I don't believe either King Charles or Princess Catherine are racists. I think Meghan hated Princess Catherine so much she'd say anything to get her discredited if she could.

🤣

I'm sure I saw a post on X with screenshots from the book referencing conversation between then PC and C word for word regarding the skin colour of the baby and then referencing then DoC, I think these were from Bradby's book? I don't want to confuse but I think so. In any event, what Omid Scobie wrote about it was already in the public domain for quite some time.

actually made popcorn....

loving all the surmising about relationships you know nothing about but which are misrepresented in the press

tyvm there's a lot of comedy gold on this thread and I am here for it

You can tell the people who have no argument and no valid points on this thread. They keep posting PMSL emojis. And naff-all else.

How bizarre.

TeenLifeMum · 29/11/2023 23:24

@Myfabby can you explain the micro aggressions you see in my post? I’m genuinely keen to understand a different perspective as I don’t see it that way.

I thought I was able to recognise racism, and I’ve been very shocked at how naive I am about antisemitism. I’m always looking to learn.

Lancrelady80 · 29/11/2023 23:24

How come noone has ever considered the possibility that the "concerns" and "discussions" might well have been about how the press would react, and the social media trolls? Especially given all the nasty and overtly racist stories when H&M got together? I can absolutely see that conversation being had in terms of how to handle any press negativity, and then Chinese whispers (sure there must be a less offensive term!) and lack of context leading to things getting misunderstood and/or totally twisted out of shape.

I expect you will just get this from @Myfabby >>> 😂

They don't seem to be able to post much else.

If Meghan is so concerned about racism she wouldn't have married someone who wore a nazi uniform and had his children and brags about his kill count.

read this. it should help.

MoreStormyWeather · 29/11/2023 23:28

I can't get why this is so strange ... Isa's married to a Malaysian .. my mum mused about what colour her grandchildren would be.,as did I ... their very white mother !!

Was your mum concerned for how it would look and what it would mean though. That’s the issue here, if it was said in that way.

It’s hard to believe it was said in a chatty, friendly musing sort of way when they don’t seem to have been a close family to have that sort of musing conversations. But we’ll probably never know.

As has been said, context is everything.

This. What a bloody storm in a teacup - we are never going to hear the actual truth (as opposed to "their truth") from that entitled, boring, pair.

Dogcatmousecat · 29/11/2023 23:34

albapunk · 29/11/2023 22:13

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.it’s just normal chat amongst families 🤷‍♀️

Looks like you don't either.

Can't give a single example, can you?

I think Meghan is so insanely jealous of Kate she’d say anything.

Maybe Meghan is jealous of the fact that Kate had an independent career prior to marrying a prince, and was already famous for doing well in said career.
Oh wait, that's the wrong way round...

Take this back, not Bradby, sorry. Found the Tweet. This was already published in Brothers and Wives, there are photographs of the relevant pages on X.

or maybe she's jealous of Rose Hanbury😂

FreshWinterMorning · 29/11/2023 23:37

Meghan is hilariously jealous of Kate. She will never be her, no matter how hard she tries - and wishes. And she will never be loved by the public as much as Kate. Shame. 🙁
