In reply to the discussion: Prince Harry Was Right and It's not just a matter of Royal Gossip [View all]brush
(54,564 posts)22. There does seem to be a green-eyed monster element...
residing at Kate and William's palace where many of the negative leaks about Harry and Meghan are said to come from. It's very sad.
Were Harry and Meghan, an attractive and popular couple too, getting too much attention? And the huge elephant in the room question is all of this negativity coming at the couple because Meghan is Black/mixed race?
It's so pathetic when all they had to do embrace them publicly and William and Kate would've greatly multiplied their own popularity with the far-flung remains of the empire, which encompasses millions of mixed race peoples.
What a huge opportunity missed which shows many in the "firm" to be rather small and not too aware of such an obvious way to burnish its image.

if the queen was so hurt, maybe she should have shut that tabloid smearing down?

What did he have to do with the potato famine or anything else that happened before he was born?

Maybe research history better: it was a blight and genocide, there was no famine
