that black woman step out of line
I cant believe that you are arguing that you are not an out and out racist.

Erm .. so it’s okay for a woman of mixed race to be controlling to her husband then but not a white woman? I really don’t understand your logic. Colour is completely irrelevant.

Controlling, coercive behaviour is the same whatever the persons skin colour is. So OJ Simpsons behaviour wasn’t controlling and abusive because he was black? Please explain how that works.

What some posters seem to believe is that if a person is mixed race or black they are not accountable for their behaviour? They should be immune to public scrutiny? Is that it?

The RF have behaved in very very questionable ways. Charles has made some extremely poor decisions. Andrew is disgusting. Because this is the case, it doesn’t mean other members of the family may also not be behaving well, regardless of their skin tone.

Will Smith came in for criticism because of his recent behaviour but because he’s black , it’s racist to criticise him apparently.

JemimaPuddlegoose · 31/05/2022 19:36

Nobody would be inventing insane lies based on absolutely nothing at all (or based on lies) about Meghan being "controlling" or engaging in "coercive abuse" or diagnosing her with narcissistic personality disorder if she was white.

You're just embarrassing yourself now with this kind of spiteful and absurd reaching.

An unhealthy obsession bordering on demented. Everyone needs a hobby I suppose!

Nobody except the institutionally racist British press and the obsessed people who follow them and believe them is suggesting this.

If there was any evidence they would be publishing it. They don't as they cant. They quote named sources close to the palace (ie we made it up in the pub and the racist British public will believe it)

Can you provide any evidence that Meghan has been diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder? hacked medical records? previous or current doctors?

No because it is all just click bait journalism that sadly some people believe.

I will wait for your evidence. You say that Meghan has been diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder. Prove it.

JemimaPuddlegoose · 31/05/2022 20:16

LilythePunk why are you comparing a happily married couple who appear besotted with each other, to a divorced couple who have both accused the other of serious abuse and are currently in the middle of their second abuse-related court case?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 31/05/2022 20:34

The body language has always been territorial for those who are able to read it

I must admit I didn't read it that way; spending about half the year in the US, it came across to me more as the touchy-feely thing they seem more into than we Brits

Of course I could be wrong though ...

Port1aCastis · 31/05/2022 20:42

Again I agree with Flowery but why oh why do folks allow themselves to be told what to think by the media especially the right wing hate rags. Pretty sure most of us were taught to think for ourselves so why attack a woman based on media bullshit that was dreamed up in the fag shelter.

Nobody has access to Meghan's private medical info not even the Daily Fail so why do folks think they can slander and decide that she has this that or the other disorder because let's face it you don't bloody know for sure and a media outlet that labels a woman with an X or y condition should be bloody well ashamed. I bet the idiots that concoct this bile couldn't ever take it themselves.

AltaNova · 31/05/2022 21:00

I take anything I read with a pinch of salt.

I take any theories or hearsay with a pinch of salt.

If I didn’t see it,then can’t comment.

Harry is on video saying racist comments.

Harry and Meghan are on Oprah saying differing versions about their future child and the colour of their skin (Harrys’ version) v Meghans’ version while she was pregnant.

Who is telling the truth?

Forinara · 31/05/2022 21:05

What an inversion! You could not make it up! I'm sure you really believe it though!

I’m making the point that the colour of someone’s skin does not excuse them from scrutiny or being held accountable .

Held accountable for... the fact some online stalkers who are utterly fixated with hating a woman they've never met have invented insane lies about personality disorders?

Held accountable for "abusing" her husband who appears perfectly happy and certainly has never claimed that his beloved wife is abusing him?

orwellwasright · 01/06/2022 10:13

Love watching the racists scream 'I'm not racist!' as if that makes their vicious hysterical attacks on a woman they've never met somehow ok.

LilythePunk · 01/06/2022 10:43

I would make the point that you have no idea what colour posters are, or what their background is. A lot of assumptions here.
