It seems like a lot of people, or at least tabloids, gave Camilla Bowles a lot of shit for not fitting the image of what an ideal woman for royal courtship should be like. I dont think being as white as possible shielded her from any of that condescension and venom.

Pretty much, if she's not ladylike enough then she'll get torn apart.

I wouldn't doubt her color plays a part. I've seen some "mixed blood" comments after this announcement.

It does and it doesn't. It's more of a "we'll use this to attack her too" kinda deal

What tc actually seems to be trying to say is the royals should let her break all the rules and appease her in any way possible as anything less is racsim according to this logic.

I'm not surprised people like you are taking "shes been subjected to racist criticism the moment her engagement was announced" as "they think she should just be able to do what she wants"

Certainly, they would have gone after her no matter her skin color. But, the fact is the tabloids made it about racism when they decided to publish a ton of racist shit.

The whole Meghan and Harry thing is hilarious. It has been for quite some time.

The one thing I feel bad about, though, is people who criticise her (or him) for Meghan being half black. Having said that, there aren't THAT many people in the UK, or in the British media, who complain about it.

yeah, makes sense.

sad, that after all this time that a class system is so heavily prevalent.

do you think, if meghan were a brit, she'd have been more accepted regardless of race?

Depends what kind of Brit, honestly.

You know when Kate wasn't 100% into the royal lifestyle and "shaming" the royal family, I don't recall the press and the rest of the family giving her nearly the same amount of shit.

It's a race thing 100%. If Markle was white this wouldn't be happening. You're forgetting this is the same family that murdered one of their own for leaving the family to spend time saving lives in other countries.

It's fair enough to argue race is a factor IMO, but Americans are missing the mark because all social discourse in America these days is about race.

You know what the no.1 topic is in the UK? Class. And there's no lower class according to the british aristocracy than an American.

Ayyy they're still mad we whooped that ass with basically bubblegum and duct tape

Many Americans like to make everything about race. They are practically obsessed with it to the point of seeing it where the issue does not exist.

Indeed.

The actual reason why a lot of British people don't like her is because she doesn't come across as likeable... she wants taxpayer's money to help renovate her 'cottage', but doesn't want to give anything back... (like simple photos).

She is the polar opposite of Kate... Kate has always come across as likeable, approachable (even though we all know she's not as she's the future queen). Image is everything and Meghan comes across as snobby and a bit bitchy
