Meghan Merkel

[saintpeter48]

I can't seem to find anything about 'the interview' on here, what does everyone think, whose side are you on, is it damaging for the Royal Family, is there no going back now for Harry?

[teacake44]

On a serious note, what can we all do to rally round and help them through this tuff time. I'd pop down the charity shop for some girly baby clothes, but there all shut up. New ones from Primark, could AB start a collection??

[lankeela]

I'd have been far more worried about the possibility of it being ginger.

[richtee]

Oy- whats wrong with ginger!!!

[Sqad]

Alava......yes....Gloster Meteor.......

[Ric.ror]

Yes - what’s wrong with being ginger
I’m sick to death of hearing about it now though - Twitter was red hot this morning

What times it on tonight

;-))

[teacake44]

I wish Crossroads would come back, ( again) with a new Meg :0))))))

[Barsel]

If someone did ask about what colour Archie would be, there is only one senior royal who springs to mind, and I'm sure that if he did say it, it would be typical of his sense of humour and not to be taken seriously.
It will be interesting to see if the RF reply to the claims made, or will they stick to their 'Don't complain, Don't explain' policy.

[Samuraisan]

Quite honestly I don't see how anybody could be offended if your expected baby is mixed race and people enquire as to what they will look like, or how many genes they will have inherited to be what shade. My children are mixed race, Japanese/ Caucasion and I can't remember how many people said the same thing ( a lot about their eyes). I was never offended and actually wondered myself.

[ummmm]

Isn't this baby only 1/4 black. Meghan is pale mixed race, and Harry is ginger, renown for being very pale. There was always a good chance Archie was going to look white.

[teacake44]

In Crossroads Meg called her son Sandy, not sure this helps any. :0))))

[Peter Pedant]

like you st peter
we are too holy and unworldly to comment

actually I havent seen it yet - syndicated on ITV this evg
it is causing enough ja-ja - as it is!

[Peter Pedant]

// Isn't this baby only 1/4 black.//

british or american afro-caribbean please ....
I still think the emperor of Japan had a - - - hand in this
look at the child's eyes - the eyes of an asian look back !

[Paigntonian]

Funny she doesn't appear to have challenged the behaviour of the royal who made the skin remark. She can hardly be called a shrinking violet so one wonders why she bleats about it afterwards.

[Peter Pedant]

// teacake44On a serious note, what can we all do to rally round and help them through this tuff time. //

and rename the ickle prince Tuftee

I can knit string dish cloths and shape them into little boottees.

[Peter Pedant]

// the question could just as easily been “I wonder if he’ll have ginger hair then?”//

or he cd have like red hair just like The Prophet peace be on his head

er yes we know he was redhaired because the docs say so and a piece of his beard is in the Topkapi Museum

[AuntPollyGrey]

Unless it was cleverly edited, one of the clips shows Megan suggesting she was told the child would have no Title and no security because of its skin colour. This is utter rubbish, He is simply known as Master Archie after his parents decided not to give him one of the Duke of Sussex's lesser titles, the Earl of Dumbarton. This signalled the couple wanted their child to be a “private citizen”, this is why he was not given the Title of 'Prince'

[bednobs]

cant only sons and grandchildren of the reigning monarch be given the styling prince anyway?

[emmie]

according to Harry, it was not either grandparent who mentioned the childs colour, but wouldn't say who did.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Bednobs -yes that is true. Its also true that being a princess does not automatically grant the right to Palace security 24/7. Andrews daughters are Princesses but have to pay for their own security.

Archie will be able to be called a Prince when his Grandfather (Charles) becomes King.

[AuntPollyGrey]

I'd put a substantial bet on who it was -and also that it was meant in either affection or jest and not the least bit racist.
