Meghan said she had no clue who the Royals were yet friends just said she was obsessed with the  Royal family and took pictures in front of the palace.😂

 

I took a photo in front of Buckingham Palace when I was a student studying there. I had to go as part of an assignment where we had to visit a number of British landmarks. I tried to get out of it by visiting Madame Tussaud's Wax museum but I was told that was not on the list of acceptable landmarks. I was pissed, lol. Buckingham Palace is a place where the British Empire has furnished their palace with stolen artifacts from their subjugated colonies and conquests. Talk about gold diggers. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

At least I looked good in the picture.

But as Blanche Deveraux would say...Meghan is a gold digging hussy! 

 

Receipts?

Sorry that's how I feel about her. I wish people on this board would defend others like they do Meghan on here.

I think it would be sadder to see someone who is pushing 40 hanging out at clubs and pole dancing.

The Nazi costume alone was a cry for help.

 

Ah, yes, the Nazi costume.  An "incident" that got swept under the same rug as his grandfather's past, racist comments, almost as soon as it hit the tabloids.  Not too many still talk about the Nazi costume; yet, it's been how many years?  And people remain outraged that Michelle Obama had the audacity to put her hand on Queen Elizabeth's shoulder when they were formally introduced.

If anything racism is worse for black people who live in white, middle to upper income areas than it is for those in low income, heavily black areas.

 

Yep.

On a shallow note, Harry looks very good. And he's being remarkably candid in the special about the symbiotic relationship with the UK press and the royals. I'm too young to know if anyone else from inside (Fergie, Diana) ever was on record, and Diana was not born into it like him.

Frankly, unless there's proof she's also lying about the racism she's encountered as a (now-former) Royal, that's irrelevant.

Oh the irony!

 

Honestly though, I believe that one has the capacity for change, but one must demonstrate that change in actions, not just words and although I was dubious about anyone being that clueless about the implications of wearing such a costume, I have since given Harry the benefit of the doubt, even before he married Meghan.

 

If anyone tries to make pronouncements on the feelings of the Commonwealth without acknowledgement of the fact that the majority of the Commonwealth consists of people if a darker hue, well as someone whose heritage intersects with that a former colony that whose people were enslaved by Great Britain and Spain, we'll, I just can't take anyone who fails to acknowledge that seriously.

Probably Andrew because I guess pedophiles are persecuted. Notice how the defenders of the BRF don't ever say a word about why the BRF never came out in support of Meghan and Harry and all the attacks in the press.  NOT ONE WORD.  Yet Andrew well they circle him with their protection for a pedophile.

Never mind.  I shouldn't have even brought it up because things never change on here.

Has nothing to do with the royals... I was referring to posters on this board. The bullies that still exist.

No, I'm referring to the "others" who haven't been defended the way Meghan has.  Who should have been defended here that hasn't?

This is pretty gutwrenching in the middle portion - Meghan talking about being suicidal.

Yes. The portions around mental health, wellness, and well being are another example of BRF not making the right choices in providing those resources and support. Especially during a global pandemic. Those are damning reports. Harry and Meghan saying they would have stayed if they gave her protection and support is really bad. 

It's been mentioned, but:

And mental health is one of the causes William allegedly advocates for.
