Is there anyone out there who is still on Harry’s side?

And if so, how do you reconcile all the inconsistencies in his stories?

Most specifically him saying they never said the RF was racist, despite accepting an award for fighting racism in the RF?

I get there are people who are anti-royalist, but that doesn’t need to immediately translate to supporting H&M.

If anything, their actions are making the monarchy stronger because he can’t prove anything and people have no idea what ‘leaks’ he’s actually referring to.

I have no earthly idea what happened and neither do you.

Ah, we’re back to our beloved context again. It’s certainly doing some heavy lifting round here at the moment. Try posting it on the Black Mumsnetter board - in any context - and see what happens to you.

I do: William pushed him over. Very unlikely Harry would make something like that up. But I realise you don't want to admit that.

Context is key in this instance. There is simply no history of the word uppity bring used in a racist way to describe white people. This was not a racist use of the word and you don't seem to have any counter argument to that.

There are plenty of us out here who couldn't care less about the ignorant little oaf.

I agree with the PP saying that unconscious bias, prejudice and racism are on the same spectrum. I think Harry was probably trying to soften the blow to his family by reframing the issue. Interesting article on unconscious bias from the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/dec/02/unconscious-bias-what-is-it-and-can-it-be-eliminated

‘Countless studies have confirmed the power of racial biases to shape everyday decisions in almost every aspect of life'

Or possibly the family have challenged H&M to name the person involved and it's turned out the story wasn't quite as presented? (Especially when even their original telling was at variance)

It's certainly something I'd have asked if a similar smear was made against my family, and as said before I just wonder if Harry would have had a credible reply

Haha. There are plenty of Harry supporters on these threads and plenty of “normal” people who don’t come on these threads but don’t support Harry.

“Uppity”? What an incredibly racist term that is.

That's the first I've heard of it. If you're a person of colour, I will of course take on board what you say.

Horseshit yourself. Unless you're a POC

I don’t see myself picking a side as it has nothing to do with me. But I find myself more sympathetic to Harry and Meghan than a good portion of the royal family.

@Loveisloveis absolutely ridiculous statement again.

All white people have been racist?!! I mean- what?!
