This is a situation that has happened here today, the lady in question is not a Royal per se so shouldn't be classed as such, BUT it has overshadowed the work Kate and William are doing which is a shame. I just found it interesting the spped in which Kensington Palace commented. Just an observation

H&M said it wasn't Prince Philip (or the Queen) that they were referring to.

There has been quite a bit of news coverage along the lines of:
'Royals don't accept awards, they give them'
'the timing within days of William and Kates visit is suspect'
'guests will pay millions to sit at H&M's table'.
'they have connections to the award givers' (nepotism)

What do you think about them accepting such an award? You didn't say.

I'm well aware that they said it wasn't Philip. You said the only racism you have heard is from Harry himself.....I was saying that Philip has some documented comments too.

I couldn't care less if they accept a plastic award or not in all honesty. They are no longer working Royals so ca give awards/ accept awards all they want. The media in this country feed the madness, if they didn't report it, it would have passed and none of us would have know or cared.

What they do has no bearing on this story really though, my point was I hoped it would not overshadow Kate and Williams USA trip which it obviously is doing at the moment but hopefully it will be resolved by the resignation and Kennsington Palaces statement of condemnation. This incident today, not M &H.

Philip was from a long past generation (like the elderly lady susan). A lot different from a young man like Harry's racism.

The press are always going to report on H&M antics as they sell, and H&M's PR push all they are doing to the hilt. So I do care, as do many, that the couple undermine the good work and reputations of the Royals, especially abroad, with their malicious agenda's. It's fine if you don't care, it's not compulsory after all.
I can't see that this elderly lady's words will affect William and Kate's trip, she's 83, from a different generation and not family. Now THAT incident is overblown madness...

Why have Williams team chosen to publically condemn it then? I agree, she's not family, as I stated above, but he and his team obviously feel strongly enough to put a statement out.

I'm not commenting any more on Harry and Meghan as they have nothing to do with this news article. I agree she is from another generation but don't agree that gives you a free pass. My dad is the same generation, if I thought he said something that could be taken offensively by someone, I would call him out on it......and he wants me to do that.

.

Imo, it's because they have to be particularly careful now how they react given H&M's accusations of structural racism in the Royal family instead of the previous 'never explain' or waiting until they have the full picture.
I doubt William even had a conversation with Lady Susan to hear her side.

Apart from this lady accusing the Royal family of ‘domestic violence’ against Meghan in 2021, this is a tweet from her earlier this year:

Sistah Space

Harry and Meghan won’t be allowed on the balcony?
They’re in a completely different category to Andrew. He’s linked to sexual crimes.
Harry married and had children with a black woman. An all exclusively white balcony.
The only black people banned. RACISM.

Why did this lady go to the Palace function if she believed the Royals were domestic abusers and racists? Did she make a meal out of an elderly lady questioning her in just a clumsy manner? I have my suspicions.

the bile thrown at a 83 year old woman tells you all you need know about this cowardly attack

she is old and white so fair game

its racism and ageism, but not fashionably so

disgusting
