Right. And it wasn't his birthright, at least not yet, so she really didn't understand the structure of the family she married into.

I think it’s you who really doesn’t understand, actually. But hey, don’t let that stop you from criticizing the black lady.

I'm a new poster, but I agree with the PP. American's think that any relation of the royal family gets a title, but it's not necessarily true, and not, as simple as you would expect. Archie is the son of a second born son of the first born son of the queen. That does not make him a prince. Just because Megahn wants her life to read like a storybook doesn't actually make it so. There are books about peerage and titles, she should read them.

Meghan's race has nothing to do with it, she is just ignorant of the title protocol.

+1 I feel like there is one poster making every single issue about race and it is tiresome. And inaccurate.

Someone on the BBC said it right, I think: “Some people simply don’t understand that this is all about the direct line of succession and really all about the Queen. Some of the lesser royals don’t seem to understand that if they have a problem with it, the household does not care, because the entire system revolves around the Sovereign.”

That's a weird reaction to someone saying that she was suicidal.

If you were indifferent to her before the interview, what specifically changed your mind? Just curious.

We all wonder if they will take after Mom or Dad. It is not offensive, no one thinks that! No more than wondering whose eye color they will have. I can’t help but wonder if some poor schleb over there made an innocent comment and will now have the racist thing hanging over their head.

This. Discussing whether the baby’s hair, eyes, skin will look more like mom’s or dad’s is not a verboten subject in most interracial families. My husband and I certainly speculated about it.

Did anyone in your family warn you not to “darken your family”? That was an innocent comment told to my relative who married a WOC.

NP, but for me it’s her naivety (or supposed naivety).

Just one example: “I didn’t research the royal family before marrying Harry because I thought I knew celebrity.”

What? They aren’t like Hollywood: UK Edition.

That tells me she’s either totally dense, totally naive, or thinks we’re dense/naive enough to believe she actually thinks that.

I'm convinced Kate and William are going to have a 4th child after this interview to push him down to #7

But the real question is will they teach their fourth baby to be as racist as they are? Only time will tell...

They can't. Royal babies cost too much money. There were already questions when they had a 3rd. Take a look at all the other royals - the Queen's children only have 2 a piece and the Queen's grandchildren only have 2 a piece (except Kate).

You think that's a coincidence? Some magical combination of infertility and only liking two kids that affected 12 different couples?

According to other posters Kate should get a job to pay for their security and stop being an entitled bitch.

Kate is a working member of the BRF. Meghan is not. See the difference?

Good point. If you work for the family you get some perks and lose some independence like doing work on the side for significant $$. Meghan and Harry lose the perks and get the independence (and ability to earn their own perks). Not sure how this is complicated.

+1 This didn't have to be inimical, strange that it's become so.

They told Harry for her to get a job before the chose to step back, while she was pregnant.
Also, if something tragic happened to William and his dad, does Harry get skipped all together?

Yes, this is it. And Harry didn't seem to care much about it, in fact seemed to enjoy his relative freedom, until he marries an American and she really does care.

My thoughts exactly!

Since the reign of Elizabeth's father, it would make him a prince once Charles becomes king.

The line of succession goes through the first born’s family and children before it touches the second born.

So it goes:

Charles (as Elizabeth’s first child)
William (as Charles’ first child)
George (William’s first child)
Charlotte (William’s second child)
Louis (William’s third child)

Then and only then do we get to Harry, Archie, and Harry’s unborn daughter.

Of course, should William and Kate have any other children, they would be higher up in the line of succession than Harry.

I think that the interview is very American-centric and presents the situation through the lens of American standards of behavior, culture, and progress, if you will.

Yes. George is next in line after William. If he's not of age, historically there's been a regent. And I believe that would be Harry in this case. But once George is of age, Harry would be out again.

100%.

And many Americans don’t seem interested in understanding how royal protocol works.

It’s sort of the height of arrogance to think you can waltz into an institution that is hundreds of years old and expect it will just bend to your will and sensibilities.
