Keeping up with the Markles

Indeed, it would be great to have the full context on exactly how it played out. That's never going to happen though as they don't want to out anyone specifically, we can just assume the family enjoys casual racism, Harry included.

Its certainly been fairly well reported that they dont really give a toss about anything normal.

People are acting like the royals are gods or something. Its like all the stories about the royals in the past is all forgiven now that Meghan is here all the other royals are guilt free.

Perfect play really, accuse someone... but never name names. No defence ever, so always guilty really.

Have to just assume all members of the Royal Family are racist.

Im going to guess they have a pretty low opinion of everyone outside their own personal circle.

Intent is everything - could be a perfectly innocent question.

I know we had this discussion when my sister was pregnant with my niece and that wasn't a negative conversation at all.

Doesn't matter the intent in this regard, the question was asked, so now it's an inherently racist thing. You can see it from Oprah's reaction, and going out in America with that point, in light of all the things that have happened with regards race is a very bad look.

Has anyone got a transcript of the section of interview regarding the title / black baby conversation?

The snippets i've seen certainly mix up the topics and leave it open for inference but I can't see that they've directly made the claim that the child wouldn't be titled because he might be too black, just that both topics were mentioned - but aware that different media will spin it to suit their own take on it, hence wondering if a transcript is available.

Here's the video clip

 
"Do more about the climate everyone", whilst flying around in a private jet.
"We need to be resourceful, not wasteful", whilst living in a multimillion pound mansion.
"We just want a private life", Netflix, Oprah, James Corden interviews.

Utter unlikeable hypocrites.
 
The Monarchy has been here many, many times before. They've faced no end of crisis over the generations.

They struggle to adapt and keep up with the pace of the modern world. In a society where everyone is offended, has an opinion on everything and anything, 100+ genders, racial super equality...they may not be able to change enough this time round.

I was surprised they allowed Harry to marry a mixed race American in the first place.

LOL yes because youve been completely neutral so far. I expect stuff like this from the raving nutters here Dolph but come on you are better than this surely?

I have to say you seem to have three weak spots. Labour the EU and Meghan Markle. Its a very odd mix as the Meghan thing is just gutter press trash.

I've posted more details in the thread in SC on specifics (and acknowledging my potential biases), I don't fancy repeating them in here though.

That's also why I'm trying to stick strictly to fact based critiques.

Dolph posted the rules they go by.

They aren't rules they might be tradition but they aren't rules. The queen can and has broken centuries old protocol when ever she sees fit or to adapt to modern expectations.
Its not a question of if she could have but a question if she wanted to, she can do what she pleases.

And just so it’s clear how on side the British media are, complicit in the cover up.

Edit: as pointed out I did misread the post and thought it was only referring to coverage for both in March of 2021 not at the relevant times.

As below it's still relevant that Meghan and Harry more often seek press coverage (but only want positive coverage) vs Prince Andrew who has generally kept a low profile with a notable exception being the TV interview he did last year.

Apologies to hurf for misreading the post.

When people quote figures like this, on these forums, I keep coming back to the observation that the only explicable answers for such posts are ignorance with regards to the fundamentals of the point they think they are making or outright disingenuouity re the subject at hand.

Let's take the embedded tweet in the above post that compares he amount of media coverage of Prince Andrew vs Meghan and Harry in March of 2021.


Geez I wonder why Meghan and Harry have attracted more media attention, so far, in March of 2021 after they announced a high profile 'tell all' interview with Oprah in mid February of 2021 where it was highly anticipated they would have a go at the monarchy vs coverage of Prince Andrew who presumably has either decided or been told in the strangest of terms to keep the lowest of profiles since his disastrous TV interview last year that received extensive press coverage at the time....


It's a compete and utter mystery... /s

Surely they wouldn't if they were racist and much less put on the full royal wedding treatment.

Everything I've seen shows they were warmly welcomed into the royal family but they didn't want to put in the work and instead fancied a celebrity lifestyle so agitated for a move away.

No sorry Dolph you have entered the gutter press level for me now.

Well, ok, as you forced the issue.

When I was younger, I was in an abusive relationship for 7 years, involving behaviours from my partner that would these days be prosecutable under coercive control. I was alienated from my family and friends (it's the reason I have pretty much no contact with anyone from my youth), financially controlled and so on.

The behaviour of the duchess of Sussex strongly reminds me of my ex, as does many of the justifications people throw around because there is a whole stigma around the situations that normalise such things.

So, with that said, kindly jog on you insensitive ****.
