Harry and Meghan's Netflix Show

Della, there were lots of reasons that people resented Meghan, just as many people resented Diana (and many loved her.) It is true that Meghan herself mentioned racist remarks directed to her, from some of the royals themselves, but I never said or implied that people resented her for only that reason, though I'm sure there were plenty that did. The ugly head of racism gets reared whenever it finds an openng.

But please don't put words in my mouth. Saying she was resented from the beginning for all sorts of reasons means exactly that. Probably some of the reasons had to do with her personality, her American-ness, maybe even envy of her beauty. And some of the reasons undoubtedly had to do with race or nationality. Diana was also a controversial figure, in her case obviously having nothing to do with race. Meghan and Harry who seems to be still grieving for his mother) may be seen by some as a symbol of Diana.

I think so far the series is interesting, and will tune in again next week, and reach my own conclusions. I don't have any bias one way or the other on this subject, and I think your own anger is what is driving your comments, not anything I've said on the subject. Which brings me back to my original observation, that some subjects (American politics, the Covid vaccine, British royalty, gun control - my God, especially that!) seem to bring out the argumentive side in many people, even on a supposedly "friendly" discussion board.

Maybe we could find a way to discuss some of these subjects without snarling at each other? (Well, we can't discuss politics, but political biases do get into lots of other subjects, anyway). But Meghan and Harry? Really, do they have any effect on your life at all, as a midwestern American?

I apologize for that. I did think you were implying racism, so I was wrong about that.

I'm also sorry if I appear to be angry and snarling all the time. I'm well aware that I'm argumentative, but I'm rarely angry when I post. Annoyed maybe, but not angry. I'll have to work on my tone.

Meghan, like Diana, has been a trailblazer in everything she does.
I would suspect that if Diana was alive, she would be proud of Harry, and his choice of wife.
Meghan embodies that same spirit that Diana had.
Americans loved Diana for it.

I saw more interracial couples in Britain in the sixties than I ever saw here at the time.

Yes, when we were in England 1990-1993 I was very impressed with the relative lack of racism. We had several black American Air Force friends who married white English women while we were there. Every one of them elected to get out of the Air force so they could live the rest of their lives in England.

You and Sunny have had so many negative comments about those of us chatting on this thread I just have to defend us a little.

The chances that they will read any negative comments about them on this board are extremely slim and if they should and it makes them feel bad then they can go open some of their stacks of fan mail and read loving letters to their hearts content. On the other hand, those of us on this small message board are bound to read your critical and demeaning thoughts about us and we don't have any fan mail to the contrary. You have called us hateful. You have said we are pulling others down so that we don't have to face our own short comings. What are you doing to us, if not pulling us down?

Sorry you feel this way....but again, here is my quote. I never called you hateful. I also included myself in having shortcomings.

Will people ever stop being negative? until people tend to their own imperfections, and not pull others down so we don't have to think of our own shortcomings, it will never end.

Would you please remove my name from this post and your original which comes after a quote I did not make.
My opening post simply said ..Will it ever end ...

I can't access the original, but I am sorry for tagging your initial question. Please forgive me.

Let me explain my sad reaction above. Sad you are requesting this, not that there's no action yet.

Well you can still post as it is not yet locked. Apparently I did not do the request in the correct manner so I am not sure that it will be locked.
However, I am done with it so carry on folks...just keep my name out of it.
 
It seems Matrix is unable to find any problem with this thread other than the fact that I have complained about being misquoted.
However I see my name has been deleted from some so have no proof.
That was not the only reason for my request. I just felt some of the posts were getting too personal among others and as I started the post I felt obligated to end it..
He has also gone back into other of my older posts, made changes and criticized which I cannot argue about as I don't remember the originals. Nitpicking now.
So I will leave this thread to continue without me.

I haven't seen any indication that they are lying about the house, or the house not being theirs. But apparently they are sellng it because they want to buy a bigger house in a fancier neighborhood.

Is there something wrong with that?

the house is not theirs... it was lent to them by a Billionaire.. it's been all over the media... . Just another lie from the Harkle Nest
 
I think their whole thing they have going on is fake attention getting. If they really disliked the RF and didn't want the attention, they would have gotten married, privately told the family that now that William has enough heirs to the throne, they will be stepping down from the Royal duties. Then they would have disappeared in the sunset never to be heard of again while they live out their lives privately. But no, they seem to be going to every tabloid and every interviewer who will listen and just blasting and putting down the Royal family. That's wrong. Don't air your dirty laundry like that for the world to see and laugh at. Then they expect for the RF to not be upset or mad?? I think the whole thing is horrible. If they hate that life so much just leave and go on with your life in private. Meghan is probably a perfect example of why in the past the Royals encouraged their family to marry other royalty or people within that circle who understands that life. And I would think that as the first Black American to marry into the RF that Meghan would want to set a better example. There are people with REAL problems in the world, like trying to put food on the table for their kids and she's crying because of curtsies and royal duties or whatever she's upset about. Goodness! People are so silly!
