Or the new Fergie

I kind of think that's what they want. Not to end like it did for those ladies, but the truth is the royal family benefited from the public's love affair with the princesses, though the love for Diana was longer.

I think they wanted Kate to be that, but that's not who she is and that's okay.

They need someone glamorouse that folks will love,a nd a story that will get people to buy into the royals again. Meghan kind of fits that.


I also really think that Harry likes the attention of celebrity and at least for now Meghan does too

she's black and white. Which is why people are excited ignoring that she looks white and is for all purposes white identified. This is not Lupito N'yogo becoming a princess.

She looks like a tan white girl.

Minirities who pass for white have always had the easiest time assimilating.

I don't think she herself purposely passed for white at all. I believe her when she says she is proud of being biracial.

http://www.elleuk.com/life-and-culture/news/a26855/more-than-an-other/

Even her Suits character is presented as biracial with Wendell Pierce playing her father. Her other roles were so minor that ambiguity was less about "passing" than blink and you miss her.

It's not the character she plays that makes her white identified.
She keeps her hair straight reducing the chances she'll be instantly seen as biracial and/or part black.
She largely surrounds herself by white people.
She has not spoken out about black issues.
Considering she is biracial this makes sense.
People acting like this is a "win" for minorities or black people are wrong.

Yes. I know minorities like her. They are treated as, and think of themselves as "tan white girls." The historical issues people of color face do not apply to them because they do not look very different than white people. They wear their hair straight, only hangout with white people, dress like whites people, make white people cultural references.

When you ask them about race they say race isn't really a thing.

You guys do know that many biracial people have naturally straight hair right? As an actress, I'm sure she straightens her hair to get roles. Remember, white people are scared of AA/biracial natural hair. How do you guys know who she surrounds herself with? She states Serena Williams is one her closest friends. Serena maybe be having a baby with a white dude, but she stands for blackness all day long.

Also to prove you're black you have to speak out about black issues?

Do you guys speak out about "white" issues?

What else must one do to pass the black test?

Aw are your feelings hurt that somebody spoke the truth about your idol? FYI Serena is white identified too.

You know cause I got some free time, I'm going to play with you. In what world is Serena Williams "white identified"?

Is it her big butt?

Her CRIPT walking when winning Wimbledon?

Her donating over 3 million dollars to AA inner city tennis clubs?

Opening a school in Africa?

Is it because she wears weave?

Is it being a Jevoha's Witness?

Is it because she's worth over $150 million dollars?

I mean what is it?

In fact, please define what makes one "white identified"?

she has chosen to procreate with a white man, her daughter will l grow up predominately surrounded by white people/white culture and like her mother view blackness as a charitable cause. She likely like Meghan have a whit husband and so on any children from their and all of Serena's legacy and funds will mostly benefit white people. Live vicariously through Serena and Meghan all you want but don't for a second think they are doing anything to change anything for black people.

Hopefully, they fair better.

Interesting observation. I don't get that because Harry and Meghan don't seem tumultuous or volatile at all, just really happy and confident together. I don't think they have been angry the few times that the press has photographed them together. They seem grounded. JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette were caught fighting in Central Park, had other public tiffs and were known to have broken up more than once before they wed. He even purportedly spent the night before they died in a hotel after a spat - also from a Vanity Fair piece I think - before taking of to fly to Hyannis for Rory Kennedy's wedding.

I feel the same whirlwind vibe about it, not mature love, but more passion the lure of something new and exciting Bloomds fast and fades faster. There is also Jr and Harry are a lot a like in personality. Imoulsivity drawn to a woman that will direct them a bit like an older sibling or mother figure.

Meghan is like Carolyn in that I get a strong manipulative vibe ffrom her in that she is like Diana, but not unkind.

Holy crap. That is a ton to unpack here. I don't have your lived experience but am a POC married to a white man and I don't think my life or my children's are devoid of my culture or erased from our identities. I think that interracial marriages and biracial children have their own paths however they identify. I simply disagree that anyone can define someone else as "white defined" if you don't live that person's same experience.

Did you see pictures from Serena Williams' baby or bridal shower? No one can predict how the child will identify, but it's highly doubtful she will grow up surrounded by white people.

If it were going anywhere she would not have talked.


she'll be gone by Christmas

I'm certain this was approved by the palace. Otherwise she would be dumped already

Looking more and more like they are leading up to an engagement announcement, as all the insiders are saying

This was definitely approved by the palace. In fact, it may have been pushed/encouraged by the palace.

Meghan isn't promoting anything in this interview- her show, any side business, not even any philanthropy. There's not even much meat to the interview section of the article, other than the quotes about Harry. This seems to be a preapproved first stage in the media rollout of their engagement.

[Anonymous]

This is BS!

Where's Harry's article claiming her. Talking about how much he loves her.

Pathetic!

Yeah, I changed my mind. I don't have anymore time for you. I don't know much about Meghan, so I won't speak on her. But I know a lot about Serena. I have met her a couple of times due to work and it's clear that you are just a trolling for a fight. I won't derail this thread talking about Serena. She doesn't need me defending her (although I will), her connection to her blackness has been quite documented.

I wish Meghan and HArry good fortune.

[Anonymous]

I think she's cute. She looks much younger than 36. She plays a woman in her 20s on Suits. She's an actress. Will she give up her career for Harry? Somehow, I doubt it. Most actresses are washed up by 40 anyway, so she doesn't have too many more years. Maybe she'll get a big movie after this. Good for her! And good for Harry! I think they are a cute couple.

That said she isn't a black women, So BLack women like your self should not be trying to claim this as a victory for black women/black people.

You're right, it's not the same as a VF article. It hold much more weight than a VF article because it's on freaking Kensington Palace letterhead.
