Prince Harry will not meet the King during UK visit.

He came, he went.

Has he been ‘Markled’ as well ?

I was looking at the video of Meghan Markle addressing the Nigerians. Did she said what I thought she said? The problem is she talked a lot of twaddle so I don’t even know whether I get hold of the right end of the stick.

“Young Nigerian girls, when they see someone like her who looks like them, they will realise that they too can be successful and powerful.”

That is so patronising claiming to be a role model for young Nigerian women when she is an American, not a Nigerian, and don’t even look like them.

Yes, and brave, resilient, courageous, beautiful

Nigeria has a lot of highly intelligent strong, powerful, successful women of its own already.

He came, he went.

Did she really say that, 'successful and powerful'?

What a selective memory she has.

That's ridiculous Syracute, there's nothing at all racist about Spore's post.

Well maybe they can be as 'successful and powerful' if they find an unsuspecting prince to marry Spore.

The BBC are no longer impartial about anything. They haven’t been for a number of years. I still watch their news programmes because they’re well put together, but I’m aware that I’m watching the BBC’s version of the the truth. I suppose we could call it ^their truth.^

Since being on soc ial media in general, I have become increasingly aware how biased some people are. Which heavily influences their thoughts, speech and writings, at times.

I dont think the BBC is immune to that phenomenen either.

That’s it. Why Megan is supported by some but not all, she and
Harry are celebrities

... and she can sing !!

Forgot the photo.

She's a strong contender.

Perhaps Harry should have married lady GaGa.
Princess GaGa has such a ring to it.

Lady Gaga and Madonna knew how to curtsey properly to the Queen!
Just saying, because they're American too.

I agree Callistemon.
The bias towards what’s happening in Gaza, with their refusal to call Hamas terrorists, and rather describing them as a proscribed by the British government group, it very worrying in my opinion. A terrorist organisation who have committed such bestial terrorist atrocities should be called what it is, a terrorist organisation, and that is what it is called by many countries including our own. I find it offensive that the BBC, an organisation to which we all are forced to pay a subscription, should behave in this way.

The media has to supply, or create, demand for news 24/7 in order to earn their ridiculous salaries.
I'm surprised at the BBC, though. They are supposedly impartial but Chris Ship does seem to have a wooden spoon which he uses quite often.

Yes Callistemon

It was said on BBC 6.00pm news, surprised me

We can avoid gossipy magazines, social media and Twitter or whatever it's called now, which can be influenced by people with an agenda, but when our main news sources are biased it is worrying.

I fail to see how anyone could not see how Meghan’s grossly exaggerated curtsy was mocking the queen. She was extremely disrespectful. This was obvious, and I’m not even a monarchist. I thought her behaviour very poor. She clearly has no manners because monarchist or not, no one should think it okay to be so disrespectful to our Head of State.
That was to Daddima.

lemsip

and on and on and on and on.

And?
What's your point?

If you are not interested in discussing the influence of the media then why are you on this thread?
Other threads are available.

Sometimes I’m glad we don’t hear that much about H and M here. We did see a short item about Nigeria but not much in the way of commentary. Only that she had done a DNA test and is now claiming Nigeriality.

and on and on and on and on.

Apologies, BBC, Chris Ship is the ITV Royal reporter.

ITV should adhere to professional standards too but he falls below that threshold on occasion.
