She thought she could be a real princess when she met Prince Charming in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Lol I take no offense at calling us yanks obnoxious...we won that right from the brits centuries ago and refuse to cow-tow to anyone...my point was she internalized everything as racism and I agree it was snobbery mixed with royal rank...

The alleged racism was also nothing to do with the Queen or Prince Philip.

In terms of what has been alleged, they suggest someone inquired as to how dark the baby would be, which given the fact that Markle isn't even black (at best she looks tanned) and Harry is a pale ginger wouldn't be very dark at all.

They also alleged that Archie would not be given a royal title due to racism, which once again is nonsense.

Archie is white for a start and secondly as has already been pointed out titles are not given to great grandchildren, indeed most of the Queen's grand children don't have titles.

Princess Anne's children Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips don't have titles, whilst Prince Edwards children merely have reduced titles in relation to Viscount and Lady.

There are plans to reform the 'Royals', and to only allow immediate family members who are working royals to hold titles, something which seems very sensible.

As for the security, if Harry and Meghan want to pay for security, then Britain will provide it, however why should hard working British taxpayers pay for armed British police to fly to California to protect none working former Royals, who according to recent media reports are now worth over £100 million ($140 million USD).

It also should be noted that British police have no legal powers in the US, and the Armed Royalty Security would not be able to carry guns on guard duties in the US. Foreign Armed close protection officers are only allowed to carry guns on agreed visits by world leaders and royalty and not as some type of permanent guarding duty, and this includes the US Secret Service overseas.

In relation to hiring armed private US security why should Britain pay for it in relation to former non-working royals.

The fact that these two were playing the racism card to Oprah Winfrey who is worth $2.7 billion USD and is a neighbour in California beggars belief.

Poor Meghan, poor Harry and poor Oprah, having to deal with all those hardships in life.

Do they not realise how patronising there comments seem to ordinary people, who now by and large dislike them and want them stripped of their titles according to recent polls.

The narcissism, entitlement and privilege that these two have displayed is stomach churning.

Well researched and well spoken.
Thanks for sharing.
