That's why we have lawyers.
For the time being. In time they will be all dead.
As you like it.

However I'm watching Piers on the morning ITV show and he's theorising that it could have been Charles or William who might have expressed concern, and that Harry ought to have named the person because now the whole family is to some extent painted with the same brush.
On the second point, the fact is that any royal title was withheld because of skin colour is untrue, whatever Meghan may feel. The rules of the Palace prohibit Archie being a Prince. Any charge of racism on this count is untrue.

It's just the narrative they want. The rules of succession and titles have been established for a very long time.
I mean, crying racism works for everyone else, why not them? I'm sure someone made the comment, but I seriously doubt it was in the context of 'well, they'd better not be dark'.

Compared to what her Uncle did this is nothing.

But actually
Instead, the candid interview, which lasted three hours and 20 minutes (but was cut down to an hour and 25 minutes, according to Oprah), took place at what Oprah described as a friend's house. "I'm not going to disclose the friend, because I don't want people now going to find the friend and the friend's house," Oprah said, jokingly adding, "But I have friends!"

I find what Harry and Meghan are doing very distasteful, however I also believe that the British tabloid press did go after Meghan in an absolutely disgusting way, probably because she's an American, but also in all likelihood because she's half black. It also isn't really surprising that Harry has no time for the tabloid assholes, considering what happened to his mother.
They way the British press treat people is truly dreadful. The solution is not to do this, of course. They're making themselves look ridiculous.
I'd also just like to point out that Piers Morgan is a cunt, in case anybody was wondering how I felt about him.

Oh good; thanks for clearing that up, Phibes.

Meh, the whole trying to look like Wallis Simpson thing is really off putting and makes her look petty.

Sure I am. It annoyed me off, and that’s what she was going for. Oh, there might have been a few particular targets she was shooting for, but I’m sure they got it.
I wonder if Andrew got it?

Too right.
Also, if you don't like the British royals, get your own royalty.
Oh, sorry, too late. You've got some. Good luck.
I must admit, I'm very glad I won't have to listen to the British media obsessing about this bullshit for 26 hours a day for the next month.
