Nightcrawler means that she didn't specifically name any one member of the royal family when she made her accusations. Instead she painted the whole lot of them with a broad brush of condemnation, which is actually MORE damaging, but then that was the intent...

Actually, Lady C., friend and author of books on the royals, tells us in a YouTube video that she personally had the same discussion with a member of the family (Lady C. is Jamaican and mixed race herself), who voiced the fervent hope that Archie would look more like Meghan than Harry.

Thank you, that's exactly what I meant.


It left us with the imagination of who said what.
but in reality, what difference would it make if she did infact give a specific name, none really.


the whole "Royal" BS situation is actually entertaining if nothing else, and this thing of "Royalty" and biong "Royal", to me, is complete and utter nonsense.


they bleed just like we do, but, entertaining none the less.....

She was bullied by the British media - so she was obviously paying attention to the media. Yet she claims not to have read the many, many, many articles about the Royal family, the protocols, the rules and obligations?? That's on her. And on Harry.

No help when suicidal, but she saw how many doctors during her pregnancy? Again, that's on her and Harry.

The baby was never entitled to a royal title - once again, that's on her and Harry.

The question about the baby's skin color is similar to wondering who the baby might look like. Not racist, at most it's just ignorant. And it doesn't make the asker a racist, that person is simply ignorant of genetics. It was very clear that she and Harry wanted children when they got engaged, I don't recall any Royal family drama about that.

Left the royal family for a quiet life, yet air all of this supposed dirty laundry on TV? Screams narcissistic attention grabbing to me. Her own ignorance is astounding....

I often said that if any of my biracial kids inherited red hair, it would probably be unfortunate for them. I might have even considered dyeing it - LOL.

To me, Harry has been lost since his mother died. Then an older woman comes along, yes only a few years, but she no doubt was seductively assertive with him, coy and manipulative and he fell for it. He was primed for it after mother died. Now there will be a second child and Harry's dug an even deeper hole that he probably can't get himself out of.

When he refused to tell who said the thing about Archie's skin color, adamant about not telling as it would be incredibly damaging, I think it had to be someone very close to him, Dad, William or Gramps.

I think the really sad part is that Harry and William are so far apart now. I bet Harry has some very sad moments when he quietly reflects on how things have turned out.
By not naming the person who made the comment, all of the royals are suspect. Not very fair, IMO. And to be honest, isn't it pretty common to wonder what color hair, eyes, etc. the baby will have? I guess skin tone is off limits, but the question could have been entirely innocent of racism and just based on curiosity. Of course, in this age of perpetual offense over anything and everything, it is being construed as a racist comment. Although there does seem to be some basis for wondering:

The Queen signed her up for Duchess Training after they were married. So, no she didn't lie. She would have met the Queen before marriage and probably didn't know how to curtsy or anything else.

She was bullied for being an American, Commoner, and Bi-Racial. The British Media treated Kate and Meghan differently as seen in the examples between just a couple of headlines.
