The royal wedding who cares.(Maybe Meghan)(Lovers of Royal Wedding thread)

I love Fergie. I was glad she was invited.

There was the thing that she offered access to Prince Andrew for money.

But that was set up by a Tabloid reporter. Pretending he was a Sheikh willing to invest loads of money, and then asked her would he be able to meet Andrew.

Of course the Tabloid were going for the story to set her up and make her look bad. So I don't really care.

She always comes across as funny, lovely and genuine to me.

I was hoping some jihadists would use this chance to take out all the royal family and they Theresa May bot. No such luck sadly

The law changed in 2013 that only the six in line to the throne need permission, so he still needed permission. Another baby from Kate would make him 7th in line so he wouldn't need permission to marry or divorce from her Maj.

RTE giving false information so yesterday haha #firetheresearcher

Ms Markle is probably the maximum amount of blackness at the minimum distance from the succession tolerable for the royal family. If you knew nothing about her background you'd probably guess she is hispanic or perhaps from the Maghreb or Levant.
That she is the female and the royal is male probably eases some of the qualms the public and the establishment might have about the marriage - if the first in line to the throne was a princess and she arrived back from the States with some Wesley Snipes or Flavor Flav looking dude I've no doubt the reaction would be completely different.

this.

I really like Meghan and Harry and they seem really happy together but I don't like this whole fuss about her being from an afro-american background and the royal family being so tolerant these days.

Firstly, as Sabat pointed out, she's very lightly skinned, you wouldn't think she has an afro-american parent. Additionally, she wears her hair always straight ( I ask myself, why..?). When I first saw her, I actually thought she has some hispanic background.

So for me, all this tolerance is completely hypocritical seeing the things Sabat pointed out.

Yeah and it'd be a different thing if she was dark-skinned and had an afro or braided hair or really embraced her black heritage more than her white heritage but that's very much not the case. She's culturally and aesthetically white, to all intents and purposes.

We don't know whether she embraces her black heritage from a cultural point of view less than her white. I would actually question this because she's doing a lot of charity work in Africa.

But from her looks, from my point of view, she's not standing by her african heritage. Ok, she's obviously lightly skinned, but why she's not wearing an afro, even from time to time? that makes herself a bit hypocritical too, I think. The gospel choire at the wedding, the black bishop with his sermon...and herself??

I really liked her mother for wearing her normal afro hair at the wedding. she actually looked like no hairdresser touched it, she looked like she came straight from the garden or housework.
really liked it.

Would you not try to be more white in a racist world?
Even Beyonces father says she is as famous as she is because she whitened her looks. That the public would not have accepted her being really black.
When I was in Indonesia and in India, they all use whitening creams.
Beyonce and most famous black women chemically straighten their hair. It is the only way that you can properly straighten an afro. Meghan has done the same.

Racism is still everywhere.

Oh for god sake. Couple of white (women) demanding how a mixed race woman should look not to let her side down. What about those here, are you embracing your Irish roots and not using fake tan? Do you comment on every other Irish woman who uses fake tan, how she should be embracing her celtic heritage?

She definitely did away with alot of her African American features, but to be honest so would I, in the world it as it stands today.

I met the sweetest girl in Madrid, and she told me that she went around to her friend's housez and the friend's Dad said, "why the f"ck did you bring a (n word) into this house".

If it means being less attacked, I would change my features too.

She (and Harry) will probably do alot for black people anyway.

And, I hope, for women. She's a strong woman, and a feminist.

The Royal family is a big platform to speak from.

If we could get rid of racism and sexism, imagine what the world will be like.

From which you're not supposed to be political.
How much can any of the royal family do?

Her and Harry have already done alot of engagement work and charity stuff.

He set up his own charity in Africa.

They are buzzing with passion
