I've long been a republican (not the US type, the UK anti-monarchy type) but I got to chip in and say that the Prince Andrew no sweat interview pretty much justified public spending on the royals in entertainment factor

Also lol if you're still surprised that a royal family in 2021 is an elitist, racist, misogynistic and inbred relic of a by-gone era

Did anyone address the fact that the royal family had a deformed child 200 years ago and sealed him up in a secret room? And that he's still alive and comes out to feast on the flesh of innocents, slaughtered by the Royal Family to appease him?

Why isn't Oprah asking the REAL questions here???

The queen married him so its not really a secret these days

Absolutely no way. Racism in the US is ingrained in it's society. The UK has never had segregation and does not have the same level of social division that the US has. London is one of the most multicultural cities in the world and there is no issue with police brutality.

How many bullets to the face did it take to stop that terrorist running and jumping barriers* onto the Tube?
(*slightly tanned man walking normally)

It's worth reading about the the colour bar if you want to understand what segregation was like in the UK, and just how deep rooted racism is here. Also, casual racism is absolutely everywhere here, and entirely reenforced by the same media class that go after Meghan time and time again. I mean the whole country revels a national 'hero' whose genocides in India potentially killed more than the holocaust.

How many people die each year in the US because of the police?

I don't disagree that racism is present in the UK. But it is not overt nor as impactful as it is in the US

Fewer than in the USA, sure. But black people are still more likely to die in custody here than white people.

I wasn't saying there wasn't press coverage of both of them, it's the difference in the coverage with very unsubtle reasoning. See below for a front page I'd like to see an equivalent to.

Your argument seems to be that Meghan getting transparently racist hounding in the press doesn't matter because other royals are also hounded in the press

The same way as were saying on the last page that Britain being massively racist doesn't matter because theres racism in other countries too.

So in conclusion:

Royal Family are OP.
The Monarchy is an integral part of British society and should remain so.
The vast majority of the public do not want an elected head of state.
The vast majority of the public support the Queen and the Royal Family.
The issues of police brutality are relatively not an issue for the UK.
Racism in the UK and US are two entirely different things. Both with are rooted in different perspectives and experiences.
The media are twats.

In all my travels the british were the people who treated me the worst. Just a total disdain for any foreigners. The first person I spoke to upon landing at the airport in the UK gave me poo poo for daring to stay longer than 2 weeks (Canadians are allowed up to 6 months with no visa), not believing me when I said I could afford to travel, detained me while letting my SO go through. Let me through after making me wait in their holding area for an hour.

Next time I went through the border I figured oh I'll just get a travel visa so all of this is taken care of beforehand. Nope. Even though I told the british government how long I stayed previously, paid for the additional 6 month travel visa, AND got it approved by them. I was still given poo poo by the border agents. These are the first people that a traveler will meet when they visit your country. How do you gently caress this up so hard? It will cloud a visitors entire experience.

Visiting China was easier. They are racist but at least they want your money. Brits seemed like they were doing you a favor for letting you into their country.

No European country gave a poo poo when they saw my Canadian passport. Neither did the US, at least with flights.

You made a very simple.mistake: visiting the UK

The Queen is both a slow waving autocue drone and an insane blood thirsty assassin.

Like other reptiles, the amount of activity she can carry out is imited by her blood temperature. As explain in David Attenborough's fantastic series 'Life without Sweat' the royals are a well studied diurnal reptilian species and have historically used the warmth of the day to carry out that blood lust, racism and general noncing.

Of course, with the advent of technology, the queen can now incubate in a heat pod for up to 12 hours to enable her to carry out such work in the dark, allowing her to leave the palace in the cover of night for Tinder dates, or go on excursions to Paris just after midnight.

Of course, whilst her Maj loves the charging pod her cousin and husband Phillip bought her for her birthday, she still enjoys the energy giving properties of the sun and much like her ancestors before her will stand in the sun waving for periods of time, whilst her blood temperature is warmed.

The crystal I wear around my neck contains an essence that gets recharged when I am racist. It gives me confidence at work, home, social situations, etc. It has allowed me to live to long past my expiration date. Nobody knows about my racism crystal but me and my wife. I have seen it glow white whilst meeting some Indians that's how I know this is real.
