Ann saying Meghan Markle is "trouble" because of her "background and attitude"...
 

:umm2:

It's because she's black, silly!

She was quite dismissive, but I didn't think she was being racist.

She's a REAL woman!

Racist old ****.

Meghan bringing some colour to the party!

Also, the way the genes fall with each generation of incest, Meghan is some much needed outsider blood to prevent the next group of kids being born with three legs.

What reason did she give ?!! , Sounds very strange and if she's going to make a comment like that she might as well give a reason why :conf: .

Is she against American blood getting in the Royal family, seems weird without her giving an explanation :suspect: . How can she know Megan will be "trouble" ?.

What is Meghan's background? (apart from her race I mean, Ann obviously didn't mean that)

A successful actor, with a degree in theatre and international studies, as well as a humanitarian worker who has worked on behalf of various charities raising awareness and funds to those less fortunate around the world.

Ann is old school...the last time a member of the Royal family fell for an American divorcee he abdicated.
Megan seems lovely...it's quite refreshing and her acceptance into the Royal family is a sign that the Royals are moving forward.

I don't think any offence was meant...it's a generation thing.

Why didn't she specify what she meant though :rolleyes: . She can't just make a sweeping statement as "Megan will be trouble" and not give a reason why :conf: . So I believe it's a Xenophobic thing as Megan is American , but the Royal family isn't 100% British but whatever .

Love how once again Rachel asked her a question knowing she'd get a controversial answer :clap1:

Off with her head!

I agree with Ann ,I fear it will all end in tears, she's too pushy ( over talking Harry in engagement interview all the time) I just can't warm to her either,she's certainly no Princess Kate

It's nothing to do with her race. It's probably because she's American. Look what happened the last time a royal fell for an American? That's her line if thinking, I feel.

Don't put things out there without you have proof that what Ann meant, I dont like her either,but nothing to do with her colour or nationality or her being divorced, Theres just something not right with her

Megan has history with other men, if one of them publishes pictures or stories it could get very embarrassing. Its not the Megan is unsuitable, just that as she is not a virgin princess, there are potential issues

Ann has seen enough bad eggs in her lifetime to spot them a mile off.

Tbh I wrote this comment before I watched the HL show :laugh2: , and I was going by what other people said on here .

But I think it might be to do with the fact Meghan has been married before, but I don't know I still wondered if there was another reason. And no not a racist one .

Even if that had something to do with it there are many other ways that traditionally she would have been considered unsuitable to marry a royal ie divorced, non-virgin, older, not upper-class etc so to jump straight to the colour of her skin is blinkered.

Ann is maybe the same as me,its just a gut feeling that its just not genuine and Harry ( lovely lad) is going to get hurt ,I can see it ending in tears, IMO Meghan will use her role to bring attention to all her causes,this is not what being a member of the Royal family is about ,its about supporting the Queen and being an ambassador for the Uk

drag her Ann

What happened?

The only thing I recall is the King abdicating because the woman had already been married. A completely different set of circumstances.

Well Ann said background. That's nothing to do with not liking that she's talkative in interviews but specifically about where and what she's come from. Not saying Ann is racist but she's being judgemental about something like her nationality, her profession or whatever.

I know it's a different case, but she was also unsuitable. Of course these days things have changed, so the royal family is more accepting.

Yeah, there are no virgin princesses anymore. That's not a Meghan specific "problem".

The Royal family are hardly in a position to keep up the pretence of that tradition. Dirty adulterous and incestuous bastards, the lot of them.

Rachel is very good at that and Lady Colin said on CBBOTS she is a Johnson say no more.

Which is why I don't know why Ann has a problem with Meghan, loads of people have been previously married .

Or is she against the PDA Harry & Meghan show . But whatever Ann has her views :rolleyes: .

Erm... Meghan has been forced to step down from all of those roles in order to take on the Royal duties.

No she was only unsuitable because the King wasn't permitted to marry a divorced woman back then. It's a completely different scenario.

If Charles can marry his mistress I don't see the issue.

I agree. I have no issue with Megan, but I think Ann is very old fashioned when it comes to marriage.

She said she sees trouble as in Megans families past ,she wasn't mean or racist in any way .

Exactly and he's actually next in line to the throne, in reality Harry is never going to be king

How has she been forced? she chose to be with Harry and all that entails,she always had that choice.

It's more to do with the family I think, isn't she estranged from her half sister after they fell out over something ?:shrug:

There are loads of opportunity for tabloid gossip, its bound to happen, so Ann is quite correct. As a monarchist she sees the potential trouble there could be. The monarchy is just not important to me, so I couldn't care less, and that's probably the modern view.

That's Ann's opinion... and it's a minority opinion.

Obviously. But she is not permitted to continue with those roles so to make out she's using her Royal status to benefit her own endeavours is absolutely nonsense as she has had to sacrifice her own endeavours for her in-laws. That's the point.

Sounds like all of the people ostracized from the Royals including Harry's own mother.

I doubt they'd be do hypocritical. Would they? :think:
