So who are the 2 royals who commented on Archie's skin now that Piers Morgan has named them on live tv

How did Meghan end up feeling so much hatred towards these people, whose family she was in for all of five minutes? She just seems so vengeful. At some point in the not too distant future their children will become very aware of their parents being no-contact with BOTH sides of the family and that they make their living publicly criticising them. That’s a strange way to live.

IWasFunBeforeMum · 29/11/2023 22:36

Why is a discussion about whose heritage the baby would look like racist? Or as Meghan decided to dress it "they asked how dark the baby's skin would be". Funny how even Oprah has distanced herself after that ridiculously staged open mouthed "what?" 🙄

GrazingSheep · 29/11/2023 22:38

But the thing with hereditary monarchy is that one son's star ascends and the wife becomes Princess of Wales and then Queen. And the second son's star slowly fades in brightness and the wife remains a Duchess and is eventually eclipsed by the first son's children as they become the next heir and spares.

Exactly. And that encapsulates the future of Charlotte and Louis.

Imagine in reality, Meghan being jealous of Kate. With what motive and why? Doesn't add up and just another ploy to demonize and divide. They are both gorgeous women with a lot of power and influence.

If you postulate that Harry has loved Kate all along, then everything else falls in to place

Palmolive22 · 29/11/2023 22:39

Megan and Harry really are repulsive self obsessed liars. She’s endlessly jealous of Catherine, he’s jealous of William. That’s all this is, and the Americans will lather this up into some ‘significant’ racist tension. Which it shouldn’t be when all the family did was discuss what the baby will look like, as we all do with our own families. Harry himself has tried to backtrack on this weeks ago. Stupid boy, literally.

Thanks for saving me a Google.

Not sure how big a deal that is. Context is everything. If it was the only comment that's very different to saying ' I wonder if he'll have red hair like H or dark hair like M? I wonder if he'll be pasty like H or darker skinned like M?' Or were the exact words published?

And there’s many mixed race couples who have defended this sort of question because it really is genetic roulette.

either baby could’ve been as dark skinned as their grandmother or pale and ginger depending on with genes were inherited.

i even considered if my own DC would have the deep olive skin of their grandfather on dads side or the dark hair of their father.

it was neither. Mine is pale, blonde with a ginger glow in the sun. So much so their father is trying to deny paternity despite them being identical in baby/child pictures and have strikingly similar face/nose shapes.

Choux · 29/11/2023 22:41

I think that is a reason they had three children - so there is more than one 'spare'. Plus they keep strong ties with Kates family to keep the kids more balanced.

DH and I often talked about what our mixed race children might look like when I was pregnant.

Doesn’t everybody talk about what their children will look like? Regardless of race?

As a mixed person with mixed kids, this actually really fucking irritates me. Our kids will look like us. Just like allllll the non mixed kids will look like their parents too.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 29/11/2023 22:41

Why is Meghan Markle being blamed with no evidence whatsoever that she was involved beyond fevered hatred of her? The palace camps all leak like sieves and do nothing but brief against each other, surely everyone must know that by now. As for younger university educated people not being racist (presumably this includes middle-aged as well), the videos of blatant jew hatred in many universities prove that totally wrong.

Savagecabbage101 · 29/11/2023 22:41

M & H need to bog off! They need to let it go…! Being royal is the only currency they had, and they’ve blown it out of the water…cutting off the hand that literally feeds them.

exactly this! whenever anyone is expecting a baby in our family, there are extensive discussions on whether baby will be boy/girl/fair/dark/tall/short/personality etc. it's a way of expressing excitement and love. obviously mean comments can be made. Kate is so cautious that even if she is racist (which I highly doubt), she is unlikely to say it openly to meghan like that. Charles, I don't know.

I wish we had context for the actual discussion that happened.

My cousin has mixed race children. It was a running thing in the family (on all sides) as to what the children would look like when they were born and who's skin tone and features they would inherit. They were first grandkids for the dads family, who are not Caucasian. There was absolutely nothing racist about these chats or comments.

Exactly the same in mine. Especially the Jamaican in-laws, they were very vocal they hoped the children would not have ginger afros

Helloooo they are all racist. Everyone knows that!

Have they gone on record saying something racist? I thought the only blatant racist was harry!😂

Lacoutine · 29/11/2023 22:44

Why is everyone believing that (a) OS knows who the two were (if there were two) and (b) that the “leak” in the Netherlands was based on something OS actually wrote?
Soon after the Oprah interview I was talking to someone who is friends with the William and Harry set from when they were running around London in their twenties - they said who they had heard it was (just one person at that point 🤔) and it wasn’t the King or Kate.
And as many PPs have said already it was just idle chit chat as to would the baby have red hair or dark hair.

OutOfSyncWithReality · 29/11/2023 22:44

Meghan thought she would sweep into the fold and be a breath of fresh air to the stuffy royal family and resents the fact her dream did not materialise. She thought she would be equal to Kate in status and popularity and is jealous of Kate because she wasn't. Just my opinion of course and could be wrong. I often am.

Because since her collusion with Scobie over an earlier book - something she had initially denied - was established in court, no-one believes the denials of collaboration this time around.

OneFrenchEgg · 29/11/2023 22:44

I thought in the Oprah interview Harry said these conversations happened before she was pregnant? Which does put a different spin on it.

No, if you google Prince Philip you will find dozens of openly racist comments.

Okay then, Philip and Harry, two we'll known racists.

@OutOfSyncWithReality
To quote @AgathaX, how do you know this, do you know them personally?

Boomboom22 · 29/11/2023 22:47

Ok my theory.
When they met Harry told Megan how great Kate is and how much she'll love her, how alike they are. Then when k and m do meet k os reserved and British and m is overly eager and open in that American way, like Jamie on I'm a celebrity comes across weird to British. M is hurt. H is confused. The feud starts. W backs k obviously and h doesn't get it. W is well aware h loves k too but has no sympathy. Thinks m is a gold digger.
