Especially as H&M have (i think?) said they didn't actually regard the comment/question as racist. Nor did most other people. While it's not the best thing to have attributed to oneself, it's not the most damaging.

Meghan made the claim but never heard the comment because it was allegedly said to Harry. Harry denied it to Tom Bradbury saying the royal family isn't racist and blamed the British press. Omid Scobie then names the royals.... and he did, I mean, if the names were never in the manuscript, how could it be mistranslated?

Omid Scobie is fukt.

I read somewhere that the names were originally in the transcript and he had them removed but they somehow (deliberately) didnt get removed from the Dutch edition
Whilst Meghan was never part of these 'racist' conversations she put the accusations out there...Harry kept quiet until his interview with Tom Bradbury where he denied it was a racist comment...This Scobie bloke has deliberately spill names to get the book promoted and Harry and Meghan have got their revenge on Charles and Kate...because if it wasn't for them the names wouldn't be out there.

everyone knows it was an intentional dirty trick. If the names were never there, they wouldn't be in the book. The excuse is laughably bad

Depends on the context and the tone of voice ..


I don’t recall all the details but I thought it was asked before he was born ..

So maybe something like that..

“ what colour is this baby gonna be ? “

To me that would be hurtful and racist .


The suggestion with that example is that it’s a negative to be non white and that would be horrendous and extremely hurtful to the recipient.

Is it really any different to speculating if the baby will have red hair or brown eyes or whatever, it really isn't

Well nobody cares if you have blue eyes or brown hair ..

Sadly loads of people (far , far too many) do have issues with skin colour ..


I can definitely see Charley boy asking that question with a negative tone in his voice .

Imagine his horror of having a non white child in his royal photos ..

It has come from Harrys own mouth that the family are not racist, if that is not good enough for you not sure what is

Well well well. KKKate aye? The reports of her being a generally awful person to Meghan don’t seem that far fetched anymore.

Meghan is white-passing to the point you wouldn't know she was meant to be anything else if she didn't talk about it. There's no way anyone was "worrying" about the royal photos being "ruined" by her genetic contribution.

The photo reference wasn’t a serious point … you get the idea though

Really ?

I thought it was accepted that she looks mixed race ?

It’s a beautiful look as well , many of the most stunningly beautiful women around are mixed .



I haven’t got a clue about her parents or family genetics
