Anyone going to be reading his latest swipe at the Royal Family which comes out tomorrow?

Me neither!

The spite aimed at The Princess of Wales smacks of someone's jealousy. Not a nice trait at all.

^Now we have this new Scoobie Doo nonsense^.
Be very careful Chestnut and * Jaberwok*. You do know you're being racist here! 🀣 πŸ˜‚

You'll have to explain that because Scooby Doo is a dog. πŸ˜‚

Who, me?

I expect that despite this latest salvo (albeit nothing to do with H&M, believe that if you like) Charles will have invited the Sussexes to Sandringham for Christmas and of course they won’t come (how embarrassing would that walk to the Church and back be?).

Are dogs now self-identifying as a race? That means they are human and not animals? I know some children are identifying as cats, but this is a new development.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Nov-23 17:33:55

My dog seems to identify as human.

Joseann Tue 28-Nov-23 17:53:43

My dog is ginger, has the same name as the Grimm Prince across the pond, and can be difficult and stubborn. He has a female friend in the field who instigates his games, and he dances to her tune.

Anyway, back to Omid Scobie, a couple of years ago when everything was kicking off, I called him Scooby Doo here on GN and was accused of being a racist. Along with a lot of other posters I never understood why? grin

PS I think you're safe, the accusers concerned are no longer posting.

My dog identifies as a King and expects to be treated accordingly.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Nov-23 18:02:01

Mine is a Queen and is definitely treated accordingly. I know my place.

Whethertomorrow Tue 28-Nov-23 18:06:56

You should try having cats if you want to know your correct place in the scheme of things. Dogs are just a pushover in comparison.

Allsorts Tue 28-Nov-23 18:08:53

Dreadful man, he’s made a fortune out if it,

Yes, I remember that daft comment to you!! πŸ•

Racist? Or Doggist?

"Dogs think they are human"
"Cats know they are Gods".

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Nov-23 18:27:35

I used to, Whethertomorrow, lots of them, for years. So I’m used to being a servant, bottom of the pile.

NanKate Tue 28-Nov-23 19:28:31

He looks about 18 to me but is in fact 42 😳

What an absolute waste of space.

merlotgran Tue 28-Nov-23 19:30:00

I think he has a look of Michael Jackson about him.

Louella12 Tue 28-Nov-23 19:39:20

So what will happen now the name of the family member who dared wonder about colouring, has been released?

Anniebach Tue 28-Nov-23 20:05:45

Who is the named family member ?

Louella12 Tue 28-Nov-23 20:12:15

Anniebach

Who is the named family member ?

It's all over Twitter and Tiktok

Not that they're always reliable, of course

Oreo Tue 28-Nov-23 20:22:52

The spite aimed at Catherine can only be from one person πŸ˜‰
If none of the book was true then Harry and Meghan should come out and say so.If they stay silent then that means they really are the source of the book’s content.
I think KC is crazy inviting them for Christmas.

Louella12 Tue 28-Nov-23 20:30:38

I don't think they've been invited for Christmas. Apparently they said they'd come if asked πŸ™„

Anniebach Tue 28-Nov-23 20:38:55

Thank you Louella

So the book has been withdrawn from bookshelves in the Netherlands, because when being translated one of the members of the RF who supposedly raised the matter of the colour of Archie's skin has been named.

Some translation to miraculously come up with a name that wasn't in the book to begin with hmm.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Nov-23 23:00:00

Very odd. The alleged person is named on Google.

Callistemon21 Tue 28-Nov-23 23:23:39

I feel sorry for Archie. He's being used as a weapon to damage his paternal family.

OldFrill Tue 28-Nov-23 23:29:55

I definitely don't think they'll be invited for Xmas now!
