Finally, a little talk on racism, and how it hurts all
people, no matter your social standing or status in the world.
At one of the [too] many celebrations and viewings of Queen
In A Box, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle held hands while leaving Westminster
Hall, unlike King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, William and Kate
Middleton, and some people went off:
“They’re part of the procession. Is it too much to expect
them to walk in their line? even the horse could stay in their position for 20+
minutes walk. yet meghan [and] harry couldn’t keep the formation at least until
they reach the door?”
Another argued that Markle had “no class,” writing:
“I see Meghan still couldn’t manage the whole service
without holding on to Harry.”
Oddly enough, though, Harry and Meghan weren’t the only ones
holding hands in the procession. Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, and
her husband, Mike, were also holding on to each other as they left Westminster
and there was nary a word about their PDA.
My Thought: One of these things is not like the other and
that’s why vile people spew their venom.

Yes, that's a perfect example of how unfairly the British press treats Meghan Markle. It's pure racism.
ReplyDeleteIt's just blatant racism no matter how they spin it.
DeleteDid I ever tell you about the time Chaz, then a POW, broke his arm and then insisted that his valet hold his penis when he went to urinate? And of course the poor unfortunate valet also gets to put Chaz's toothpaste on his toothbrush; did he wash his hands between the two operations?
ReplyDeleteAs for Meghan and Harry; leave them alone to be happy together.
I put nothing past Chuck, after seeing him pitch a hissy because there was a pen-and-ink set on the desk that he wanted moved. Petulant child.
DeleteI agree about Harry and Meghan.
I have no doubt that much of the hostility toward Meghan Markle is really about race. Just like much of the hostility toward the Obamas in the USA.
ReplyDeleteI used to like Kirstie Alley, back in the day. Proof positive why it's better not to know too much about the celebrities whose work you enjoy!
Surely not THAT many people are getting leg-lengthening surgery. It must cost a fortune, for one thing. (I was going to say "an arm and a leg," but...)
True, Steve, Black people in the WHITE House!!! A Black Princess????
DeleteLove the joke.
Charles will destroy the monarchy. Kirsti is... so far out of touch with the real world. Leonardo has also gotten rather... large. And I saw that about Harry and Meghan, that's why they'll probably be on the next plane back to the States the moment after the Queen is interred.
ReplyDeleteHarry and Meghan are far better off on this side of the pond.
Delete"Queen In a Box"! Bobulah, you absolutely slay me!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it is considered classier to be King Tampon rather than Black Meghan, huh? Honestly!
I think I would've hugged Kimmy instead. More cushion to sink into.
I was gonna say "Betty in a Box" but didn't want to appear disrespectful.
DeleteI wouldn't hug Kimmy with a full body condom on.
Also chortled at 'Queen in a Box'
ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
I mean, c'mon, that Box has been everywhere in the last week.
DeleteSIDENOTE: Taking Consuelo to the vet last week in a carrier in the back of the car, I said to Carlos: "This is kinda like driving the Queen in a Box around England!"
xoxo
I think you’re absolutely right about the reaction to Harry and Meghan.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because I see a very affectionate couple, and a wife who wants to be there for her husband as he mourns this loss.
DeleteCAN'T STAND that old bag Camilla Parker Bowles....and mark my words King Charles is going to be an absolute prick. And for some reason and I can't put a finger on it, I don't trust Kate. With the Queens death...for me, it's the end of the taste, decorum, and reign of the monarchy.
ReplyDeleteSomeone obviously used a wide-angle lens to get that picture of Kristie Alley!
NoW..... you understand my love of ANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The royal family has lost whatever luster it once had.
DeleteYes, Anna totally won me over this week!
I'm with you about Fag Ash Lil; as for Little Princess Kate; she was sent to stalk Prince Willie by her mother when Kate and Willy were students at St Andrews. Mummy would find out where Willie was going and then send Kate to tag along (true story).
DeleteWhat a week, right? I gave Chuck a pass because he'd just lost his Mother, but only because I know what I went through when my Mama (also named Elizabeth and born the same year) died. But, then I ain't king, nor have I been in training for the gig since childhood. I agree with Maddie, he's gonna be a "right prick" and CPB is somehow going to shine! Don't get me started on KK. I try to live a KK free life. xoxo
ReplyDeleteCamilla will always be the Rottweiler to me.
DeleteI know little of the Kardastrophes except what I read and that's more than enough.
xoxo
With Markel and the UK people / press / monarchy there is no winning. never could. never will. even if she did everything right, but yes racism is a big part of it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Kirsty - psychiatry is not believable, but she could be in Star Trek, because Xenu travels by spaceship, so it's TOTALLY plausible.
Well, for Markle she did the ONE wrong thing: born bi-racial and falling in love with a royal.
DeletePerhaps we could shoot Kirstie off in a rocket if we had one with enough thrust?
I remember having a big crush on Kirstie when she first appeared on "Cheers" but it looks like it wouldn't have worked out because she is just a little too cuckoo for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why they still bother with fountain pens. Surely a ballpoint is acceptable?
ReplyDeleteQueen in a Box... still laughing. I think Meghan and Harry are the classiest of the remnants of the Royals, but of coarse a Racist could never admit to that fact and probably resents that the Couple get better Press Internationally and we all wish them well where ever they reside. The Royals felt the same about Diana, they couldn't get past how Beloved she was and how relatable. Kirstie and the Kardashians, desperate for Press of any kind. Madge and Leo... way too Old for each other, bwahahaha...
