Prince Harry

[Sasaferrato]

Well, there's a bit of snark in the Daily Mail one, but it's fair comment to say they took a day off.

So, in the set of pics Danny just posted up, what is your explanation?

It soured. And the press are cunts.

Sasaferrato
What ‘woke bollocks’? Really doubling down on the racism here. Not giving a very good account of yourself are you?

 

[bimble]

Ya know what though, I think it’s probably a good thing that a) some family member said it out loud, the bit about what if your kid comes out dark brown how would that go and then b) that’s now been aired publicly without naming one individual as being the big racist, it being presented as more a general problem.
The question / ‘concern’ itself isn’t actually shocking or surprising is it, in the context, just would have expected all that racism and anxiety about blood lines to be done silently, swept well under the expensive rug, this being England.

Well, no one's arguing the second count. I don't watch closely enough to be able to say, but Meghan must have done a string of pretty terrible things.

 

[Sasaferrato]

So you admit the Royal family are racist! wahaay!

You really need to take a 'critical thinking' course.

From the evidence, one of the royal family (may be or is) racist.

 

[1927]

Frogmore. The move to the States, (without informing the Queen of their intention), the 'woke' bollocks they have been spouting, the venality of the couple (Netflix).

Most things small, but cumulatively turned the GBP against them, this mirrored by the press.

A clusterfuck all round really.

A pity, but Harry broke the 'deal', he had a life of immense privilege, the downside of course was a life of 'royal service'. Meghan couldn't handle that, she seemed to have no understanding of what she was signing up for.... basically having to cease having an opinion on anything at all contentious.

Had things been done differently...

Would you consult your grandmother before moving? the fact that they did actually inform her tho has clearly by passed you.

 

[xenon]

Your head really is a strange place.

Are you of the view that any allegation, made by any person, should be automatically believed, without further check?

Are you Tom Watson?

You rekcon Harry's lying then?

Does that not strike you as a bit far fetched. That he would openly lie against his own family.

Whilst all the other stuff "awful behaviour" you've presumably read about in the same press that demonstrably have treated M and K differently, is true.

Seems a bit bizarre to me.

Give it a rest you pillock. They have been wittering on about 'living authentically' (whatever that means) and other such Californian tosh.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Sasaferrato, what does 'woke' mean to you?

 

[Sasaferrato]

No, because it would take a séance to do so.

A prince of the realm isn't me though.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

As far as I can see, all that those contrasted stories demonstrate conclusively is that the media have treated the two women very differently, they don't demonstrate that the reason for that difference is necessarily racism.

There are other differences between Meghan and Kate which might have explained the difference, at least to the casual observer.

I also wasn't aware that Harry and Meghan had themselves previously suggested that the difference was down to racism. This interview and the question about the expected baby's skin colour is the first thing I've seen which is clearly and unmistakably an example of that.

Ahem.

Sasaferrato, what does 'woke' mean to you?

Gwyneth Paltrow's fanny scented candles and other such bullshit aimed at parting the gullible from their cash.
Have I used the wrong word?

 

[8ball]

...the 'woke' bollocks they have been spouting...

You mean like the Mumbai stuff?

Meghan Markle ‘was woke before she met Prince Harry’

MEGHAN MARKLE was "woke before she met Harry" and her life experiences were "different" to the Royal Family, an expert has claimed.

I think you've confused 'woke' with 'woo'.

Nothing about candles or Gwyneth Paltrow in the dictionary:

 

[LDC]

FFS, this thread.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Have you used it wrong Sasaferrato, or is a black woman being alert to racism bollocks?

 

[chilango]

Again. The lengths people who get upset at being called racist will go to in order to try and discredit or undermine allegations of racism is quite telling.

yes, YES you very much have

Indeed.

Oh bugger.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

So what's the woo bollocks these two have been up to?

 

[IC3D]

I think we can all agree that it’s a good idea to #AbolishPiersMorgan

He's been pretty good sticking up for NHS workers and couldn't give a fuck about royals, pro, anti firm or chicken rescuers

 

[8ball]

So what's the woo bollocks these two have been up to?

They've been doing it en masse? Didn't you see?!

 

[two sheds]

Come on people this is a Royal Thread, have a bit of respect :rolleyes

couldn't give a fuck about ... chicken rescuers

 

[not a trot]

Has the royal fam abdicated yet? Let me know when they do please.

Abdicate ! Fuckers can't even go on holiday.

 

[andysays]

Ahem.

I hadn't seen that before, and that story does appear to have racist undertones.

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to argue that none of the stuff written about her has been racist, I'm saying that in most of the stuff I personally had read before reports of the interview (which I'm sure is only a small proportion of what actually exists) the racism hasn't been explicitly the reason for the inequal treatment of Meghan compared to Kate.

 

[IC3D]

I thought it would go Pete Tong cos she is a Septic. Didn't occur to me she was black for a while but my interest was limited.

 

[Pickman's model]

even if urban lasts a thousand years they will still say this was one of sasaferrato's unfinest hours

"Home sweet home? Prince Harry's new girl, Meghan Markle, grew up in this house in Crenshaw, Los Angeles, a troubled area that had 47 crimes in the past week - including murder..."

Fucking hell, that's a tiny fart in a tornado compared to the crimes committed in Westminster.
