I remember, as a young man, "studying" the Penthouse (or was it Playboy?) pics of VW doing it with another woman. I can still picture it in my head. it was HOT. |

Love that the statement is basically "Harry and his wife are choosing to remain in the family (lower case) and be independent and the Royal Family bank will be closing"
Note that she personalized them with their NAMES and not their titles. She lower cased the "f" in family and upper cased it in stating they are leaving the Royal Family. The shade the English use is amazing. Sorry Megs. You chose the wrong suitcase. |
| Will should have an active interest in setting precedent for siblings of future monarchs. He has two children (so far) who will benefit from an organized and fair plan. He has seen the negatives of the past no plan through his uncle and his children. |
let’s say that this is true but Harry is not interested in millions of average women. the pool of women who interest him is very small and as they all age very few of them remain available. he would be able to find a young good looking rando till the end of his life but that is not what interests him. |
And? That fact doesn’t remove the double standard that exists for AAs in the spotlight. See: Michelle Obama. Or better yet, how about her husband who is also bi-racial, never referred to as white, and whose citizenship was challenged? Michelle was raked over the coals for showing arms in the Oval Office; Melania is spread eagle with a gun and everyone talks about her class. Or how about Oprah? All of her wealth, humanitarian act, stature, and yet, money couldn’t buy fair treatment from Swiss (white) retailers overseas. All fairly recent. It’s not 1933, but we still have a ways to go in 2020. I think MM got a shock. She was exposed to the covert racism that many AAs have learned to just, deal with. The articles about MM continue because there is a reader base that identifies with it. It’s wrong. I absolutely that comes in to play. You can’t be white Kate Middleton and then your back on it, and hope it goes away. It doesn’t. It has been following AAs since our ancestors were trafficked. Megan is no exception. I did not know the press called her child a monkey. A child! Disgusting. Yet, I have never heard anyone refer to him as white, despite his upbringing and education. The notion that wealth/status, and in MM’s case, royalty, removes racism for AAs is just flat out wrong. To deny it is either |
Well, he married a rando, didn't he? |
| ..racist, clueless, or both. |
I noticed she did not use their titles. |
I’ll say! |
Lol, x a million. Speak for yourself. |
The plan has been that they work for the crown. The Queen's sister has worked and done the royal duties but none of the other grandchildren do. |
To be fair, if we believe that a good fit for William and Harry is someone who actually understands the obligation/duty of the role, understands the scars left by his parents' divorce and his mother's death, is unfazed by family dysfunction playing out in the vicious press, and brings so much cash to the marriage that she couldn't be seen as a gold-digger, who does that really leave? I mean, the Kennedy-Shriver-Schwarzenegger daughter is taken by Chris Pratt already, right? |
| Sad for Harry. He is giving it all up for a piece of trash. |
| She steps on and uses everyone. |
| I really hope they strip them of all titles. They don't deserve them. |
