villa4europe Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 7 minutes ago, AXD said: A lot of opinions flying around the internet today about the interview. I don't know what the truth is in this story (other than that there are issues in the family), but if they wanted to media to leave them alone, I'm not sure they'll get that in the next few weeks. Imagine if Philip passes in the next few days and Harry comes back to pay his respects... The tabloids will be all over them (even more than usual). seen a lot of that i genuinely believe they do want the media to leave them alone and by that they mean photographers lurking in bushes and being followed everywhere, there's a huge difference between being left alone by the gutter press and doing an interview with oprah we have absolutely **** dreadful media in the UK, they're massive words removed, with proven racial prejudices to it all so i have sympathy for them, of course though calling them for it isn't going to work the royal family can make one of them being a nonce disappear from public minds but they cant do anything about one of them being a different skin colour...whats that say about them and our media? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're now beginning the 'John-Travolta-in-Pulp-Fiction' phase of the saga ('maybe not that reaction, but they had to expect there would be a reaction . . .')

PieFacE Posted March 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2021 Can we just transition the royal family to a council house and forget the whole thing ever existed yet? The whole "institution" is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 Two of the least surprising so called revelations over the last few years must be that the royal family contains peados and racists. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2021 The royals can do whatever they want, just as soon as they stop receiving public money and pay back all that wealth built on receiving public funds and slavery. Until then these f*ckers should be scrutinised to hell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 1 hour ago, AXD said: the interview. I sort of get the feeling this was the end result no matter what the Royal family did. They could have kept their heads down and waited until his grandparents have died. They are not scared of the tabloids and they are feeding them well at the moment. Harry has had a personality transplant as far as I can see. Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 My earlier post shows I'm no fan of the monarchy, however before anyone rushes to judgement around abolishing them there simply must be a response from the royal family to the interview. That being said, I absolutely believe that Meghan has been the victim of racism from the family. Philip, Charles, Andrew, and even Harry have shown time and again what respect they have for anyone who isn't them or filthy rich. Does anyone believe that they care about such things as equality and fairness? It's for the peasants. A real watershed moment is coming for them if they don't address this.

In all seriousness if it's not properly addressed this will have international ramifications. It'll make us look even more racist than whenever Farage gets on TV in America. To their credit, I think the youth of today are much more inclusive and far less racist than the elder generations, and the royals ignoring the interview will create a massive disconnect with the young people of this country.

bickster Posted March 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2021 Herr Madge is only the 12th richest Royal in the world, her son, the Jug-Eared Clown is the 13th richest. Their combined wealth does not elevate them to 11th place Just one for you fact fans out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is all a bit much for them to 'make up' to be honest. And it's not the first time that the Royals have come into the papers for 'questionable behaviour' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
