Meghan is not black. She is very slightly mixed with black and is much more white than she is black. White people do not reserve the right to determine that a person is black black simply because the they have a little black admixture even when it is overwhelmingly evident that they look white.

Look at Meghan, does she look like the typical African? Or African American? Even African Americans who are mostly only about 75% black look much more African and black than Meghan. Stop calling Meghan black she is not.

The language you used here is exactly the language that racists use to justify their warped opinions. I dont know why Nigerians are more racist to themselves than anybody outside smh

Her mother is clearly black. She is half black. That is not a "little admixture".

She hasnt stopped being black just because she doesnt suit your parochial idea of what a "black" person looks like. You dont have her DNA test results, do you?

Stop trying to erase her blackness to prove a point.

But that union wouldn't last. I am not God but that is what it is!

You talk nonsense

MarianaTrench:
You and your siblings are Nigerians first and foremost irrespective of where you were born and bred.

The earlier you accept that fact the better!

I did not tell you my mixture, did I?

Well, I can claim 3 countries: Ghanaian, Nigerian or Austrian, and most recently Canadian by naturalization.

You mean you watched the video and your first sentence is that he has to say what he has to say.

You really could not see someone fighting to hold back his emotions.

Even after he said he expected to still be able to represent the Queen and still be associated with the military, but unfortunately it was not be possible, obviously because Queen Lizzy has basically ostracized them.

His own words, 'I am deeply saddened' ...and you are still trying to explain what exactly?

Nothing affects me by you being happy. Just called you out on your show of faux concern.
If you are happy for someone who admits he is sad.. Lol . Then it just means you have no empathy.

May God never let us or our loved ones be with women who will cut us off from family and be happy about it.

I understand your point clearly and quiet appreciate your insight on this matter and you really did a great job explaining the whole scenerio. As for the person you're responding to, you see, perhaps you aren't a ń igerian or you didn't grow up there. That's how nonsensical we are. We lack decorum when it comes to public discusssion, especially in the Social Media space. I also understand what he/she is trying to say but the obvious fact is he lacks the power of comprehension, so that'll normally make him happy for someone who is saddened by the turn of event. What an irony? It's like saying I'm "I'm happy for you for the loss of your father"

crackkhaus:
While some of you are busy forming happy on their behalf, the Prince says the opposite and expressed how he truly feels about the whole situation.

How you or anyone can be happy for someone who is deeply saddened, is beyond all human comprehension.

Your opinion.

My grouse, is the ancestor part. The monarchy, is not and can never be as old as her ancestors!

The prince himself, has always been against convention, is it any wonder, he married against conventions to someone who disrupts the status quo?

RunThins:
I think you totally missed the point! Or you are one of those "victim of 400 years of conditioning. The man has programmed my conditioning. Even my conditioning has been conditioned.”(Chameleon Street by Wendell B. Harris). I would like to believe it's the former! All that is is nothing but nuance racism, everyone who's lived, studied or worked in the west have experienced it one way or the other. Go ask around in the fortune 500 corporate world, a Caucasian is smart and confidence, while a black man is uppity and headstrong for having the same qualities. Re-read those headlines and what you see are two people doing the same thing, but one is said to be "smart and confidence" and the other "arrogant and disrespectful". The reason for that is nothing but racism; those headlines above show nothing but the racism of the British (Caucasians in general) people.

Thank you so much. People dont seem to understand how subtle and understated British racism really is.

They keep arguing that all must be well just because they havent come out and screamed "I HATE HER BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK" when everybody knows that they would never do that. They will just keep making you feel uncomfortable and inferior until you burst.

The word you used here is "nuanced", which is what they keep refusing to understand!

British people are 10 times worse than Americans because they will go underground and be messing you up. This is why almost every country where they intervened under the guise of "helping" is now in total chaos.

Please keep educating them.

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?

baby124:
British are extremely racist and they set out to destroy that marriage before it started. Even William and his crayfish looking wife did not help matters. Then jealous staff who think they are better than Meghan always peddling useless gossip. I am happy for Harry and Meghan that they are forging their own path.

Absolute no one is ever truly happy cutting ties with their family, especially a Brit with a strong family tradition.
For an American, maybe, because of their liberal ways, but the British are a very traditional and conservative people, with a strict sense of family value.

Prince Harry decided it was for the best. For him and his family. I don’t think it is anybody’s business. He is not the first by the way! A prince abdicated the throne for love and even his divorcee wife did not face this level of hatred.

Harry is not needed for the throne. He is free to live anywhere in the world. Did he say he cut ties with his family? He’s only moving to another country! What right does the Royal family and the British have over where he chooses to live? They even collected his allowances, thinking that would make him change his mind. But he damned them all. That should tell you that this is all Harry’s idea. He is even hustling jobs for his wife in the corporate world.

They still can't get over the fact that a non-caucasian made her way into the top Royal house in Europe.
The idea was to frustrate her till she gets depressed or call it quits, so the Royal family kept quiet while she was being bullied. Unfortunately for them, the prince is heads over heels in love.

Surely you must realize that when people don't like you, it really won't matter if you're doing nothing wrong, they would still find a way to make you look bad.

