There are no standards, even in the royal family. Standards in general are passé. We have tolerance and diversity to replace them. Name me ANY institution in the West that has not lowered its standards in the past 50 years. It has been necessary to be inclusive for shitbags. Education, Christian churches, business, the military recruit requirements etc etc. Government to the max!!! We have a Congressman from Georgia who thought Guam would tilt if too many people stood on one shore. That is a FACT! Today, stupidity, immortality and depravity take center court.

[Nifster]

Exactly

[huldah1776]

” specific wealthy people who have their names written into the law that they are exempted.

Like the deep sea oil drillers of Armageddon who saved the planet?

something needs to be overhauled, eh?

[RedMonqey]

Short of digging her up there's no convincing proof of her alleged African roots.

Hints yes but no proof the media is offering as the first "African Queen' She certainly didn't rule as an "Daughter of Africa" and made no claims as such during her reign

By this standard I could ("rightfully")claim heir to the Scottish Throne(My relatives descend from the Robert The Bruce line)

But I'm not packing my bags anytime soon...

"this supposed Moorish connection gave rise to a claim that the royal family of England had African ancestry via the 15-generation descent of Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of George III of the United Kingdom, from Madragana, giving the Queen what the proponent described as the appearance of a 'mulatto'.[9] However, it is far from clear that Madragana's family was of negroid origin, nor is it likely that were she African, Madragana's negligible contribution to Charlotte's genetic makeup would have caused the Queen alone, among all of Madgarana's descendants at this distant time to display distinctive African features."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madragana Wikipedia

Relying upon the opinions a painter to intrepid "negoid " features in a person is a insult to science, much less as genetic proof. This strays into "Ancient Alien" territory where opinion and speculation is pass off as proof and evidence.

So this is much to do about nothing. Any "African blood" was well watered down as to have no meaning at all.

America's so called one drop rule is ridiculously stretched to make Queen Charlotte "African"

Mis Meghan and her children, if they are so blessed, would be the first African nobility of the British Empire. No speculation involved.

And be subject to an expatriation tax, and continued taxation on her US earnings.

[GreenLanternCorps]

No, the Letters Patent creating the Dukedom of Sussex are for Prince Harry. The title of Duchess of Sussex is a courtesy title of the wife of a Duke it is not in and of itself a title of nobility.

The honorific Her Royal Highness is granted to any wife of the son or grandson of the Sovereign under Letters Patent issued by King George V and King George VI. It is also not a title of nobility.

Under UK law only peerages (Baronies/Lord of Parliament, Viscountcies, Earldoms, Marquessates, and Dukedoms) are titles of nobility and only the title holder is noble.

She won’t have US earnings

[Albion Wilde]

Whoa. Scratch a fairy tale, find a wicked witch beneath the glitter.

I suspect when it all settles down, Megyn will have to renounce her American Citizenship just to avoid being overtaxed.

And if the marriage breaks up, she'll feel like a woman without a country. They certainly staked a lot on this union.

I recall in the early days of the British Invasion how the Brit pop stars were constantly groaning about their oppressive tax system, so changing her citizenship might not help all that much unless things have changed. That was the basis of the Beatles' song, Taxman: "Now my advice for those who die / Declare the pennies on your eyes..."

[Albion Wilde]

the blood of his heirs won’t make any difference, barring a catastrophe in which William and his children all die at once.

William needs to stop flying in the same airplane with his wife and children. The royals even have a rule against it, but he does it anyway. They should at least fly the nanny with them and split into two groups.

That they had a bunch of Chicago ganstas singing “stand by me” should be the clue of how the communist gold digging fix is in.

Uh, those gospel singers are all British.

[Albion Wilde]

What is the problem. She files married/seperately. She does not work. She has no income. All the income is from Harry. No tax burder there.

Didn't read the article, then? As it explains, the residence he provides, jewelry, spending money, anything the IRS can deem "marital property" -- all taxable.

[Albion Wilde]

Charles married a commoner twice

Lady Diana was a member of the British aristocracy as the daughter of an Earl, and had more blood ties to past English royalty than does Charles. Kate Middleton, for all the common status of her self-made, wealthy parents, also has some royal bloodlines. Even the loathesome Camilla has some royal ancestry, including an ancestor who was the mistress of a past king, iirc Victoria's son Albert. So they are a little bit inbred, even though their ties to the Saxe-Coburg and Battenburg dynasties (and Prince Phillip's Danish and Greek royal heritage) are often resented.

[miss marmelstein]

She was a commoner. That is indisputable no matter how much she was a member of the aristocracy.

[Albion Wilde]

She is not the first biracial. Queen Sophie Charlotte was

Fascinating. I knew of her before, but as the article pointed out, the details of her heritage were downplayed, so it has never struck me before just how fraught this situation was, since she was the queen of King George III, the monarch of the American colonies before the American Revolution. It's eerie how this angle must have played into any discussions in the palace about slavery, in the colonies as well as in Britain.

It's also of note that William and Kate gave their daughter her name, Charlotte. They both majored in history and are not strangers to this topic.

[Albion Wilde]

Reading your link again, I find it eerie that Queen Charlotte, the first biracial queen, was buried in St. George’s Chapel — where Harry and Meghan’s wedding took place. Wonder if this was a factor in their selection?

[Flaming Conservative]

Queen Charlotte looks more like a Scotch Irish, to me, red hair, stubby nose and all.

[Albion Wilde]

An earlier post upthread disputes this claim of biracial heritage. I personally have no dog in this fight. Race means little. Religion is the important thing.

[Albion Wilde]

Some people see things in black and white; others see shades of gray. There are man-made rules and policies about titles; and then there are the God-given, natural bloodlines of the titled, which I believed is the main topic under discussion.

[miss marmelstein]

Your original post was taken directly from Closer Magazine. That’s not exactly Burke’s Peerage. It is what it is; Diana was a commoner although a member of the aristocracy. That is how she came to the attention of the royal family to begin with. A commoner does not mean that she or any of the other women were “common.” Merely that they were/are not members of the royal family. Once she married Charles, she became a member of the royal family.
