This thread was deleted with a message about having a single thread in relation to Harry and Meghan, with a link posted to a message about racism. I don't understand this in the context of the thread, which was a hypothetical question about the line of succession, to which many had posted informative responses. I didn't see every response on the thread, but it didn't seem to be critical of Harry and Meghan in its tone. I'm not contesting the deletion if MNHQ thought it warranted, but the content of the deletion message didn't seem to reflect its content at all - could MNHQ possibly explain this further?

Hi Pelleas, we took the thread down after receiving a number of reports that its sensationalism was not in the spirit of the site ('if the Cambridge's were killed in a plane crash') and was turning into yet another 'Meghan thread'. Our deletion message acknowledged the original intention of the discussion (a hypothetical discussion about the line of succession) whilst attempting to provide some context around our moderation of threads on this subject.
