The claim that the palace wouldn’t give her mental healthcare is real fishy considering the other princes have all been very public about being in therapy themselves and do a poo poo ton of work with mental health charities.

no, in 2021 you definitely have to ask the queen permission to summon the royal headshrink and sit through an hour-long presentation on colloidal silver from prince charles like you're at the court of louis xiv, you can't just go to the doctor yourself like a normal person

I'm not having a hard time imagining that both parties are in every sense in the wrong and everyone involved being pampered babies complaining that the world doesn't revolve just enough around making their lives just that extra bit easier.

Backing either side is the wrong take, you can both think that the British monarchy is a backwards torture chamber overdue for removal by three centuries AND that Harry and Meghan should stop whining about not getting enough tax shillings to have the life of the top 0.0000000001% without actually working for it.

The thing is it was removed a bit over three centuries ago and things got worse to the point people were clamoring for it's return.

Prince Philip, looking at 2 white people:
“Hmm yes have you considered if your baby gets too much sun it may resemble a quadroon?”

Edit: I think the monarchy is kind of a good thing because BoJo is less pompous and dumb than Trump. Nobody calls him their god emperor because that position is already taken. So it helps create an upper limit on hubris maybe?

The main thing is the Prime Minister has a lot less individual power than the President. The concentration of so much power inevitably leads to problems.

You have to swear allegiance to the queen of england to become a canadian citizen. She probably has veto power there, too.

Hello friends, my name is Prince Harry from UK, I want to share the secret and story of my wealth to the general public today because I want to use this opportunity to help and reach out to the youths, young men and women of UK and all over the world, who are experiencing financial difficulties and problems and as a result of this end up in committing various kinds of crimes like robbery and drugs and even end up in suicide or wasting up their lives, as you read my story and follow my instructions all your financial problems and difficulties will come to an end today. I was very poor and could barely feed, I did all sort of hard labors and hard jobs just to earn a living, my mate laughed at me and life was so miserable and at a point I taught of committing suicide, until one faithful day I saw and read a post on the internet about the USA CHURCH OF MAGIC, also called SOLUTION TEMPLE. I contacted them and told them all my problems in life and they told me not to worry at all that all is fine and that all my difficulties are over, I still doubted because I have heard stories about people being scammed on the internet but I gave them all my trust because life without money is as good as being dead, I would rather die than to remain poor, I was born poor but I will not die poor because I am determined to be rich and at that point of my life I would do anything just to become successful and I gave them all my trust. They cast a wealth spell for me and up till this moment I don't know how I became so rich because money began to flow and also fame came, as I write now I don't only have money but I meet and discuss with the top politicians here in the USA because most of them are also doing this to make money.

I'm sorry that I mistook the esteemed British Royalty for being concerned with such petty grievances of racism as opposed to whether a baby might be perceived as a quadroon.

So what is racist about asking what the skin colour of a child will be? Given Meghans background the baby could have easily been black or white. There was no suggestion that there was any racism, just that a conversation was had with the question about what colour.

The entire interview just seemed like two extremely privileged people trashing the very institution that gave given them this platform. If they hate the Royal Family then why keep the titles?

How stupid are you?








If the child wasn't blanched white the idea is that it isn't a precursor to the throne of England.
That's...that's the whole point of why people are like "wtf" about it.

The crown is stating "Your baby isn't white enough to assume royal office". It was tainted in some way to avoid getting into the lineage of England.

That is the literal end all, be all of what has happened.

The child is still seventh in line to the throne..... no one is contesting that at all and no one cares what colour the Childs skin is.

A grandchild of a Monarch automatically becomes Prince or Princess. Archie is GREAT-grandchild of the Queen. So is not entitled to be a prince.

That specific question isnt. Like just being curious about what colour a baby will be when it's mother looks basically white and it's father is a pale ginger isnt racist but it all depends on who is asking that question and why, what's the agenda behind it and why do they care if the baby looks black or white? But as it's the upper class and solely a white system there's no doubt a bunch of racist views in that family/ institution even if they're not evil and blatantly hate people of colour im sure many hold bigoted and old fashioned views, Price Phillip is a text book example of this. Based on anecdotes etc it seems like The Queen, Prince William and some are pretty alright though.

But lol yes at 2 very rich people complaining about privacy then moving to loving LA of all places and effectively making themselves even more public than they were before.
