The Royals, Does It Really Matter?

[ouibonjour]

For Heavens sake - does it really matter if families discuss a future babies colour? Isnt it only natural? Find out who leaked the comments and have a go at them! How much did they get paid for the private info? Stop all the fuss - its very detrimentel to the Royals and all  publicity to sell the books!

I think they said what the rest of us were thinking but someone dobbed on them.

[Countrylover]

Agreed!

[naomi24]

I wouldn't believe anyone who said they didn't wonder what colour skin a baby of a mixed race couple might have.  It's not racist - it's normal.  The leak is said to have come from private correspondence between Meghan and the King so someone leaked it .... and it wasn't the King.

[DTCwordfan]

there's talk that the Palace may sue for defamation and libel.

[nicebloke1]

Find out who leaked the comments. Yes thats the whole idea.

Harry and Meg have been on the slander trail for some time, so its about time they where both put to bed, once and for all. Legal action may just be the way forward and empty they bank account of their ill gotten gains.

[naomi24]

I hope they do.  Someone needs to take the wind out of those two windbags.

[Barsel]

DTC, I wish they would, and I wish they would strip them of their titles and remove them from the line of succession.

Perhaps if they did that, they would just fade away.

Who said what?

If it was older members of the royal family I suppose a question like, 'Are we going to have a little darkie in the family?', would speak of the times they were brought up in and attitudes prevalent then.

[Barsel]

When Harry was interviewed by Tom Bradby, he said the RF wasn't racist it was unconscious bias. 

Now Scooby Doo has dragged it all up again.

[DTCwordfan]

the case is probably more against the Dutch publishers and Ovoid Scabie's, or whatever his name is, book than against the Sussexes. What it could do is force out the name of who went blah-blah.

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, I doubt very much indeed that anything like that was said.  That's in your head.

[Barsel]

The Dutch translator said she translated what was in the manuscript. 

It's a mystery as to how the book had that info in it for the translator in the Netherlands and not in the English version.

 

[naomi24]

No mystery.  The information was in the manuscript.  The publishers haven't made it up.

[Barsel]

Naomi, it was only in the Netherlands book and when it was discovered, it was taken off the shelves and republished.

If it was published in other countries I haven't heard about it.

[naomi24]

I haven't heard of it in other countries either, but it must have been in the manuscript the author sent to the piblishers.  

[Countrylover]

My agreement was to the OP

[naomi24]

This has to be the last straw for those two surely?

[douglas9401]

The last straw will only come about when commentators stop commenting.

Some say this is an impossibility and history shows some truth.

[naomi24]

They're the commentators who need to stop commentating.

[Barsel]

Naomi, I still think it's a mystery as surely the manuscript would be seen by lots of other people including lawyers, and they wouldn't have passed it if it named the Royals who supposedly said it. I'm sure we will hear more about it and hopefully, it will be the last straw for the duo, especially if it turns out they had something to do with it.
