Nope Jet. You can copy and paste all the Kate and Wills diary entries you want.

The conversation was about Oprah's billions, which was then compared to the Royal family's.

If you think Kate and William cutting lots of ribbons and shaking lots of hands changes what the monarchy is built on, what it represents and how it got its fortune then I'm afraid you're out of your mind.

...you don’t have to ‘sell’ the Royal family to me...nothing of what you’ve posted alters that if ‘huge wealth’ is being held up in some way to a type of standard then all huge wealth has that same standard...that’s just consistency and fairness...

A conversation with 'concerns over Archie's skin colour' is what both Harry & Meghan said happened .

The main reasons for them stepping back was because of how the firm / institution itself did nothing to help or protect them. The motto was they shouldn't show weakness ,and were meant to grin and bear it .

...hmmmm, but it was Oprah’s wealth being questioned and Oprah ‘giving back’ which she does...and it was somehow being attached to Meghan/Harry as well at being at some type of fault when they didn’t take a fee for the interview ...but the Royal family wealth though, never being questioned in any similar way ...when it was mentioned as a comparison, then an ‘anti royal’ comment was made and none of the (valid) discussion equated to ‘anti royal’ in any way...

Visiting a costume department = giving back and working hard

You do realise the Royals accrue their wealth on account of being BORN?

You have processed that fact haven't you?

...it most definitely feels that ‘different standards’ only apply if it’s not referencing Meghan and Harry and Meghan in particular...any reference to them though and there’s an automatic default setting to ‘double standards’....it really has no fairness and/or consistency...

And the mocking of Charles "cutting" them off, as though Charles' wealth wasn't handed down to him like it has done with every single one of them.

Sadly Ammi there's never any fairness , whatever Meghan and Harry do is criticised by high maximum.

And the royal family are seen as perfect .

They are easy to criticize when the spout a lot of BS.
But the strange thing is some just close their eyes and ears and make stupid excuses:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...rt-claims.html

………..Author and Sunday Times Royal Correspondent Roya Nikkhah moves the conversation on discuss a claim made by Prince Harry during the bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview.
Making reference to the Duke of Sussex's comment regarding how difficult it was for the couple to access mental health support, Nikkhah says: 'Harry is the most literate and clued-up person on mental health that I have ever met, going back many years.'
'He has every single organisation plugged into [mental health] at his fingertips. He talks to them all the time.
'He knows about mental health. Which is why I was so struck and confused by those comments he made in the interview that he didn't know where to turn.'


Nikkhah then discusses Prince William's reaction to Harry's comment about the future king and Prince Charles both feeling 'trapped' in the Royal Family.
'[William] doesn't feel trapped. That comment from Harry really didn't go down well,' she explains.

Thats what it insinuates in a ridiculing fashion....
So you like to not only call them out for what they are but you like to ridicule aswell...

Nice...

I mean shes saying what was obvious to all of us. Harry, William and Kate publicised their campaign on Mental Health and how they supported companies and Charities long before Meghan was on the scene. Which is why its absurd that she had no where to turn and Harry saying he was ashamed...none of it makes sense. Its all a load of BS...

Except Oprah was the REASON conversation turned to the Royals, where the same attitude is not held. It clearly hit a nerve as you brought out your trusty Daily Mail links and that ABOMINATION of a list of engagements.

Kate attending Wimbledon has absolutely NOTHING to do with a discussion that raises the question of how the monarchy amassed its vast wealth. That really long post is just embarrassing given the context.
