Not so out there as it initially seems if Kanye is up for it too!

H&M have big ideas for themselves, or so it seems.

I read a week or two ago, that H&M's people were looking into the knotty problem of have access to a title and keeping US citizenship. Its been on and off the agenda since before the wedding.

According to the law you cant have a title and be a US citizen, and you cant enter into politics if you aren't an American citizen.

So if I understand this correctly perhaps H&M are aiming higher for their future careers?

Well it worked for RReagan, and Clint Eastwood and less well for Swarzineggar!

It would be a natural progression given the 'platform' H and his connections have obligingly supplied.

M has made it no secret that she wants to position herself at the forefront of public life.
What could be more in line with this wish than being in politics?

From H's point of view being a minor royal 4th in line, with all the constraints of protocol, dont compare with the glamour or financial rewards of being the husband of the first female President.
Even a senators life cant be all bad. At least you get to call the shots.

Makes sense of all the peculiar things she/they have done in my mind.
The only thing that doesnt fit is saying they want to stay clear of the press, then courting them!

Maybe it that's initially what H wanted, a life free from intrusion, but changed his mind when he saw the benefits of supporting his wife's ideas?
Perhaps the court case is more about controlling the press now and in the future, than simply protecting their personal lives?
Maybe it was a misjudged manipulation of information by M? After all her friends leaked the letter.
Who knows? I certainly dont!

But watch this space, I think M&H think they are the next Kennedys!

Would she demand they change the name of the official residence then? Well, cannot possibly call it The White House can she?!?!?

Markle’s maternal ancestors would have been stateless, as they were cotton slaves.

Your nationality is not the same as your race.

Her paternal ancestors were from Europe presumably Germany?

Anniebach Mon 06-Jul-20 15:41:25

Her race ? She is American isn’t she ? As are her parents and
grandparents

GagaJo Mon 06-Jul-20 15:13:55

Just a query. Are the same people who think that MM isn't being attacked because of her race, also those who disagree with BLM?

Merlot grin ??????

There hasn’t been a single racist comment on this thread and posters would do well to remember that.
Both Kanye and Meghan would be ridiculous contenders for
Being in the running for President, nothing at all to do with colour but everything to do with them being unsuitable, not least because they have no experience in politics ( as well as other things.) I also think that Donald Trump is just as unsuitable btw and he happens to be white.
Time for the US to appoint a reasonable POTUS and hopefully Joe Biden will win this year.

Namsnanny an interesting OP which has certainly got posters engaged with the subject.?

Anniebach Mon 06-Jul-20 13:17:26

At times ? ?

Firstly this thread is goady fuckery becsuse it’s about something that hasn’t happened - it’s predicated upon a lie. It’s a dog whistle because it’s set up in a supposedly jokey way to have a go at a black woman whilst masquerading as something more acceptable. Here’s a definition.

‘The phrase "dog whistle" has been around for years. It's political shorthand for a phrase that may sound innocuous to some people, but which also communicates something more insidious either to a subset of the audience or outside of the audience’s conscious awareness — a covert appeal to some noxious set of views.’

suziewoozie, You don't 'alf talk a load of goady bollocks at times. grin

Harry chose to leave his extended family ,Megan only invited her mother to her wedding but many celebrity friends so couldn’t have been close to her extended family.

3nanny6 Mon 06-Jul-20 12:49:04

Seems this thread is really about "Meghan" and all her faults,
One way or another it was Harry that chose to marry her it was his own choice and he went for it. No Meghan is nothing like
Kate and why should she be.?
I see similarities between the Diana and Charles saga here and all that has happened is the big media attention and hype has now passed a generation and turned to Harry and Meghan all quite sad.
Harry is being pushed further and further out of his extending family and Meghan only has her mother on her side so they have not got much support. They may have money but it seems not much happiness I think just leave them to it because it is done and dusted and they rode off into the sunset.

It’s all Been said before many times.. the Diana stuff, the manipulating Harry stuff, the “Two bit actress” stuff, the aren’t Kate and William so much more dignified stuff

Jane10 Mon 06-Jul-20 12:21:19

Ooh using such racist language 'past master'! Overtones of slavery ownership. Shocking.

Harry has married his mother , he sees his mother in Meg ,
thought his mother was a victim , thinks his wife is a victim,
but she is playing the victim as did his mother

Diana was beginning to receive increasingly negative press towards the end of her life because of her lies, disrespect to the royal family and constant manipulation of press coverage. She also was estranged from members of her family and some friends at the time of her death.

At the risk of repeating what has been said many times before. I do not think the negative press Meghan attracts is
anything to do with her colour.

It’s because she isn’t doing what she signed up for when she married into the royal family.

And if she wasn’t aware of what that entailed, perhaps she should have given it a bit more time and thought before committing.

I would feel exactly the same about it all if it had been Catherine who wanted out,

Totally agree with calendargirl.

Hope MM doesn't try and run for President! I do wish them happiness in their lives but I just want them both to go away and live a quiet life away from the spotlight where we would never have to hear or see anything of them again, and for the media to stop reporting anything about them.

Lucca Mon 06-Jul-20 10:17:30

Just wanted to know Urmstongran if you are pleased at the prospect of Trump being re-elected? I did ask before...

Anniebach Mon 06-Jul-20 08:28:07

Are all present leaders corrupt ?

Whitewavemark2 Mon 06-Jul-20 07:51:19

Her choice I would have thought, but almost certainly by her married name if she follows previous presidents. Admittedly only men though?

Given what is beginning to become clear of the moral base of our leaders and their behaviour, both sexually and corruption, she would be a welcome relief quite frankly.

Calendargirl Mon 06-Jul-20 07:29:36

What would she be called WWM2?

President Markle?
President Wales?
President Mountbatten Windsor?
President Sussex?

Whitewavemark2 Mon 06-Jul-20 07:26:09

If Markel stood, she would stand as a democrat and given her various areas of interest and the charities she supports I would think she would make a good president.

I would vote for her.

She stands head and shoulders above Trump and imo most republicans.

Her interests have stood her in good stead since her teenage years and they have been constant and consistent.

Go Meghan!!

It was a general reference to Gransnet members Namsnanny. Having said that, I do think the GN and media obsession about MM is rooted in racism..

Namsnanny Mon 06-Jul-20 00:55:30

Do you find my original post racist Eloethan, Gagajo?
Or are you referring to the contributors?

GagaJo Mon 06-Jul-20 00:33:53

I agree Eloethan. My daughter made a sage comment today. 'Funny how people saying racist things don't like being called racist.'
