Prince Harry

[BlanketAddict]

The thing I don't understand:

'Harry says a large part of the reason they left the UK was racism'

But they've moved to America...

 

[Poot]

Probably the most nauseating thing for me was the insinuation that their sprog didn't become HRH because of racism.

No, their sprog didn't become HRH because of rules laid down by KGV.

The only great-grandchildren of the monarch who become HRH are the children of the heir presumptive, if Charles outlives his mother, and becomes king, at that point the sprog(s) will become HRH, as grandchildren of the monarch.

That's quite an odd thing to get nauseated about, in the grand scheme of things.

But if William and his 3 kids are all killed in a terrible accident, Harry would become next in line after Charles and then Archie could be HRH and a Prince?

Just thinking out loud, TBH

Do you have any views on the racism comments, Sas? I've noticed you've been very quiet about that part of the interview...

OK, so that's the most nauseating thing; care to share the other nauseating aspects?
You never know, some sort of pattern might emerge of what makes you sick.

How can a fucking baby have an approval rating?

In the unlikely event of your opinion being required, you will be notified.

 

[The39thStep]

An apology always makes a difference , however small .

 

[T & P]

How can a fucking baby have an approval rating?

Based on their skills and talents, of course.

Can Archie do this? Well? Can he?

My local rag, and its sister weeklies across East & West Sussex have started a campaign to have them stripped of their titles.



If you have any handy suggestions, you can send your nominations for the alternative Duke and Duchess of Sussex to copydesk.sussex@jpress.co.uk

Trying to think of famous people from Sussex, I've suggested Romesh Ranganathan and his wife Leesa.

Stick your own name down

 

[MickiQ]

They've taken on rescue chickens why do you hate rescue chickens so much?

Are you serious? Is there such a thing as a rescue chicken? Personally I thought that was called shoplifting.

I haven't seen the interview, and won't be seeing it.

I feel that the 'racist' element is something being driven up by the Duchess, as a distraction from their utterly appalling behaviour.

She stated that she had no idea what joining the most high profile family in the land entailed. I suspect she was more than a bit put out that the Queen didn't immediately abdicate in her favour. She expected to be much more 'important' than the position turned out to be, she is the wife of the 'spare' after all, and his importance inevitably waned when his brother's children were born.

When she arrived, she was welcomed. Her behaviour over the time she has been married to Harry has brought about her downfall, not racism or any other 'ism'.

Yet another thing that I had no idea was a real thing, this thread just keeps on delivering.

Piss of and stop trolling, it isn't going to work.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Weird world you live in with all these opinions about the royals.

it takes much less energy just to despise the whole set-up.

Ya daft racist

Out of order.

You didn't watch the interview did you? What was actually said, was:

"[There's a convention] When you're the grandchild of the monarch, so when Harry's dad becomes King, automatically.

"Archie and our next baby would become prince or princess or whatever they are going to be...And so I think even with that convention, I'm talking about while I was pregnant, they said they want to change the convention for Archie. Hmm. Well, why?"

Oprah asks: "Did you get an answer?"

Meghan replies: "No."

I'm not particularly bothered by any of this, but the answer I've given to anyone saying that we shouldn't hate the royals because they don't have a choice in any of this is that of course they do. Any royal could decide to leave the firm, stop taking money and make their own way in the world, so when one of them pretty much does just that, in the midst of pretty blatant racism and hostility from both the media and the royal family itself, I'm not going to be too hard on the couple that leave.

But they've moved to America...

At least everyone knows America is racist, rather than in this country where everyone pretends it doesn't exist.

[killer b]

Out of order.

he claims to be nauseated by some claims of racism made in an interview he refuses to watch. Seems a bit of an odd reaction for someone who's not a racist tbh.

It takes a ridiculous level of dishonesty and outright prejudice to be so utterly and offensively wrong.

He also hasn’t explained why he’s so angry about ‘her behaviour’ or even what it is

Just so things are clear:



However, in 1917, King George V - the Queen's grandfather - issued a written order ruling that only royal offspring who are in the direct line of succession could be made a prince or princess and receive titles of His or Her Royal Highness (HRH).

The Letters Patent read: '...the grandchildren of the sons of any such sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of dukes of these our realms.'


It would not have mattered a toss who the child's mother was, no HRH until Charles is king.
