Omid Scodie says Meghan was wrong about Archie becoming a prince at birth

999 replies

artquejtion · 01/05/2021 09:32

He has publicly stated that Meghan was incorrect about her understanding of the protocol around Archie becoming a Prince.

Considering Omid seems to the M & H unofficial spokesperson, it is more than likely that Meghan now realises this is the case and his skin colour would not have been a deciding factor in it.

it does make you wonder why Harry did not explain it to her ? did he just not have a clue about about Royal protocol and succession, maybe he never needed to understand it. . Or was he so desperate to get her to marry him that he fed her a load of bull, i.e. our kids will be princesses and princes. Did he hope he could convince the queen to change protocol for his family?

Please don't get this thread deleted with comments which MN don't like, I am beginning to suspect there are posters who purposely troll M & H threads to ensure MN will delete them, so there is never a discussion allowed to stand..

@ohforarainyday

What is the “other” forum people keep mentioning? Why the secrecy?

The secrecy is because its name is banned here. Posts containing that name are auto-deleted.

It's a forum started up by posters who had been banned from here, and they're extremely critical towards MN and towards specific people working at MN, so for obvious reasons MNHQ don't want to give them traffic. There was also an issue where the people who started the other forum kept coming here and spamming threads and spamming people's PMs with links to their forum.

The forum has closed

Hasn't that site been taken down now?

Yes and how ironic the Sussexes have followed suit.

I totally agree - she's a massive hypocrite. But I don't blame her for cutting her weird family out all the same.

Such a shame someone as environmentally conscious as Meghan and Harry decided to release a birthday photo with balloons. You'd think they would know the damage balloons cause.

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 06/05/2021 20:41

@Puzzledandpissedoff

(The archbishop) didn't want to comment on any private moments he was privy to he simply confirmed the marriage happened on the day we all thought it happened, at Windsor Castle

Ah - thanks, Frangipani

So we still don't know what, if anything, happened 3 days before the actual wedding

I think the general consensus was that they had some schmaltzy LA-style vow exchange in the back garden. I love how she said "we rang the Archbishop and asked him to come down" - because you just check in on someone with a diary as wide open as the Archbishop of Canterbury to see if they can nip to your castle for an hour Grin

@smilesy when they were just dating and I'd seen her picture I didn't realise she was mixed race. When he put out a statement about racist press I assumed he meant anti-American Blush

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 06/05/2021 20:44

I like the photo, they want to protect his privacy whilst giving their fans something. It reminds me of Christopher Robin!

Look at these hypocrites H&M, a couple grafters, I imagine they're not naive about the sycophants or their own abilities. Very different to the rest of the royals in that respect.
Do they no know that Royals must keep their heads down and be more classy than trying to be Kardashians, doing YouTube videos. How attention seeking !
To top it off so many struggling you tubers in their parents basement trying to make it work, and they are taking up space.

Oops sorry no, my mistake it's not H&M, it's actually William and Kate Middleton. Oh , in that case, good for them, look how graceful they are as real royals.

Enjoy your next episode of Keeping up with the Kambrishians !

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 06/05/2021 20:51

@Mummy194 I couldn't really follow your last post but I think W&K work well as a royal duo because they DO realise the job is about smiling sweetly, nodding, keeping your head down and keeping your opinions to yourself. I mean they're dull as ditchwater but dull and aloof is the only way to be a successful RF. The Queen is a roaring success as a monarch but could anyone (except those who know her) give an accurate description of her personality? Rightly or wrongly, I think H&M wanted more than just being dull puppets no with no personality, whereas W&K accept that is how they need to be and embrace it

@Mummy194. I assume your rather unclear post is about the Cambridge’s YouTube channel? I’m not sure it can be compared to the Kardashians as I assume it’s not about earning money. Also. I don’t believe it is taking up space that some struggling basement YouTuber needs. I wasn’t aware that space on YouTube was limited.

Sadsiblingatsea · 06/05/2021 21:14

@ChardonnaysPetDragon Good point. But I see absolutely no evidence that either of them do anything environmental at all.
Pair of absolute phonies.

No, I was referring to how H&M were portrayed because some RRs assumed they would do videos about themselves. H&M never said they would, but it did not stop the press and MNers from having a go at them on something they thought they would do.

Also they were labeled 'attention seekers' if they would. All based on 'if'. Now the Cambridges are doing it they are praised instead.
Most of my wording actually comes from this thread regarding H&M. they were accused of trying to be Kardashians. But look now !

No, they would not take up space, just as MM book would not take up space - which she has been accused of with her book and their Netflix and Sportify deals.

Marmaladeagain · 06/05/2021 21:22

If they want the ridicule of everything they do to stop, then they need to stop using the titles and stop referencing the RF, who are obviously intending to keep them as far away as possible (same as Meghan does to her own family).

Their royal stories will be as elegant as Burrell’s soon, they were in RF for 18 months married and gone now for 18 months.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 06/05/2021 21:23

The recent photos of Archie are apparently really pictures of the son of one of Megan's friends. Google Brynn Gingras and Gavin. Gavin has dark hair which is probably why the pictures are sepia toned as it would be very obvious that they're not Archie.

And the point of that would be?

Yes , exactly.

Roussette · 06/05/2021 22:40

The photos of Archie on the beach had him with dark hair. So that's a load of tosh

catinboots123 · 06/05/2021 22:44

@ohforarainyday

In fact the opposite is true - posters regularly make the outrageous claim that none of the hatred was racial, that Meghan's never been racially abused, that they've never seen a racist comment on MN, that racism is all just something black people make up so they can play the victim

Shock who on earth said that on here?

catinboots123 · 06/05/2021 22:47

Someone actually said that black peoples make up racism?

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 06/05/2021 22:50

I highly doubt this is a "regular MN claim"

[quote JustLyra]@MrsRockAndRoll The wedding was earlier in the day at Windsor Guildhall. The blessing/prayer service is what was televised.

His two sons, his siblings and their children were all there. His parents were not.[/quote]
