So she's anti-gun, that's fine...but you don't get off to a good start with your new inlaws by inserting your SJW opinions and thumbing your nose and ridiculing their longstanding traditions. She didn't need to shoot, but she should have attended out of respect for the Queen. She was also far too shrewishly vocal politically with her opinions, which is frowned upon in the monarchy.

Yep, but most of don't believe that lie any more than we believe the other lies these two tell.

No, it's decided when you're born. If you are a male-line grandchild of the reigning monarch you are a prince/princess at birth. If you're the grandchild of a monarch who was born before they succeeded to the throne then you aren't. Archie is the great-grandchild of the reining monarch; he has no title.
This came in to play during WWI when George V ordered all his siblings, children and their heirs to renounce any German titles they held. He discovered several of grandchildren and nephews and nieces actually held no British titles.

let me just say as an American I feel that all this hereditary head of state crap is silly- dukes, queens, princes, they all belong in fairy tale books IMHO. But several European countries retain figurehead monarchs with varying degrees of duties and powers, so if it works for them I guess that's their choice.

yeah, question is why does Meghan feel so entitled to a title from that system for her precious snowflake?

I watched the interview. The person who questioned what color skin Archie would have was not identified. Also Harry mentioned several times he didn't feel comfortable talking about some things.

Archie becomes prince when Charles becomes king.

Harry and Megan claim the royal family is trying to change that.

Now she is claiming racism because they wouldn’t let her act like a normal person. Guess what, you marry into a royal family and you are no longer a normal person.
The world is already pretty interconnected.

Harry and Meghan are each other’s 15th cousins, as are William and Kate.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are each other’s cousins (9th or 10th, IIRC)

The Obamas, the Bushes, and the Clintons are distant cousins of each other, and of all of the above. Same with Brooke Shields. And many more.

Having nothing to do with skin color and looking at character, she appears as a user who manipulates. mo
