Because, obviously, Harry and Meghan's child is the only mixed race child in the world carrying that name. Did they check how many mixed race children are actually named Elizabeth in the UK? I bet there are quite a few and the world is still turning.Generally, I would hope that the BB checks the credibility of their sources but who knows.
She's always so stoic in public, so it's hard for me to imagine what that would look like (though I'd love to see it). It's hard for me to imagine her like the rest of us anyway because of how she always appears in public but I'm sure that's due to the fact that she was and to a degree still is, a woman in a man's job and the time she became Queen.
Angus.... lol. Reminds me of that old SNL skit where it was set in the Civil War South and these two suhthuhn belles were going on and on about how wonderful Colonel Angus is. When she's done with Col. Angus she would just tap him on the head and tell him she's had enough.... LOL. I never thought Angus was a name. Also Col. Angus' first name Enol. Mah how ah luhve Suthuhn accents.... heheAngus is a popular boys name where I live.
Haven’t heard of Agnes yet.
I personally find “Ang” and “Ag” names hard to pronounce even though English is my mother language.
Tiffany is actually an old name, and may even predate Lilian.
Oh joy, the Queen cleared Diana's butler but she can't be bothered to support H&M. If she doesn't want to directly refute the BBC she could simply let it be known that the "palace source" had been fired. Instead she lets H&M be bullied. Sheesh!
Thank you! I'm much better now! ?
The butler was possibly going to jail for theft. That's a lot more serious than people writing sh1t about you on the internet and press.
I'm sorry but this irritates me. In fact many of these posts do. I have no skin in this game. I am NOT an anglophile nor anglophobe. I think the monarchy is unnecessary, but don't have any strong opinions about it either way. I was happy to see Harry settle down. I've rooted for him to pull his life together and was happy that he found someone to marry. So there are no preconceived prejudices against the Markles. What I have noticed over the last couple years with Rachel Megs is not positive. Her behavior at Wimbledon for instance. She was told how to dress and she ignored protocol. Then complained about it. Then more complaints. And more complaints. I understand why many people have the opinion that she is a conniving, manipulative, and toxic person. I see it, but like I said, I really don't G.A.S. about it. But one thing I do understand is the traditions of the royal family. Megs knew it when she entered into it. She decided to just do her own thing, and then whine to others (OPRAH) about her woe be gone lot in life. Puh-lease.
Her name is NOT "the Markles." She's Rachel Meghan Mountbatten-Windsor. It's very microaggressive for people to refer to Harry and Meghan as the "Markles" like Harry is just Meghan's bitch. And her name is not "Megs" either. Again, that's the sort of thing only POC have to deal with -- people not respecting your actual name.
Of COURSE that's the ONLY thing you got out of it. I call her Megs for short because it's just easier when people can never seem to get her name straight and it's Megan, Meagan, Meghan, Meggin, etc. It's not micro-aggressive. And calling them the Markles is also just easier than typing in the Mountbatton-Windsors all the damn time. It's lazy as all hell of me, but whatever. But I think you know this. Instead of addressing the core of my point, you fixate on peripheral and meaningless points to discredit my point of view. You are being just like I made my point acting like a Newsmaxer. In my opinion. I'm not here to fight. But did the royals actually admit to denying poor Megs mental health care? And what is so wrong with wondering what the offspring off a fair skinned ginger and a half-white/half black might look like???? It's the same to me as wondering/asking what people think someone's kids' coloring would be when the parents are blonde/fair and jet-black/easy to tan, like my parents. So stop. I don't want to argue how awfully the royals did or did not treat them. I really don't follow this. Maybe you are an expert Anglophile and have inside information on the royal family. If so, I will defer to you. But if your opinion of poor Megs is what she whines about on Oprah and just take it as the gospel truth, well then, you sound like a Trumper typing away on Newsmax.
Oh, grow the %&×) up about your perceived racial micro-aggressions! POC are hardly the only people who are given nicknames they don't like that they then are saddled with for significant chunks of their lives! I know of at least two white women who were given nicknames they loathed - one was a Mackenzie who wound up being called Kenz or Kenzie by some of her peers in spite of the fact that all of these peers were around her parents frequently and she was ALWAYS called by her full name by both parents; and another was an Elizabeth who wound up being a Buffy from childhood through HS because one of her siblings couldn't pronounce Beth/Bethy correctly, she only successfully changed her nickname to Beth after she moved away for college and introduced herself to her new peer group as Beth rather than Buffy.
So - here is the disconnect for me that I struggle to understand. If the BRF truly are guilty of all the things you state then what role are we to understand the Queen played in this? She is still very much the monarch, not a doddering old woman. She has dedicated her life to her family and the monarchy, which she inherited at the tender age of 27. Are we to believe all of this happened under her nose but she was unaware of it? Harry has stated they had no alternative but to take the course they have. Are we to believe that he did not go to his grandmother at all about these very serious allegations that left them no alternative but to leave? I believe they can name their daughter whatever they want but if he did not go to her then I, at least, wonder how close they truly are.
Harry says he did go to his family with his concerns but was told to basically keep a stiff upper lip and learn to deal with it.
Lame excuses, IMO.
I admit it. But it's really just that besides being a naturally lazy AF person, I'm also on a small laptop and constantly mistype and have to correct. I really like to keep things short. You can call it "lame". I call it "deal with it". At least I don't type in all lowercase letters and never put punctuation in. It could be worse, no?
iMO it is microaggressive - even if you can't remember how her name is spelled - I dont think using a nickname that you made up is appropriate and does sound like you view her negatively
This also IMO displays a lot of micro aggression. Men who take their wife's last name tend to be view negatively by society or manipulated by their wife. You indicate that Meghan is manipulative and your use of Markles, IMO reinforces your belief
I admit, I was fooled
Could have fooled me
Do you have ANYTHING meaningful to contribute regarding M and H? Why don't you focus on that, hmm?Wow, all kinds of good stuff in here today.
