By the time you realize that all you just typed has already been dealt with in my comment, you would understand why I believe you're only quoting me just to impress me with faux knowledge.

I already talked about the bias against her because of her race, I never discounted it, so save your tirade.

And don't talk to me about living or working in the west, the UK has become a particularly dear place to me from my visits.

Cheers.

Ah, so you are one of those lots! The kind that take it as a compliment when "oyinbo man" tells you you speak so well, or that you're so articulate, or that you are one of the good ones. Believe me, they are not compliments. "....to impress me with faux knowledge" Nah, not to impress you but to impress upon you the knowledge that you probably lack of life in the West from all of "your visits". It's a compliment when you tell a five year old he/she is articulate, that he/she speaks so well, but it's not for an adult. Next time you are told that on a "visit", tell that person, so do you; for I thought you were an idiot.

I already talked about the bias against her because of her race, I never discounted it.... So you are mad at her that she refuses to accept to tiptoe about in her own home because of their bias? Because she chose to protect her family especially her child from such biased scrutiny; an expectation of every mother. Or did you think it was going to stop with her? How long was it going to take before the headlines goes from Kate/Meghan to Gorge/Archie comparison? Or do you not know that prince Archie will always be the black royal? How long do you think before we start seeing the "black sheep(um royal)" of the family headlines because the kid ate chalk at school?

I am not trying to join issues with you; I am only trying to let you know that maybe she did all she did to protect her family. And if you don't live in, or have lived in the west, sit down and talk to someone who does and observe on your next visit. See things from a different perspective and gain some knowledge.

Still ceremonial.
The Queen doesny dictate how Canada runs. The land the Queen owns in Canada is also ceremonial. I work for a crown cooperation.

A Canadian act of parliament does not become law until it receives"royal assent" ie the governor general has to sign it on behalf of the queen.
Now, if the Canadian parliament ever decided to do something absolutely off- the- wall insane,the governor general who represents the queen by the way, has the authority to veto it.

The commander in chief of the Canadian armed forces is the governor general on behalf of the queen

Is this still ceremonial to u?

You sat down, typed this nonsense without any single shame. So he did her a favor by marrying her? Is that so? So its a crime to be biracial and divorced? For that she should have 'simmered' down, but she didn't, she didn't act her 'place' as divorced, biracial woman, so she brought all that to herself. God, can men be more irritating.

Please don't throw all men in the same category as this guy, biko. He's behaving like uncle tom and unfortunately, a sizable portion of Nigerian men are uncle toms, when it comes to minority rights in the west. After all, they are probably the descendants of the same men that sold their brothers and sisters from neighboring conquered villages into slavery for mirrors and combs in the very beginning.

During citizenship, we also take a oath to serve the Queen and her descendants but after the oath, you could also immediately renounce that part and say screw the Queen and her descendants infront of the immigration Judge.
We are also more related and have more ties to our American cousins than the British.

Then again, if the queen has what I call a powerful foot soldier in Canada, that shows that the Canadian will welcome Harry and family not the same way America will welcome them or france. Not the same way canada will welcome me or you.

This the point I'm trying to make.
They had soft landing and will not find it hard getting on their feet cos they will be taken care of on behalf of the queen which is also Canadian queen, ceremonial or not.
Do u get where I'm coming from?

This is why I said, I will take them serious when they go to a neutral country to start all over.
As far as I'm concerned, they are still in UK.
Why didn't they jet off to USA?

Trudeau is a friend to Harry. In addition, they moved to Canada since it is the most Liberal country in the world for now and we are not toxic and poisonous like the British. Like I said, we don't care how they chose to live their lives. If Obama was in Power, they could also have moved to the states. They simply moved to where they would feel welcome and not hostility.

