Odds are good:
All of them.
Doesn’t really matter which one actually made the offensive comment in question…
I really thought it was that ancient bigot Philip cruelly spouting off again. Despite the denials I might take those odds.
A related article. The first graf is [chef’s kiss].
“all of them” should not be forgotten.
But it sounds like the cringe-y “joke” your “I’m-not-really-a-racist” uncle would make at a holiday gathering.
I’ll put a fiver on Charles.
If you say so.
As a Black woman in the US, I think most or all of the royal family is likely to be bigoted against Black people in general, and against Ms Markle, specifically.
That’s my opinion.
I’d make a bet but I’m too focussed on the Royal-themed game show “WHAT’S MY PARASITE??!”
Oddly missing from the list is Princess Michael of Kent, whose indifferent racist nonsense is documented. I’d put a tenner on her.
Y’know, as unattractive as most of the royal family is, they have a helluva lot of nerve worrying that Meghan and Harry’s baby would “taint” their shallow gene pool.
“odds: +150 to +1500”. Any explanation, like unto a five year old, how those work? (those aren’t percentage odds, i don’t think) So if i put down a crisp pound note (with Her Royal Maj’s image ironically upon it) and wager it for the Queen ‘erself being the racist (at “+1200” ) and that proves to be the case (somehow), i’ll get back in winnings…? [pull o’ forelock]
If I was the betting type I’d be putting my life savings on it being her.
“She wasn’t even born with hemophilia, webbed toes and crossed eyes! How could she be a true royal?!”
Nothing, because we haven’t used pound notes in decades.
Seriously though, I don’t know what’s going on with those numbers
As someone who is old enough to be around when Charles married Diana, I am amazed that Harry wound up becoming the first royal to embrace enlightenment; especially after the Nazi Halloween costume fracas.
Good name for a band, maybe hyphenated would work too…
I think that his time in Afghanistan changed him, surprisingly for the better.
I’m tired of people talking about these royals. Frankly i don’t care, but it makes for juicy gossip and headlines so i get it.
