They really need a reaction I suppose from the palace. It's always been like a reality series that is being scripted almost exclusively through PR maneuvers and other minions. Hollywood media and reality TV have slowly been merging into a business model that exhalts alternative reality over substance almost solely through subjective means. So it's no surprise they're trying to work off of that model, but it needs drama to actually thrive. They need the counter response so that they can continue to make it out it to be something it probably really isn't in the grand scheme (ie something they can manipulate and attach suddenly new details to with purported contexts...)... if they give any kind of response, they lose. The media will get their story by whatever means. If all that's left to milk is anti-H&M drama, then that's where it will all go... none of it is an honest business and the ones "blasting" the royals probably wouldn't have liked them to begin with and will believe anything negative, so I doubt it actually changes their ability to survive? (I feel like they should know this)

“ 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.

It’s something Black people themselves speculate when a white person is the spouse….

Excellent article:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/a...k-endorse.html

SARAH VINE: Where DO Harry and Meghan stand in relation to this puppet of theirs?
…..Either the Duke and Duchess denounce this effluent and its source, Scobie, or the general public on both sides of the Atlantic will have no choice but to conclude that, in the parlance of U.S. political campaigns (and make no mistake, this is political), they fully endorse Scobie's message.
Why they would associate themselves — even tacitly — with such a person is anyone's guess. Perhaps because, having attacked the Royal Family in a full- frontal assault via their interview with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix documentary and Harry's memoir, Spare, the world still appears somewhat sceptical of their one-sided account.
Maybe Scobie's book is one last throw of the Sussex dice, a desperate — and increasingly hysterical — attempt to reclaim the narrative in the War of the Windsors, which in recent months has made them seem increasingly surplus to requirements….etc..

Just doing what you do Jet. Piece together reports and as they seem to line up pretty well with KKKates behaviour towards Meghan then I can’t see it any other way.

Always knew the veil would fall. Tut tut.

Like you wouldn't be frothing if this was another book painting H&M as the villains

Great to see KKKate finally exposed!

we only have glimpses of what these people are like behind closed doors. The speculation generated from a statement already walked back by H&M is just such an almighty waste of time

It’s amazing to see them all scurrying around making excuses for the racists

If it is true that Kate wasn’t all over MeMeMeghan like the narcissist MeMeMeghan expected, it just shows she was way ahead of everyone else in sussing out what MeMeMeghan was like and distanced herself, much like the majority who now have her measure are doing.

I only knew this happened because you said something here. I'm a part-time royal watcher in a sense, but mostly just listening to things in passing while running through chores... I'd thought the Harry & Meghan saga had run its course once all the book deals and other opportunities had passed.

it has run it's course, it's just the media try and light a fire under it every month or 2 to see if they can get some traction

It must be penetrating the thick skulls of Meghan and Harry at last that the world is fed up to the back teeth listening to their endless drivel and grievances and dubious ‘truth’s, so they now have their lackey mouthpiece Scobie doing their dirty work for them. Nothing to do with them, of course.

The book in a nutshell, according to the scathing reviews:
The Royals are all bad
Meghan and Harry are paragons of virtue who are never, ever wrong.
As per usual.
The End.
Tbf this Scobie guy is writing it from Harry & Meghan's POV, so of course they're going to view themselves as in the right in all of these situations.

Why would anyone ask what the baby's skin colour is going to be? Just looking at the parents 99.99% of the time should be the clue.

Because only a very tiny percentage of people would ask about hair colour or eye colour with any malice.

how do you know there was any malice in what was said? Both H & M explicitly said that the royals were not being racist

KKKate was wary of Meghan from day 1 because she saw someone naturally charismatic come into the fold that would show her up as the dull bumbling fool she is.

How do you know it was said with malice? it could have been said in a jokey way, pre MeMeMeghan Harry had a good relationship with his father and Kate? when Harry was asked about the comment point blank by Tom Bradby Harry denied they said it was racist and that it was the papers made that up....look it up for yourself

It wasn’t the speculation that’s the issue. It was the “concern” for the skin colour. There were concerns what colour he would be and therein lies your racism
