Meghan and Harry

William wasn’t allowed in a combat zone being 2nd in line to the throne.
exactly, which is why it was nothing but PR to train him as a commanding officer in all three main branches of the armed forces (I'm surprised he didn't get 1 year in joint forces, just to seal the deal), knowing that he would never use his 6 or 7 years of training for anything.
 
I’d be surprised if one of the younger members of the firm were racist towards her. I can imagine either of Jug ears feckwit brothers or even his mrs but I’d be surprised if anyone of the younger generation brought skin colour into it. Sometimes women just don’t like women you know.
maybe, younger people tend to be more tolerant because we have grown up with more exposure to people of other ethnic groups. However royal life is steeped in their world of the elite, lords, viscounts, dames, and the old money. They school with these people, they go to uni with these people, and they are 99% white. The exposure you and I have to other ethnicities in our day to day life is probably a little different to William and Kates, probably.
 
Can't believe this thread is still going. Jesus, we've just lost 120,000 of our fellow citizens to a modern-day Spanish Flu pandemic, been locked indoors for a year while the government drained the public purse directly into the pockets of its mates, having severed the relationship with our closest trade friends - and the best we can do is take sides in a royal spat?

Pathetic. No reflection on any particular contributor to this thread, but come on!
 
but nut as rich as Oprah apparently
Under the current environment of being objective and unbiased can anyone say for real that they thought the interview held by a Hollywood flag bearer (Oprah) will give us a believable outcome? You can see what this is all about and that is money — lawsuit time — I’m sure the Hollywooders wil back her all the way but whether or not Harry will stand the test of time with Megan’s uncompromising character is anyone’s guess— what Megan wants Megan gets.

imagine if we didn't spunk 350mill plus on these lot every year (in taking our tax money and avoiding paying taxes, and taking revenue out of government resources, and security etc), you could create two new hospitals a year for the cost of the royal family, or operate 2,500 extra beds. So yeah, it's kinda important, if that doesn't bother you then don't virtue signal about the importance of this.

why exactly will this end in a lawsuit? Whose suing who?
 
The royal family (of whom I am no fan) have little connection to the outbreak. The government ****ed up the handling of it, displaying astonishing arrogance. Yes I'd have loved there to have been a Labour government in charge during Covid. There wasn't. The people chose more misery.

I'd also rather you didn't accuse me of virtue signalling but there we are. Either way, this media scrum/royal spat is a minor distraction everyone seems to have fallen for. Maybe it isn't minor and it'll spark the downfall of the Windsors but I somehow doubt it. So I'm out, got better things to do.

The Institution is much stronger than this little distraction, they happen periodically over the years but life goes on.
 
Indeed. Cromwell couldn’t get rid of the Royal Family, neither could Hitler. I don’t think Haz and Meg are going to succeed where they failed.
Nope they won’t . They will be around forever. Can’t we at least just get shot of about 80 percent of them and say if you’ve got next to no chance of getting the top job it’s off to graft matey ?

well technically Cromwell got rid of one of them, but sadly he was as corrupt as them. Hitler? Oh dear, they liked him. Besides our royalty have been deposed by foreign invaders before. Know your history I mean Harold was succeeded by William, a French King. I mean our royalty aren't even OUR royalty.
 
Just got a notification from my BBC news app telling me that the interview with Oprah is about to air. Ffs how is that news?? WTF !! How is that news? Absolutely furious. What has the BBC become. App deleted.

Yes, I found that odd too, especially as it's on a rival TV channel. Also received a breaking news update this morning from them which was nothing more than an advert for an article on their website about the interview.

The worlds gone mad pal. I wonder where people go for real news??. I was a staunch BBC man for news. The whole world seems to cater for those with an IQ of less than 80!

Actually it is a reflection of some posters. There’s a handful ensuring this thread has now got to a ridiculous 12 pages of fruitless bickering.
