You've articulated this so nicely - Thank you!

When you are subject to daily microaggressions, having you assess what should be simple civil conversations, it gets tiring. When it is insinuated that you are not where you are because of merit or that your children get into a good uni on a contextual offer. When there is blatant racism and people try and gaslight the facts, it is the most frustating thing ever!

No one thinks Meghan ,Duchess of Sussex is perfect. No one is perfect quite frankly. It is the issue that people are ok with imagining her being dragged naked through the streets pelted with poo. Yet we have an adulterer King who treated the wife of his youth very badly and caused untold damage to his poor sons, Andrew and his dalliances with underaged children but none of that quite frankly revolting vitriol is reserved for them.

Plenty of hate is sent Meghan's way because she refused to keep her head down and just be grateful to be a part of the BRF. All the racists and racist apologists on this thread are affronted that she dares to turn their back on their white privilege and dysfunction.

100% this. Many other members of that family are guilty of poor - possibly criminal - behaviour and judgment, yet they get a free pass. Andrew is safely in the Royal fold with public displays of support from his family, and Meghan is vilified.

As a trip down memory lane, see attached the utterly vile, misogyinistic and overtly racist, article about Meghan, from before she even married Harry. I just don't think she ever had a chance of being accepted in many quarters given the hate she had to face in this country from day 1.

The royal apologists on here need to reflect on how this makes us look as a country.

Yes....I guess. It just boggles my mind that anyone could be persuaded to give a shit about any of these people.

Scooby Doo clearly had something to do with these names being in this book in the Netherlands. Obviously the names where in there originally ( they are whole paragraphs) and removed for some reason.

Could that reason be because it’s liable/ defamation of character?

Whether Charles and Kate said it or not, there’s no proof of it, just M&H’s word. Publishing this has tarnished their reputations.

Surely OS up for being sued big time now?

mantyzer · 30/11/2023 19:40

Why are you calling him Scooby Doo?

LuluBlakey1 · 30/11/2023 20:11

The translator in the Netherlands has said the names were in the English edited version given to her to translate into Dutch.

Of course they were, she didn’t even need to say it, no way she added a few extra paragraphs and decided to name the royals. I mean cmon..

It's amazing how (intentionally?) dense some people are being. There is a huge difference between speculating about how a child is going to look and speculating about how a child is going to look because they might have an unwanted characteristic. "Concerns" about a child's skin colour shows that it is not just family speculating out of excitement.

Equally if all depends on context. Mixed race parents talking between themselves is very different from an elite white family expressing “concerns” when the mother isn’t even there. If that happened, it’s a very different kettle of fish.

Oh that’s alright then. Johnny Foreigner with his funny name, no-one could be expected to get that right.

It’s a play on Cockney rhyming slang.
Scooby Doo = clue.
Never heard “haven’t got a scooby”?
Its calling him clueless. It’s an insult yes, but not in the way that you imply.

Right, this is a pretty boring story about family grievances. The Windsors and the Markles are massively dysfunctional, one family in a posh, snobby and ex-colonial way, the other in a trailer trash way. The Middletons are not dysfunctional, they are close knit, loving and supportive upper middle class family. Carol seems to be tough cookie and Michael seems very nice, i'm sure he's a great husband and father. Catherine is doing an amazing job and the monarchy relies on her good, pretty girl from next door wholesome identity and image. I hope The Walses are getting all the love and support they need from the Middletons and their close knit circle of friends. I also hope the school community where the Wales dc go are supportive of the family.

Harry must carry many traumas with him but at least he is privileged, which does sweeten things, rather. Meghan, based on her TV interviews, her affected voice, what she says is a classic bully. She wants to be a super star and comes across as tacky. I don't think she is particularly good looking, she looks ok, many of the mums on my school run look a hundred time more attractive. Meghan, as a person, must be pretty messed up as her mother left her, rumours say she was in jail, in any case she abandoned Meghan for a few years.

Regarding the racist thing, I abhor racism, am quite sensitive to it coming from a mixed ethnic background myself and having experienced it various shapes. Most people have at least unconscious bias, not just white Brits but people form all ethnicities have at least a degree of unconscious bias against people from other backgrounds or they're racist. Of course people in the royal family have at least unconscious bias, probably Catherine less so than most.

That's not really what this is about though. This story is about attacking the Waleses, no one cares about Charles, he's not going to be Kind for decades. Meghan and Harry are envious, petty and meghan is a manipulate, game playing bully. I base this purely on primary sources, their interviews and book. The aim is to destroy the Walses. All this must have a huge impact on their health and welling. The firm needs to modernise and protect its members, especially royal women.

Omid is just a weirdo, he is probably projecting being mixed race himself so this is a topic close to his own experience as he will have experienced racism as well as homophobia. His mother is Iranian and he went to a posh private school but didn't manage to get into a private 6th form so went state then. He didn't go a fancy university either for someone who's a bit of a snob himself. He really must have bags of issues. He hasn't exactly helped himself an i wonder what his parents must be thinking all that money wasted in private school. I reckon his lawyers have informed him that in a worst case scenario he might have to go to prison, I can't imagine him living his best life there, being a pretentious knob.

I hope Catherine and the Wales kids are ok. 💙

YouAreMyCentreWhenISpinAway · 30/11/2023 20:47

He’s not Johnny Foreigner. He’s British and he’s written a book which will be read worldwide and imply that our King, and future Queen are racist. He has no evidence, and it’s a major f*ck up.

He’s an attention seeking idiot whose name is now mud. He’s been slagging off the royal family on behalf of the Sussex’s for ages. I was gobsmaked when I learned he was British. I thought he was American and just part of the “E” entertainment rubbish shows about celebs.

I’m not even a royal fan. If you are British you shouldn’t really be throwing your royal family under a bus. OS should go live in America and stay there. He’s a bottom feeder. He deserves contempt and ridicule and having an Iranian name shouldn’t excuse him from that.

Waitey Katie is pretty derogatory.

But that's OK she's a middle class white woman so deserves all she gets.

I’m a Londoner of course I know “haven’t a scooby”. They’re calling him clueless, likening him to a dumb cartoon dog and it’s play on his name which can’t be expected to get right as it’s forrin. It’s an insult on all fronts let’s be clear.

Where is your evidence that people who are using a derogatory nickname for Omid Scobie are using it because they ‘can’t be expected to get his name right as it’s forrin’? Maybe they just think he is a clueless idiot.

WaggyEars · 30/11/2023 20:59

Prince George will be going to big school soon, if not next yer, then in a couple of years. Insinuating that his mother is racist will give the nasty bully kids that will sadly also be there plenty of power to bully George. If I were Catherine, I'd see Meghan as a mortal enemy.

His father is Scottish. Scobie is a Scottish surname.

Exactly. I don't imagine this all-white elitist family were thinking, "How exciting! Finally a bit of colour. I hope it's dark enough to be seen it in the photos."

Didn’t know that, he’s half Iranian though so mixed race.

Why are you calling him Scooby Doo?

I think it got lost in translation? Or auto corrected? Mine came up as Omid Scabbie..

YouAreMyCentreWhenISpinAway · 30/11/2023 21:06

His father is Scottish. Scobie is a Scottish surname.

Phew, I can carry on ridiculing him knowing it’s not unconscious bias.

AllisColm · 30/11/2023 21:07

Oh and Scabbie is Scottish and I am too so it can't be racist 😂Och aye the noo...