The bias against Meghan was watered by none other but herself. You can see one of the articles you posted called her 'dictatorial', they may not be far from the truth.

I followed the whole ruckus leading up to their wedding in 2018 up until the wedding itself. You should not take my word for it though, you could make some findings on your own regarding just how much she tried to break almost every protocol regarding how the wedding should go.
A lot of things were changed/altered just to accommodate her preferences - from the flower choices, to the aisle leading up to the alter that was made wider because it's what she wanted, etc.. There was a lot more which I can't even recall off the top of my head.

Now no one is saying she couldn't have creative control over her own wedding, but when you marry into a monarchy that has a certain way of doing things in keeping with age-long traditions as old as her own ancestors, then she probably should have simmered down a little. She got what she wanted most of the time because the monarchy were happy enough to make Diana's little boy happy, but she took it too far and got used to it.
After the wedding, she kept trying to get them to do things her way and most of the time she would get it, but guess what, the British people only resented her for it because she was now effectually implying that their ways of doing things was not good enough for her, her own way was better...it wasn't just an emotional bride trying to make her wedding day perfect anymore, this was a woman who had no respect for the Monarchy and its ways. She confirmed what they already suspected and gave oxygen and water to the bias already working against her. And to make it worse, she was not even that big a celebrity in Hollywood in the first place.

This kind of resentment will obviously make them troll her at every given opportunity...no one holds a grudge more than the British.

If say, a single never divorced well brought-up Beyoncé (still black and American) was the one who married into the royal family, she may even get a softer landing than Meghan. If a Beyoncé DIL wanted the Queen MIL to dance single ladies inside Buckingham Palace, she may have gotten away with it, just because she is a Beyoncé. Get my point?

Meghan already had everything working against her from the start - previous failed marriage, dysfunctional family set-up, being biracial, and an American actress (not even an A-list, which may have been a plus). The least she could have done to warm her way into the hearts and minds of the British people, is to at least appear that she gave a shit about the way things are done.

I'm NOT sorry to type this, but I will because it is what it is:
Meghan did not do Windsor a favor by marrying Harry, Windsor in fact did her a favor by allowing her become a part of their family and she should have acted accordingly and not take a mile when given an inch.

It's what it is.

If all you've written was the case then the couple decision to path ways with the monarchy should be a win win. Why all the bitterness.

They have used everything to subtly threaten him, the guy didn’t budge. To save face he did a tear jerking goodbye video and the Uncle Tom on the front page is acting like he lives in Buckingham palace. Where all he does is listen to gossip and wash the queens panties

Yes! A whole king! Threw away the throne for love. If he didn’t who will know Queen Elizabeth and her descendants? They only got to that throne by a stroke of luck and that king deciding to pursue love with a DIVORCEE over the throne. Women are something though

And I have a feeling that a woman like Meghan will never and I repeat never stay long in the marriage with Harry, give it maximum of five years you will hear the news that she quit.

Sometimes you just have to "be yourself no matter what they say"

Meghan can't live her life trying to fit in other people's fantasy. Life is too short.

Pray,what do you know about her except what the Racist British press has been feeding you?

Look,the White Man is a racist and will not pass up an opportunity to belittle a non white,especially one they see as an Usurper..

AwkaetitiBabe:
William married Kate and no pim, she knows d rules, she knows what's expected of her. Harry married an American with their individualistic feministic ego.. Why couldn't she bend low like Kate?

Anyways, I hope she doesn't divorce d guy anytime soon cos divorce no dey like anything to Americans... Bleep up and u gone.. No b this one wey family go tell you to go beg husband wey punch you for throat dey vomit blood for 9ja.

Kate has to bend down because she is eyeing the thrown . And williams has to be a goody boy cos he is closer to the thrown . So in the end ,it all has to do with higher stakes .


And mind you , even if they divorce, it wont be the first nor the last, "bloody Mary's father divorced her mum ,that one was even the king and queen even Diana did ,guess what? Heaven did not fall.


I am appalled that you lots are acting like typical "village witches and wizards" putting your ears to the ground to hear the next bad news .

instead of this long bitter comment which you only gathered from what you were fed by the media, because you and i know you have never been to the palace,why not rejoice after all she is leaving the palace for you and your kind. Or are you salty as well cos the prince is leaving with her? Would you have slept better if you heard she was leaving the palace alone without her child and husband?

For those reasons it brings me great sadness that it has come to this..."

Does the fact that he is "saddened" by what has happened mean that he is not happy with the decision he has made?

How can somebody just pluck two words "deeply saddened" and randomly paste here and you swallowed it

Very intelligent Nigerian woman. She kept on point and kept calling them out. How can anyone see what Meghan has suffered in the press and call it unconscious bias. That was brutal and wicked racism. Extreme bullying. Nothing she did was ever ever going to be good enough. I am all about keeping a family unit but not at the detriment of the peace and sanity of some members. While others keep quiet or quietly promote the bad treatment.

Is this queen not due to leave the world for the younger generation to live, she had her time, she should let others have theirs..

Theyre even the first to move to Australia or France when theyre old enough