Head of the Canadian armed forces is ceremonial
No Canadian will go to war for Britain or the Queen.
Also the governor general and the provinces Lt governors are figure head too. I don't even know the new of Canada's governor general or my provinces Lt. Governor. The governor general was in Nigeria last year. 99.99 percent of Nigerians did not even know she visited. If Trudeau visited naija, even other west African presidents would visit naija to welcome him.
In my province as well, the Premier we elected via vote controls the province not some figure head and funny dressed Lt governor that only shows up during ceremonies. grin

Britain does not involve in the day to day running of affair in Canada but that does not mean they don't have their fangs in Canada.
Politically, if war starts today between Canada any which way,Britain will automatically come to the aid of Canada with ease. E.g., assuming war starts between America and Canada, Britain will stand by Canada.

Also if America and Britain goes to war, Canada will stand by Britain.

Yet both countries are independent.

Canadians are by and large polite and give each other their space. We don’t have a culture of celebrity as the U.S., nor do we have a gutter press that preys on the royals as does Britain.

So, moving to a country like Liberal and multicultural Canada makes a lot of sense. It doesn't take long to figure that out. Lots of liberal minded British folks are moving here too.

Please remember to celebrate Canada Day with us every 1st of july. We became an independent country in 1867 (the Dominion of Canada).

American and Britain are allies. That's a very strong term politically.
The Queen even in Britain is technically a ceremonial head, despite the utmost respect given to the monarchy.

I'm not actually against them moving to Canada.
What I said is that the queen has fangs in Canada so they will have soft landing( if u understand what that means)
That is what started all these.

So, their affairs will still be controlled and aided by the queen through her proxies.

Anyways. Both Harry and Megan have moved on, atleast for the next one year as agreed by the Queen. The best we can do is wish them well.

Harry, Meghan and Achie moved to one of the most expensive and secluded area in Vancouver, and the house they are moved to had a price tag of $36million.

They made a right choice by selecting Canada. No one is really going to disturb them here. Canadians don't care aslong as tax payers are not footing the bill.

They would often visit the UK to check on the rest of the Royal family. Prince Charles Will also "Offer Private Financial Support" to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle; hence, no more public funds which is actually a good thing. Prince Charles already cut Harry a check of £2.5 million for starters.

Some people choose to be oblivious, and they have their own agenda. Meghan is a divorcee and a feminist- an evening newspaper according to NL standards, yet she managed to have the best of the crop- a wealthy, younger Prince. That doesn't fit the narrative of feminists going to Shiloh, or divorced women never being able to remarry. Nay Sir.
They are only allowed to marry older men with wives or equally divorced men or widowed ones.
I see clearly now..

Exactly. Even in the recent Brexit drama, her "powers" actually amounted to zilch. She is told what to do and where to sign.

She is a representational symbol of nationhood; the real power lies with government whom the royals gave almost all their rights to how many years ago to stop themselves from being overthrown like other European countries

Canada belongs to the first Nation aka aboriginal aka real Americans. The ones the British used to refer to as Indians.

I have been told to go back to the jungle I came from in Africa a number of times in the UK but never in Canada, because everyone that is not first Nation is an immigrant or descendant of an immigrants. grin

Here in Canada, we all lead the way.

Not saying Canada is a perfect or model first world country, but atleast we identify and acknowledge faults and problems and try to fix same. But the British, they won't even accept that something is bad and would use words to downplay stuffs.

As per the naija stuff. That is a story for another day cheesy

Britons are the one that condemned Meghan not even mama Charlie and her family.
Mama Charlie has to act now else, the British people will question her or raise an uprising against her.

Her allegiance lies with her people. British people love that woman more than any celestial being and they love the monarch too. So if u feel u are above the monarch, they will give you the red card.

Don’t mind the oversabi. Prince Harry has even hinted about getting away from it all in the past. Before he met Meghan. He’s always been a free spirit and most affected by his mother’s death. I won’t be surprised the idea came from him. But Meghan has to carry the blame for the British press. The royalty don’t even need them, seeing that Kate is giving birth every year. That one wants to ensure she and her descendants hold on to the throne.

So, Harry and Meghan won’t be missed. I wonder why the fake outrage? Who knew what Prince Charles siblings have even been up to? Who cares? Why should they? So why the obsession, fixation and hatred for Meghan?

independent, successful, liberal

that's why cheesy
