It's a f@cking palace. How much "classier" do you need it to be?

The Queen understands the effect the surroundings have on people. She's not particularly fancy, but as she has said about her State dinners -- "They come here to eat off of the gold plates, not for the food".

He looks white and that’s not surprising considering Meghan Markle’s ancestry make-up. According to Ancestry.com, the average African American is 65 percent sub-Saharan African, 29 percent European and 2 percent Native American.
* According to 23andme.com, the average African American is 75 percent sub-Saharan African, 22 percent European and only 0.6 percent Native American.
* According to Family Tree DNA.com, the average African American is 72.95 percent sub-Saharan African, 22.83 percent European and 1.7 percent Native American.
* According to National Geographic’s Genographic Project, the average African American is 80 percent sub-Saharan African, 19 percent European and 1 percent Native American.

So if Meghan’s mother has about 20% European DNA, Meghan probably has about 60% European DNA and then mixed with British aristocracy, it’s not surprising baby Archie is white. He’s handsome and their family is gorgeous. From what I can tell African American DNA is inextricably linked with European DNA, which means its easier in a few generations for someone to either become African American or White.... Examples: Meghan Markle or the Kardashians.

You must not know many AA or mixed people IRL. Babies are typically born with very light skin that darkens with time. He will get darker. I'm sure he will be adorable, but he will look mixed (because he is). Some of my mixed friends babies look darker than their light skinned part. Genes are funny that way.

I don’t even think Megan looks “mixed” (basedon her true geneology) in many photographs. Granted she straightens her hair but I could take her for a Jewish gal or an Italian - not necessarily African American. She is beautiful, tho.

Except that he isn’t really mixed race, his genes are primarily European . He may darken over time but I doubt it. Whether he darkens or not he will still be handsome. Meghan looks very Southern European and yes I do know many biracial people. I have family members who qualify as such.

true in my case

no clue who the hell she was - But her name was all over the media b/c she was with Harry.

So I checked out a few episodes of Suits.

meh

Do you wish he’s married Taylor Swift?

what?

Are you insinuating that b/c Markle is part black that I'm a racist?

got some news for you, hon - I can't stand Swift either. I hate her voice, her style, and her personality.

another meh

lol - I am not "allowed" to share the FACT that she was off my radar until Harry came into her life. And along those lines, I can't even name ONE song Swift has sung.

feel batter?

I think PP was joking about the person who started a bunch of threads about TS and wished more than anything that she and Harry would see each other and it would be love at first sight. That person had a real let down when Harry fell for Meghan.

I was making that joke.

What an insane rant! Definitely a level 10 DCUMer meltdown.

That's a joke?

Nope. His camera was pointed directly at her - so in her face is accurate. And he didn't have a ticket to sit there because the bleachers surrounding Meghan + her entire section were empty on purpose.

He targeted her by crossing an empty stairwell to get to where the Indian family were sitting.

He was taking pics of himself.

Poor Meghan. He wasn't even taking pics of her, illicit or otherwise.

Pictures of himself with a phone directed straight at the most famous woman in the world while his profile was pointed AWAY from the court where the game was being played?

Please.

He wasn’t. You can zoom in and see he was taking a selfie with the game behind him.

And she is far from the most famous woman in the world.
