You are a bald faced liar!

OPRAH got $7 million for the interview, the Sussexes got NOTHING. They haven’t done any paid public appearances since the ONE appearance in Florida before the pandemic.

You ugly, ugly women are so full of hate. I pity your husbands and children, truly.

It is. Every person, no matter who you are, is subject to praise or criticism, neutrality or obsession.
This is a human experience.

YES, racism against blacks and others is prevalent.
YES, it should be examined and stopped.

But all people can be looked at, judged (hopefully, fairly), and debated.

This.
In this thread, we need to quit racism accusations. I get that some british media is so painfully and obviously racist. I understand they interacted with individuals who are ignorant to racist.

No one here criticising her is doing it because of her race.

I strongly disagree. We don’t talk about racism nearly enough. Sorry not sorry if it makes you uncomfortable or is distracting from whatever point you think you’re making.

Since they wouldn't post the receipts, we can't know the context. But having racism be part of the sympathy tour was essential, so it had to be in there even if it was not very specific. Hard to see the Queen or even Charles making such comments, more likely nasty courtiers is my guess.

Exactly . It could have been perfectly innocent comment. We won't know without context. I say this as a black woman with mixed kids what they would look like was definitely part of the conversation . If they wanted to someone could have called my in laws racist but the context of the conversation wasn't racist and they are not racist.


And those rushing to shame the BRF for racism should remember that Harry has shown racism on multiple occasions , has used it bro garner attention for himself and has not properly addressed his previous acts of racism.

I think you have talked about it; we've heard. And we've determined it is a factor in why they left. But it is not a factor in dislike from most of the public.
It IS a factor among the dislike among nutty Meghan haters, I mean the truly nutty ones.

Omg. Give me a Dubonnet cocktail and afternoon tea. A long hike in the Scottish countryside. I would do just fine in a life of seclusion. They can say whatever they want about me. I’d go on living my best life in private. Kate can win. I’ll play bad cop.

Do you not realize that this is how Harry has spent the last 35+ years of his life? He went into the military because (1.) that was the only career allowed of him and (2.) he had drive and ambition. Do you not believe he chaffed at the monotony that you idealize?

To a person of ambition, whiling away at soggy castles and counting down the hours until your next meal is slow torture. My guess is that he married Meghan BECAUSE he didn't want to live that kind of life and wanted a wife who would support him in having a career.

You approaching this as a harried parent. Of course sending your kids off with nannies and having staff meal prep and handle the cleaning sounds amazing. Me too!

What is Harry’s ambition? To be a podcaster?

No they signed a 100m deal with netflix to develop docu series, films, childrens series. They also got paid 7m for last nights interview and are getting 1m for appearances. Podcasts are probably a hobby.

I’m aware of their highly lucrative Netflix and Spotify deals. So you’re saying Harry’s ambition is to become a TV producer? I don’t think, prior to him meting Meghan, anyone would have suggested that about Harry.

.
I do think Meghan is seriously I'll. My armchair diagnosis is borderline personality disorder. Her behavior pre Harry and her current behavior supports this.

If I'm correct the least of the concerns should be if the BRF will survive and if they are racists. The biggest concern is the safety of Harry, Archie, and the baby to be and I'm not joking.. She needs help and fast .

BPD-yes, but co-morbidity is present. She definitely has 'histrionic personality disorder' as well.

Yes the longstanding pattern of cutting off friends and family members who displease her is a red flag for this. As is cutting off their SO from all ties. When someone has no friends from back in the day, and no relationship at all with family, they are the common denominator.

First off she has quite a few friends even dating back a while. Cutting off a deranged sister you barely know who bad mouths you and father who profits off your suffering and then moving away from racist in laws does not count when it comes to calling someone BPD. She is surviving and saving her life from a bunch of people who themselves have personality disorders. Suicide threats might be common with BPD, but being suicidal because an entire press core is after you and your inlaws feed you to the wolves is not a symptom of BPD. It's a reaction to a disturbed environment where you are not allowed to get help. Pathologizing a strong black woman who refuses to be demeaned is so alarming and racist.

