Harry And Meghan To Receive Human Rights Award….

[naomi24]

…for 'their heroic stand against "structural racism" in the monarchy'.

A fellow recipient on this occasion is Ukraine's President Zelensky.

'Heroic'? I don’t think there is an award for lying to Oprah Winfrey, but if there is it's the only one they should be receiving. Coming from a highly prestigious foundation, this certainly leaves a sour taste.

//But, and here's where context is important, perhaps it was a nice curiosity (i.e, with their colouring, the baby's colour is going to be lovely), rather than the default of it being a negative and racist.//

Surely every family wonders about the characteristics an expected child will inherit, will it have the Spencer ginger hair, Charles's taxi ears, etc etc. Every mixed race couple I know have wondered about the colour of their baby.

Naomi - Had Meghan bothered to carry out a little basic research into the institution she was joining, she would know that titles of royalty are enshrined in centuries of protocol, and it was not within the queen's power then, or the King's power now, to withdraw any hereditary title on a whim of peevish racism.

That of course requires the presumption that the Queen then and the king now, harbour such venal attitudes.

Decades of observation of them by the world at large makes it abundantly clear that they do not.

So making up nonsense in a chat show piffle-fest does not suddenly make it so.

Something I noticed a while ago (and it still seems to hold true). Attitudes to H&M seems to depend to an extent on how old you are. Younger family members and the teenage children of friends of mine seem to like the couple , especially Meghan.

I know AB members tend to be older - but have we got anyone here say under 30, who could share their views?

I can give you the view of my children and their friends



They don't give a rats *** about Harry and Meghan.

Cheers Roy - but I was looking for some young people on here to have their say…rather than hearing it second hand.

Good luck with that, but I doubt the combined forces of Inspector Clouseau, Columbo and Ironside couldn't find a young person on here.

Oh damn.

Best pop over to Tik Tok then.

SP, You hold opinions that differ from those of their critics but you’re not young so it can’t be an age thing.

To me, Meghan seems to ooze insincerity, especially in that interview with Oprah. She's not a convincing actress which may be why she wanted a change of career.
