Who is blaming her? But did anyone expect anything different from an outdated racist, sexist, classist family? A family that has exploited and looked down on generations of black and brown people. Philip is openly racist. Did she expect a bunch of racists to openly embrace her?
...Of all things, why are people blaming her.
This the shit that happens in mixed relationships. My wife's family was waaaayyyy to fixated on if my Daughter would look like me or her. You could feel their happiness when she came out looking like her mom complexion wise. It's why in part I'm going to train her to be obnoxiously Latina when around them.
...id like updates on this...
Or maybe Harry promised to bounce if things got bad like they predictably did.
It shouldn't have got to the point where she was considering suicide. That's pretty bad. Harry should have bounced immediately. The moment one of his trash relatives wore that brooch or when they all laughed at the music choices at his wedding. He more than anyone knows his family. Should have bounced ASAP.
I get the sentiment but it’s not easy to cut your entire family out of your life. That is an extremely difficult situation no matter who you are.
Folks, if only she had done her research she never would have fallen in love with Harry.
I know man, I'm technically mixed as my father is melting pot but predominantly Caribbean blood runs through me - I have uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews of dual heritage, mixed in all kinds of ways.
You aren't able to maintain the privileges they do without political power.
This is what i don't get.
Because the peopel in power dont want to lose that power.
Essentially yea, add on my mother is Afro-latina and my daughter all about her Abuela. I'll be doing a long study as she grows older. Planted seeds already by having my wife's sister be her "Tia" rather than aunt and effectively forcing her to be referred to that way. Good times ahead.
Basically when they say the Royals it's all about the monarch, the whole thing revolves around the monarch, who is the only one who has any real say in the the family. And the Queen doesn't really say anything about it because she distances herself from all of this. It's why people go Royalty is shit but Queen is nice.
When I was with my ex, his family was abhorrently racist and anti semitic to me (I have a Black Jewish Dad and White Jewish Mother). I brought it up, incredibly hurt. His response?
To be fair I think the original point is that the Royals are a know quantity and it's an institution that was built on colonialism and is fiercely traditional so to expect them to be progressive and inclusive is naive.
Oh but they do in fact do something normal celebrities don't, they get paid by the taxpayers to be famous for the family they were born into........I will never not laugh at the idiotic take that benefits are bad and those who rightfully need them are bad people for having the help they need but the same awful people claiming that are all for paying the royal family vast amounts of tax payer money and that's fine. This family is the ultimate benefit cheats, the actual real benefit cheats that the government have spent years claiming is a widespread issue but isn't in the general population. This family has no need for the vast money we give them, they aren't without means, yet somehow it's normal folks and the sick and disabled who are subject to yearly means testing, medical testing, court cases to fight for their benefits to continue because the tory government has decided a physiotherapist knows more about mental health disabilities than your actual expert doctors who treat you every day. Fucking ridiculous that we still allow this family to be a thing.
Damn, Oprah with the full Black mom energy in this clip. "Give me names, child" energy.
Recent investigations on how queen's consent has been used by the royals show that this isn't true. Monarchies shouldn't exist.
Sorry you had to take that. My first experience of this was dating a girl from Singapore as a teen, she took me to her place which was owned by her parents that lived abroad and said I could stay there for as long as I needed as I was thinking on leaving my shitty job at the time, obviously elated by this but then she told me I couldn't be there when her parents were around because they don't like black people "obviously". Just liking someone comes with these penalties.
Please while this isn't a direct link don't elevate this rag.
Damn they gonna kill Harry
Trash.
Or maybe she's actually into her husband?? Lots of people can separate their spouse from their family. Not sure why she's being held to a higher standard just cause his family is royalty
My toxic family made by then girlfriend’s life a living hell. It took me some time to cut them off. She wasn’t suicidal but it subjected her to more harm than she should have.
Right? The pause and then the look. I swear she was going to roll up some sleeves.Damn, Oprah with the full Black mom energy in this clip. "Give me names, child" energy.
Reminds me of when my mom, would wanna whoop another child's ass on my behalf
The difference being that in her case she had to then live with her husband's shitty parents and shitty family, confirm to their rules on how to sit and eat and talk to people, pretend to act normal while enduring microaggressions and racism everyday, deal with a racist tabloid press obsessed with that family - all this leading to her mental health being affected so badly she was considering taking her own life. Even her passport was taken away. What was done to her was exactly what was done to Diana. With the added racism.
Well no I don't think they literally murdered Princess Diana but they contributed to the circumstances that led to her death.
The UK media using this to just casually admit they contributed to Diana's murder like it's fine sure is a flex I wasn't expecting.
So then you agree with the Queen that brexit was a good idea? :p
Shits so fucked up. I'm so sorry that happened to you, being in a vulnerable circumstance and hearing THAT just sounds soul crushing.
This is a lie that’s perpetrated to keep the people from getting rid of them.

I'm not sure support will even noticeably dip when Charles is king. Before that happens there will be a huge sequence of events kicked off by the Queen's death, which will include a big funeral, a mourning period, wall-to-wall-to-wall-to-wall-to-ceiling-to-floor media coverage that redefines the concept of media "saturation", then eventually a coronation (months later - it's not out of the question that it might be more than a year afterwards). That'll come with its own coverage and an approximately infinite amount of themed paraphernalia, plus there will be the usual state trappings as the UK's anthem changes to God Save The King, Charles' face starts appearing on newly minted currency, and all the UK's ERs become CRs or GRs or whatever. The media narrative will probably be along the lines of Charles, the man born to be king, finally fulfilling his destiny.
There might not even be a Charles III. Charles has grown up fully immersed in this kind of thing. He is certainly aware of the associations and also aware that he can choose a different regnal name to avoid those associations.
Yeah, dreading her passing.
Yeah, I'm not sure what people are expecting to come out of this.
These two sentences are fucking hilarious, especially considering the Royal Family's history of protecting their own at all costs. Unless it's Diana. Or Meghan. You know, people who don't conform to the antiquated institutions rooted in colonialism the family is so desperate to uphold.
So you see no difference between coming on TV on your own terms and being hounded by paparazzi?
