Harry and Meghan

Is that where that clip of the three of them siting for a photo in the snow comes from ? Is that this time period. My only thing that I remember from the queen mother dying is that one of the BBC presenters was called out for not being in black when the news broke.

"Maybe our mother would still be here if she hadn't married Pa"

Well, in fairness mate, either would you...

I’d agree with all this

They’re a James Hewitt joke there but I can’t think of a good one.

You see H&M could have put this racism bs to bed a lot earlier. Remember Oprah's stupid face when Meghan mentioned it.

That should have been addressed there and then or defo amended before that thing was broadcast.

But no by not addressing it a lot of people were led to believe that some high up royals were racist. That's not right.

Have you not read some of the excerpts? It's comedy gold. Talking to bins, a toilet and the moon as well as rubbing 8 hour cream on his knob while thinking of Mummy. No wonder sales are flying. A multi book deal? Thanks Penguin. 😂

Maybe they all are, some are, none are. They’re humans beings, like us all. All capable of being racist or whatever else. They’re trying to clearly imply it with a very vague story with no actual substance and context, and now rowing back is all that is wrong here.

No. But Happy as Larry is apt here.

Larry Finlay, managing director of Transworld Penguin Random House, said: "We always knew this book would fly but it is exceeding even our most bullish expectations.

"As far as we know, the only books to have sold more in their first day are those starring the other Harry (Potter)."

Chitching!!!! 🤣

Yes, well we know Harry has exhibited racism. That’s one we know of. And his grandfather had a few tales…

anyway, it was a whole lotta nothing that they tried to introduce regarding skin color.

let’s even argue the comment was true and was meant in the actual concerned/not happy/racist sense: big deal. One nameless person shows a staggering ignorance in the year 2019 to be questioning the color of a baby..

It reeks of a complete nonsense to me. Pasty white Harry and slightly tanned Meghan, dating for a few years, married and expecting the beautiful gift of a baby, and someone is concerned about its colouring.. beyond bull

Something so important and significant as that occasion in your life...not good and discredits the book as you start to question, what else is stated as fact, but with such inaccuracy.

He's having a laugh. Book should be filed under "fiction"

yeah - he's not well.. I dunno.. tis a glass box he shud be in.. and studied.. v v bizarre

The most interesting aspect for me is that it has exposed the relationship between the monarchy and the right wing conservative press. The former is pretty much depending on the latter for its existence and prominence in UK public life. Someone breaking ranks from within the RF and drawing close attention to it was always going to be met with rage by the tabloids. Note how they always skirt around his specific criticisms of the press when they attack him.

I think you’re grossly overstating the RFs influence and impact on Britain’s daily workings.

Vast vast majority British people are just getting on with their lives as normal. The RF are really just their own symbol of tradition.

The modern RF are just a working family serving Britain. Nothing more than an employee/employer type family really, that generates interest and money for Britain.

They have no power whatsoever. It’s all just symbolism. Britain are just another democracy that lives by their people deciding how they live.

There are many many people in Britain who would vote no to abolishing the monarchy. You’re posting as if a scale back/abolition is what is needed. Needed for what, exactly?

I see it, today as a benign and harmless family that are just a symbol for Britain. And if British people are happy to see them continue to work and exist, best luck to them.
