There was a lot of speculation who made the comment after Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview.

She says it wasn't a racist comment. The family were concerned about Meghan in general and it has been twisted by Meghan and Harry.

I don't think Meghan and Harry are on Lady C's Christmas card list. 😲

Hahaha, I love it when MN thinks they are linking a story from a non-tabloids, when that paper clearly states that it got the news from the Daily Fail.

Further, as a Kiwi, I wouldn't call the NZ Herald a non tabloid. 😉

Clutching straws again. Yes it does say that it was from British tabloids. So? Someone asked for a link to what a the poster is referring too. You really need to get some prospective or take a chill pill. People know it is all gossip and here say. Unlike some of the personal statements from the pair themselves that can be fact checked.

Hahaha, I don't know them. But I also remember someone linking New Idea, which even I know is the lowest trash. Grin

You should try some of the tabloids outside the UK or AmericaGrin I am stunned at the extent of their gossip and the angles used. Australia is a shocker for stuff about this pair.

Doesn’t everyone take this stuff with a pinch of salt? Including the stuff that the Sussexes say.

The Sussexes are telling us about their own lived experience not an unknown 'palace source' or 'friend' said......... . So no, not the same.

People listen to them because this is the 4th time they have spoken personally. Other times were at charity events, about the those events. Where exactly did they lie at these events?

Everything else has been from tabloids and sources - who mostly give us their opinion and twists.

If they were just talking harmlessly about their life experiences etc. Then people wouldn't have felt the need to fact check. However you know the stuff they said was not harmless don't you. Therefore people will check things like how titles are given. Plus a lot of people knew that fact already. So were sat watching and saying that is right etc.

Once you get to a situation were one or two things are said in an interview you then check everything else. Well some people do and the media definitely do.

If they had just said someone in the family made a racist remark and during the pregnancy suicidal thoughts happened. I don't think anyone anywhere would have challenged them but they didn't. Once one lie is found people will doubt other things said.

Plus people would still say name the racist person. Don't label your whole family. Which is what the result of not naming does. Proof is William's outburst of "We are not a racist family". I personally can't imagine what feeling the world are calling you whole family racist is like but horrific I can imagine.
