Are Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lili coming back home?

It would be nice to have them back and getting along with the rest of the family, what do people think? They'd have to apologise and try to move forward in a positive way. With Charles being unwell and elderly, and the Wales kids too young to serve as working royals, the Sussex's may be needed. Trump may win the election, which could have a negative impact on them and Archie will start school soon, a great time to relocate home?? Apparently Meghan is looking for PR agencies to help her improve her image. Would the Uk welcome them?

I saw another article (forget where) about her hiring a UK pr team.

If Charles is quite ill and William will be King soon, maybe they want the option to come back if they need to?

Using the phrase that they expected “all of the grandchildren to be treated the same” suggests she really didn’t get why the great-grandchildren born to William were treated differently at the time.
Did she actually say that? Blimey. She really didn't understand the different trajectories her dh and his dcs were on.

Foreign and mixed race isn't the issue. How can anyone respect a liar? How can anyone look at the way she treats people and think she is a decent human being? Or should she not held to the same Standards as Catherine?

I don’t think it was about the trajectories, because once charles became they were treated the same.

I think it’s more that they, or she, didn’t realise that the decision about the Cambridge children was pure PR. It was completely to hide the fact that despite all the primogeniture changes the actual LPs, title passings and the likes within the royal family were (and to a massive extent are still) totally sexist.

I think it was just assumed that all the grandchildren would be titled early because there was no understanding that the titles were actually not about the children at all. Just about looking like they’d modernised more than they have.

I disagree.

I think mixed race is definitely part of the issue.

Are any of the other UK royal family married to anyone mixed race? No they are not.

The "acceptable" bride for a British prince is

"British, demure, white".

Cmon we all know that race was part of the issue.

Meghans personality doesn't seem that bad to me.

Right she's super confident, not submissive. Which can be grating to us more reserved Europeans.

But anyone that I've met from the States has been like that. That is their culture. To be big and confident

You said the way she treats people.

What do you think she did?

I couldn’t wait to get back from Cali. The policing, guns, surgical enhancement, gridlock, fear etc. I even ended up missing the rain, so things must have been bad!

Los Angeles is bad. I've been there.

But I heard from LA people that Santa Barbara, where Harry and meghan live, is very nice.

And this. Any other stereotypes you want to throw out there?

AliceOlive · 08/03/2024 20:59

I think you have zero idea how many mixed race and POC spend time on this board and openly share their own criticisms of Meghan and Harry. They are told it’s all hate. Told anyone can pretend to be anything here or just flat ignored.

Stereotypes exist for a reason @aliceolive!

I have two close American friends.

They told me that in America, they are taught from a very young age to be the best, to believe in themselves, that they were amazing.

I go to a book group every week with mixed nationalities. The Americans in the group always talk first and longest.

You really don't think it's anything to do with racism? I just think that's ridiculous.

Do you not remember the first couple of news headlines about her?

I remember the headlines were:

Harry's new girlfriend is almost straight outta Compton

And

"How Harry's girlfriend ancestors climbed from being dirt poor to her being a duchess"

I agree. I have many American friends.

I think there was some xenophobia, some snootiness about her being an actress (she was referred to as 'the showgirl' by one member of the RF 😮), divorced, mixed race and successful in her own right before meeting Harry.

Yes I do think she is a decent human being and really not sure why she is so hated to be honest

Someone like Gwyneth Paltrow would have fared just as badly if they’d married in and behaved in the same way as Meghan

Janiie · 08/03/2024 21:07

'I remember the headlines were: Harry's new girlfriend is almost straight outta Compton'

One headline. From a journo based in the US!

Harry so wanted it to be all racism, some trolly crap on twitter of course might have been but the criticism and scrutiny has been based on their behaviour not on the colour of her dm's skin.

The UK press have been nasty to a lot of female brides.

Except kate. She has never been targeted really.

It's not easy for any of them. Diana wasn't treated well either.

But the difference aswell is, meghan was from another country. She was likely to want to go back to her country if she was treated badly.

If we were American and married into the UK royal family and all of a sudden got a huge amount of abuse, wouldn't we all want to go back ro our home country where we know we would get less abuse. I'd be gone.

There was more than one headline

. From various journalists. You can still see them all online.

Every time this is mentioned someone says....ahhh but the writer of the article was American
Dont care, it was front page DM

And then we have Boris Johnson's sister writing about exotic blood entering the RF
WTAF

If there were so many you should have no trouble listing them?

Even Oprah had to resort to fake headlines and fake paparazzi to suggest that they were targeted by a racist media.

Bingo!

It wasn't one headline. Are you serious.

I remember headlines going on for about a year.

JSMill · 08/03/2024 21:15

Kate has never been targeted? Where did the term Waity Katie come from then? She was also ruthlessly hounded by the paparazzi before marrying William. There were numerous horrible articles about her family, portraying them as determined social climbers. Kate and Pippa were apparently the 'Wisteria sisters'. There's been lots of negative stories about Carole as she is guilty of being a working class woman who has done well.

Lol

Waity Katie.

Is barely an insult. I mean come on. It's the tiniest insult ever.

I remember thar meghans mum said that photographers used to take photos of skid Row in LA, and say that is where meghans mother lived.
