Meh.. I think she’s VERY connected to the Obama’s. Actually, I think she was connected long before Harry. They’re marketing team and security team are Obama throwbacks and Rachel (that’s her real name) owns a business with Oprah.

Harry is not the heir to the throne. He will never be.

True, but to lower your standards that much in one generation for anyone who is in the family circle makes a very big mess. Nothing stops a future Crown Prince from saying Harry got to marry a twice-divorced American gold-digger tart, why can't I?

The British Royal family has been there for 37 generations

I didn't say the British Royal Family (presumably the institution of the Monarchy). I very specifically said the House of Saxe-Coburg. I have no opinion on whether Britain should be a republic or a monarchy. But I do have an opinion on which family should rule if they area monarchy.

They took over the British monarchy in 1901 when the son of Victoria and Albert, Edward VI, was crowned (previously was the House of Hanover). Victoria's mother was a member of that house (Saxe-Coburg) and married her first cousin, Albert who was full blooded. To avoid offending British sensibilities during the Great War, they changed the designation to the House of Windsor. (FYI, prior to the Hanoverians, there were the Stuarts, the Tudors, and the Plantagenets).

I have no apologies at suggesting that the Windsors (Saxe-Coburgs) need to go.

As you say, I have no vote in Brittain, but I have all the say I want because of one of those troubling little God-given rights that you mentioned...freedom of speech.

And when I sit and have a beer with Brits, Aussies, Canadians, Germans, Belgians, Norwegians, Swedes...I also feel free to express my views as strongly as I do on FR. As they do. Speech is pretty cool. BTW, as an FYI, about 30-40% of the Brits I talk to are Republicans (that is, they want to dump the monarchy altogether in favor of a republic).

Then why didn't she get the movie parts she was angling for, or the voice work? Why did Harry's just completed manuscript get rejected?

They are grifters like the Obamas, but she never offered Obama anything worth value before marrying Harry, and their mismanagement of Megxit has been so hamfisted that the two of them are becoming toxic. Obama works (outside of the pure political realm) with people who are smarter (in a woke-academia sense) or who have something to offer (money, prestige).

Like Obama, the Markles are all in it for themselves, and they are not subtle about it. Meghan's second tier role on cable TV's "Suits" and a stint as one of 20+ game show presenters doesn't qualify as prestige.

Well the Queen’s uncle Edward VIII married Wallis Simpson an American divorcee and gold digger.
And he was actually King. And he started “dating “ her when she was still married. Nothing new here.

Mrs. Markle, aka the Duchess of Succotash, is GBR’s 21st Century Wallis Simpson. Her mate, Sparkle Markle, aka the Prince of Dubious Parentage, will remain on the outs with the royal family unless & until he dumps the Haitian cane field worker who snagged him. That is not likely, given the ugly mood in which are the citizenry regarding the situation. Similar to Uncle Andrew, they’ll remain in relative obscurity, likely even after Charles plops down on the throne.

There are still some Plantagenets available if the Brits are tired of their German royalty.

Perhaps Charles will see the “value” of the Royal family once he ascends the throne.

They all need to be rounded up, given the choice of abdicating or giving up their heads. This inbred family needs to free the UK.

Oh yeah, the modern, politically correct elites of Britain could use a touch of Plantagenet rule lol🤣🤣🤣

Comical.

A bloodline who has no actual power other than the power to veto laws from parliament… and that power was last exercised in 1708….

Kind of getting your knickers in a twist that they are somehow capable of destroying the world

Admittedly I am. But they do have tremendous influence. Not only through the media, but within the government.

You and I don't care because we are Constitutional Americans. But then why are there more-or-less constant interviews, articles, and documentaries with about "the Royals?" We don't see anywhere near that amount of coverage on any other royal family in Europe.

If Charles or Wills comes to visit America, guaranteed they will at least get a formal invite to the White House, if not a State Dinner. Would the same courtesy be afforded to Harald, Christina, Hans-Adam, Henri, Willem-Alexander, or Margrethe? I highly doubt it. Did you know who they were without looking it up?

And the House of Windsor still refuses to deal with its metastatic Epstein Problem...

She is a piece of work. Internet sleuths went to work on her pic of holding a child purported to be lilibet. Her teeth and weight changed dramatically in 24 hours.

Don’t know what game she is playing with that child but she is stupid to not realize people would notice the difference.

Andrew and Harry need to be relegated to oblivion. Both are acting like spoiled petulant brats

Btw...Paddington bear is getting a huge boost due to the skit with the Queen. Apparently Disney is pleased

Charles is ruthless enough to deal with it when the Queen dies. Maybe Andrew is trying to get what he can while he can. Probably lobbying for a bigger cut of the last will and testament so he can afford to live

Btw .one of the Twitter sleuths who rarely posts decided to bring attention to the windows in that black and white pic versus Frogmore windows. Made me wonder if it was someone connected to the insiders that is Team Kate.

“The queen made a grave mistake that is the undoing of this monarchy. She never should have allowed Charles to wed his mistress and keep titles. Even though it was after his estranged wife had passed, his affair with Camilla was an adulterous one which never ceased during his marriage. My word. Those two forged ahead with their affair during the engagement and after the wedding.”

charles did NOT continue his affair after he and Diana got married until their marriage was irretrievably on the rocks. Diana by the way, was a sicko in the head. She threw herself down the stairs when pregnant, was a delicate cutter (made little slices with a sharp blade on her arms (look up the medical info on this mental illness) had affairs of her own, and was basically mental unstable, had a lousy childhood, and Charles who was forced into marrying a “virgin” didn’t know all of this about Diana’s hidden bags of worms until after they were well into their marriage. Get your facts right before you blame the disintegration of that marriage all on Charles. Diana was basically a very manipulative woman who was sick in the head.

Have your crazy wife recant her Oprah interview, especially the part about us being racist and have her beg for forgiveness. After that, get back to me Harry.
