Oh dear, it's not going well is it?

Insults ? Where?

oopsaminty yes there are 1000s of people with racist views & attitudes. None are in my close friendship group but I have certainly met plenty!
I am sure there are some sycophant royalists who would hate anyone of any background who they felt had bismirched the image of the RF . As a rebuplican ( in the British sense not USA!) I don't know too much about the RF other than when it is headline news...e.g weddings, funerals and suspected paedophilia.

This thread needs shutting down now! It has run it's course and developed into something else entirely!!!

Isn't that what some threads naturally do lemsip? And ironically Meghan is the one constantly fuelling it, which is her express intention.
I would like to see her next video shot in a room piled with toys, a rampant dog or two playing with Archie, a basket of washing piled up and Meghan cooking the dinner! I know that was all I had time for at that point.

lemsip, no- as the conversation about how people identify themselves and others, is particularly relevant to this thread.

BTW, people only talk about people as 'mixed race' if it shows. I know many mixed race people who do not look mixed race.
My husbands family grew up in Apartheid South AFrica- they KNOW the difference that makes.

I think Meg’s speed of talking so irritating, could be because I
am Welsh !

merlotgran Tue 13-Oct-20 10:43:39

lemsip. I started this thread at the beginning of May!

It had run its course but then biba resurrected it.

Naturally it has evolved but the comments are still relevant.

Anyway, Meghan's about to discuss 'how she leads on the global stage' in another virtual summit. hmm

Stand by your beds!!

Anniebach Tue 13-Oct-20 11:28:16

Good grief, she is barking

I'm all ears merlotgrangrin

Elegran Tue 13-Oct-20 11:53:25

Someone organising the summit must have asked her to do it. There is nothing like being "famous" to make people reverently listen to your opinion on everything under the sun, whether you have a clue about it or not.

merlotgran Tue 13-Oct-20 12:21:37

I think you have to be very familiar with 'Woke speak.' She loses me after about the third sentence.

If I get that far.

I agree, I struggle to find anything Meghan says as interesting or relevant.

maddyone Tue 13-Oct-20 12:51:53

Sorry, don't know where the better came from.

Anniebach Tue 13-Oct-20 13:33:58

When they spoke of education for girls , Harry said he was lucky to have the education he had,

Harry, girls are not accepted at Eaton and there is that minor
problem of money

Sparklefizz Tue 13-Oct-20 13:41:46

If we don't like the way Harry's behaving nowadays, does this mean we are "gingerist"? grin

Anniebach Tue 13-Oct-20 13:47:27

? surely not Sparkle

Ginger is very fashionable these days. Have you noticed all the child models with red hair. Very cute and colourful!

Ellianne Tue 13-Oct-20 13:55:21

And my dogs today!

Ellianne Tue 13-Oct-20 13:56:23

Sorry, thread derailment.

Namsnanny Tue 13-Oct-20 14:12:48

Beautiful dogs Ellianne....Brean??

Ellianne Tue 13-Oct-20 14:15:55

Thanks Namsnanny, East Devon.

Namsnanny Tue 13-Oct-20 14:55:15

Happy dogs, and lovely setting!

PECS Tue 13-Oct-20 15:02:16

Not remotely interested in dogs belonging to people I do not know.

Ellianne Tue 13-Oct-20 15:11:01

Terribly sorry PECS. And I have apologised once already.
So why are you interested in comments on Meghan's heritage, colour, hair, dogs, husband, house etc which this thread is all about? I assume you know her personally?
You also don't get the irony in some of the latest comments, when earlier a poster said the thread had evolved in all directions and was no longer fit for purpose!!
