Charles pays 5 million to keep both sons households per annum, the sums above won’t last long, they really will need to do the chat show circuit if he pulls the plug

Agree.
If they want to be taken seriously they need to go for something worthwile

[Marsh.]

an estimated £34m ($44m) fortune from the duchess of sussex’s tv earnings

how dare she wear expensive clothes!!!!

[Marsh.]

"The royal family's pocket" doesn't even always translate to public spending either.

Outrage for outrage's sake.

I'd like to know how anyone knows who bought any piece of clothing worn by any of the Royals. In the words of Whitney Houston, I wanna see the receipts.

Piers Morgan was up her arse until he didnt get an invite to the wedding

Heres a bit on that from a Guardian columnist

The Mail’s columnist Piers Morgan maintained the completely sane and normal tone for which he has become known when it comes to Meghan: “Who the ****** do they think they are?” he began and escalated from there. “Nobody tells the Queen what to do,” he huffed, only to decree, sentences later: “Get rid of these whining, ego-crazed, deluded leeches, Ma’am.” Of course, Morgan’s column makes reference to the seismic, nay, legendary time he met Meghan for half a drink, an encounter that in Morgan’s mind has achieved mythic proportions, only to become symbolic to him when afterwards she, bafflingly, decided against continuing their friendship. “She’s an unsavoury, manipulative, social-climbing piece of work,” Morgan raged, displaying his usual capacity for self-awareness. Stats: Morgan has written precisely two columns on Prince Andrew’s friendship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He has written so many on Meghan – who, lest we forget, committed the worse-than-paedophilia crime of not inviting Morgan to her wedding – that my browser crashed.

Kate is perfect, has nothing to do with her husband being in line to throne and needing to act a certain way of course.

Why are we comparing Kate and Meghan, when they are two different people. I don't know why i asked this because it's obvious because they're both women. People sure love to compare women and pit them against each other.

Bigotry and racism

...Fergie and Diana were not abused in the same way because they weren’t subjected to racial abuse, so it wouldn’t have been possible for them to have been...racial abuse is entirely separate from scrutiny and other types of criticism, it’s very specific...it isn’t a ‘card’, it’s a fact of life for some...and it was something that Meghan was subjected to...I do though think that doesn’t mean, that all and any scrutiny and criticism was ‘because of her heritage’...so it’s separating those things...but racial abuse is an ‘add on/an extra’ that Meghan and Harry have had to endure, as well as the intense media scrutiny that Royals have and that others have similarly gone through...

I think the problem is that Harry is a total idiot, and never makes a good decision.

...I’m not sure what the ‘demand for proof’ when the palace statement that was issued in the early days of their relationship was specific about the racial undertones toward Meghan and some of her family ...that was before their engagement or marriage...there are many articles obviously...but this is quite an interesting one, which touches on the differences between reporting on her mum versus reporting on her dad...just a little bit from it...but the full article is there...




As a successful, mixed-race woman from California, Markle became the media’s new punchbag, and her family weren’t spared media intrusions either. The contrast in treatment towards each of her divorced parents, however, was glaring: dog-whistles for her black mother, and sympathy for her white father. In her time in the public eye, Markle’s mother Doria Ragland has been a picture of dignity, yet was still the constant victim of coded racism, in the form of inaccurate references to slavery and gang violence. Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, was gifted a little more empathy by the tabloids, often portrayed as a lovable rogue disowned by his “heartless” daughter, even though he repeatedly betrayed and embarrassed her on the international stage. All the while, this racist and sensationalist reporting stoked tensions on social media, and bigots and trolls felt vindicated in their racism.

Reflecting on the unfortunate series of events that have unfolded around Markle, there is much we can learn about the current state of racism in this country.
Critics have argued that Markle knew what she was signing up for, and should have been more prepared. But the onus should not be on people of colour to swallow racism – an assertion rooted in victim-blaming culture: where the minority on the receiving end of abuse is supposed to rise above everything in order to maintain decorum, while the abusers are free to spew whatever they wish. After seeing what they had to say, I can’t help but wonder if Markle, a former successful actor who was largely palatable to an overwhelmingly white media, can be harassed into stepping away from the crown, then how might the public react to someone with less privilege than her?

It seems that much of Britain desperately wants to be absolved its racist history without doing any work to combat racism – treating marginalisation and discrimination like imagined annoyances not worth confronting. But looking at the fate of a royal couple that was supposed to symbolise progression and a supposedly “post-racial” British society, it seems clear that there is still much work to be done.

...anyways, there isn’t really anywhere else to go with this, other than in circles...so there isn’t much more to say...’racist undertones’ as the palace so royally put it......is something separate from other scrutinies/judgements/criticisms etc that others have gone through...it’s obviously inaccurate to think or say that everyone who has disapproved/disliked Meghan is racist or bigoted...but it’s equally inaccurate to think or say that racism/bigotry has not been a factor at all...

Apart from the monkey picture in post one of this thread which finished Danny Baker... and the racist jewellery/Princess Michael of Kent story.... which is years old... what racist abuse has Meghan Markle encountered, I wonder. She's successful not because she's a particularly gifted actress but because she's great looking, she's privileged, she's been made a Duchess and she'll cling on to that even when Harry's history, she's married to a prince (right now).... what is it that upsetting her, exactly?

This reminds me of women who marry soldiers and policemen and then moan about their jobs.
