Its not that they're the most relatable. Its that Americans are un(der)educated and the only language you need to understand to get the scandals of the BRF is English. The few-and-the-proud remaining other monarchies require Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian, French (Monégasque), Japanese, Arabic, Thai, or Twi. The British royals are simultaneously the most visible and the easiest understood - you can blame that on their colonization tactics. |
The current Thai king is a complete embarrassment to himself, his country and the memory of his late father. |
She is toxic. He is a victim. |
Yep. I know. You think most of the American public is aware of that...or even where Thailand is frankly? |
What a brilliantly incisive, uniquely insightful, well supported, detailed comment!!!!!! |
Hahahaha. +1 These people are way too invested and projecting their weird insecurities on this lady. |
Uh, you are posting here too. |
You guys are entertaining. You have moved on from tearing down Britney Spears. Now it’s Meghan Markle. Gossip is the new blood sport. |
+100 Very true. I think the Spanish royal family should get more coverage. The women are so much more fashionable. And the current king looks way better than any of QEII’s kids. |
You are conflating two different things. Meghan believing she can topple the royal family and actual societal changes endangering their long-term viability. Progressivism is definitely having a moment right now and there is nothing less progressive than one family of white Europeans having a ton of wealth because....???? You also have the fact that the royal family is not popular with younger Britons (under 24). And that at least one former colony elected to leave the commonwealth this year. Meghan did not do any of those things. Meghan’s biggest skill is seizing on larger movements and trends for her own purposes. The reason why her racism claims worked was because the BRF has done a lot to make that quite believable. They have no POC from Commonwealth countries in positions of prominence on their staff. Despite the fact that they clearly don’t only hire Britons (Jason Knauf for example is a random white guy from America). And of course there were all of Philip’s racist gaffes (“slitty eyes” ring a bell), Princess Michael’s blackface brooch and telling a group of African Americans to “go back to the colonies” (revealing herself to be both racist and uneducated). |
PP, here's one of your "few-and-the-proud" monarchies below. I'd rather the BRF than that thing. Emperor has no clothes! ![]() |
How about neither? |