I know it's silly but I've always been a big fan of hers. She seemed like a nice, normal person who just happened to be so pretty that she caught the eye of a prince. She also didn't seem that into the job, like she married him because she loves him not because she wants to be queen that badly.

This news that she didn't stand up for Meghan, that she didn't issue a correction of what really happened with Meghan at the dress fitting, that she is married to a racist who questions the skin color of his nephew, etc.

It's really disappointing. I feel like I can't be a fan anymore.

I noticed this. I now have a dislike for her because of it. She should have done more. Vocally

Kate is completely private. She never used her own voice to defend HERSELF for the decade she was tormented. She does not comment in the press. Never has and never will. And they have said a lot of sh*t about her brother's mental health, her sister, her mother and herself over the past decade and a half.

Only when paps got topless sunbathing photos of her did William speak out and attack the tabloids.

That's not true though. Her office commented on stories involving her from Botox to hair pieces to the Tatler article (the one where they said she was a stressed out CEO).

YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT! Utter and complete bollocks. America has a huge racism problem, plenty of it in the elite class, and it is utterly ridiculous for you to claim that not on of them posts at DCUM.

If you read the press and commentary from the "other side", they say this:

Kate didn't trust Meghan from the beginning. She thought it was all too fast and Meghan seemed too thirsty. And similar to the treatment that she herself received in her day, she took the position of "wait and see if this person earns my trust". She wasn't going to be fast friends with anyone unless she has observed Meghan over a period of time and judged her to be deserving of her trust.

It is not for nothing that you never read any comments from "friends of Kate" - because she vets her friends very carefully.

Plus, Kate sees her role as supportive of William above all else.

Meghan confused that with discrimination and racism.

And I'll say that Kate's judgment turned out to be not completely off base.

She seems like a very clinical person overall. (Kate)

She is a private person. She is reserved. She has a very warm, tight-knit family and photos of her genuine big smile and laugh abound.

I get it. I can't do social media. I won't even let friends post my photo. Keeping your life private and being wary and conservative when meeting new people is not clinical, it's pretty smart.

But, yes, she is definitely "Keep Calm and Carry On". The no-nonsense British "Stiff Upper lip" and anything can be cured with 'exercise and outdoors'.

Frankly, with all of the everyone providing TMI and reality TV, I find it quite refreshing.

Very hard and miserable to be an outsider joining the firm, especially with several negative checks (older, actress, divorced, American, new money...)predisposing them against accepting you into a rigid insular group. Plus the horror and racism of the press. Harry did a terrible job of preparing her, and he should have, knowing how awfully his SIL was treated for quite a long time. But given her dramatic temperament and the cold archaic institution, this was never going to work. Hope they put this behind them and enjoy their freedom.

New poster here. We need to talk about racism, but we can't blindly accept something as fact without proof. We can't go around accusing people of racism without proof.

We can't diminish the real crime and abuse of racism by saying someone is racist because they vsee that parts of Meghan's story doesn't add up.

No, I didn’t wonder if it was a joke. I did wonder if it was just someone from a good place genuinely wondering what the baby will look like? I totally wondered that about Archie myself! Im in a mixed marriage and we wondered that about our own beautiful baby! No big deal.

Agree. Big difference between “I wonder who he’ll look like, what color his eyes will be, his skin tone etc and Do you know what his skin tone will mean for the monarchy?

My DH is a minority. Their family talks about light and dark all the time, nothing about it ever racist though.

You don't understand that Kate is completely controlled by the firm? She has zero agency.

She could have done more for Meghan privately than she did (which is nothing except apologize for the dress incident). Oprah explicitly asked about their relationship, asking was it as happy and warm as it appeared in the press, and Meghan said no, nothing was as it appeared.

Nutty meghan haters - all racist
Some criticisers - some could be racist, some not
meghan supporters - some could be racist, some not
British press - heavily racist

You don't think it's possible to criticise any person of color? At all? Ever?

[Anonymous]

Just because people don’t believe Meghan, doesn’t make them racist.

It's kind of like this, but substitute race for fashion.
