Not exactly joined up thinking, Hilary...

Good point, Callistemon! I’d just been reading about Super Tuesday, so she was on my mind even though she’s not running.

If racism isn’t used they are left with the truth as to why Megan is unpopular, so they choose to play the race card

Why oh why do people persist in using that stupid phrase?

Racism isn't a game, it isn't a card to be put down?

I did think of Hillary Clinton too and thought Rosina had spelt it the normal way, not like the surname.

Let me wrap my head around this, M is unpopular because she is a money grabbing nasty pece of work. Rather than face up to this unplatable fact, some people latch onto racism as a sort of lazy way to explain her behaviour and that of her husband?

It'll be interesting to watch the new Spitting Image series when it starts soon. The puppets of M & H are already completed. I wonder whether their will be an outcry of unfair bias then too?

You got it at last Greymare

Racism is rubbish, the Royal family that she married into has bent over backwards to accommodate her at the cost of many millions but she wanted more.

You are right, if Meghan is not liked and it’s not racism, what is it then? Then we have to conclude that it’s her behaviour. And it’s not Meghan who is disliked, it’s the things Meghan has done. And continues to do.

No, racism isn't a game Greymar, the criticism M's been receiving has nothing to do with race even though it appears that's what she'd like us to believe.

Good for you, you tell it as it is.

nothing to do with race even though it appears that's what she'd like us to believe.

That's because it's the easiest way to get critics to back off, rather than address the way she's behaved.

Exactly Chewbacca.

And it’s not Meghan who is disliked, it’s the things Meghan has done. And continues to do

Absolutely agree with that (although I’d add Harry to that too)

Spot on Davidhs

I agree with Chewbacca. I didn't know who she was when I first tuned into the interview. Her comments about racism towards Meghan just sort of hung in the air with no further explanation or challenge by the interviewer.

As for comments on Kate's figure and dress sense, well! Ms Mantel chooses to wear that she likes and Kate does the same. I didn't like what she was wearing, but she has a right to dress as she pleases and so does Kate. We're all jointed humans of one shape or another. I found her very offensive.
