There must be some redeeming qualities to the British monarchy, TV critics love “The Crown” and women keep marrying into it.

Slavery was abolished in 1833 Victoria was crowned in 1837.

Prince Phillip has some black great grand children and two aunts who were partially black. They were descended from Alexander Pushkin.

ETA: I need to explain that, contrary to what it surely seems, I don’t mean to fuss with you. It’s just been brought up a couple of times here and I felt some sort of need to point out that people can change their minds. I hope you didn’t take offense, because I didn’t mean to offend!

I’m more than willing to believe that the royal family is racist but pointing to dead distant relatives being racist isn’t really great evidence. People aren’t responsible for the choices another family member makes. Anderson Cooper and Benedict Cumberbatch’s direct ancestors were major slaveholders. By your logic…

I am very old and, after every pets’ death, I vow “Never another dog. Never,” and I always discover that I can’t live comfortably/happily without a dog, who always gets to live as comfortably/happily as I. Am I as addled as the Queen evidently is? Should it be thrown in my face (or even mentioned) that I thought I…

It’s a bit disingenuous to say that Elizabeth and Phillip are married to “protect their bloodline.” It’s far from the truth. No one wanted them to get married. He wasn’t considered good enough for the future queen of England.

She did not say who it was who made the racist comments about Archie.

I guess everyone just forgets that Harry dressed up like a Nazi, because that doesn’t fit your “narrative” of Meghan Markle as the victim.

I agree with this fully, but to be clear, Meghan did marry a guy who dressed up as a Nazi for Halloween one time. Maybe she SHOULD have googled him first?

Stop giving these people people attention. Folks should have more focus on things that matter rather than some former royal couple and some old peeps in london...

If you’re faulting the Queen for her response, with all due respect, you don’t understand anything about the Royal Family. They. Don’t. Comment. On. Anything. Their policy is always “Say nothing and take the high road.” In fact, I believe this was calculated by Megan and Harry, because they KNEW there would be no…

I’ve experienced two major sources of extreme grief in my life, so this show really hit me. One of them, when I was younger, left me feeling very much like Wanda did at the beginning of the Hex, where you feel so overwhelmed and so broken and in so much pain that all you can do is scream at the top of your lungs and…

I feel like no discussion of grief and television would be complete right now without mentioning Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. Last year we moved my wife’s elderly parents in with us, because they were reaching a point where they couldn’t live alone. My mother-in-law passed in October, in our house with family around…

Honor dictates that you name names if you’re going to make an allegation as incendiary as the one about the conversation about the baby’s skin tone. You don’t just throw that allegation out there and say only that it was a family member. That puts the whole family under a cloud of suspicion and denies the accused…

There is a point I think though where the public criticism does go over the point of any return. When you do a major tv interview calling your family uncaring prisoners who tolerate racism and complain about them cutting you off financially when you left it’s going to take a VERY long time I think for any…

That won’t matter to the press and given how general a lot of it is then it’s hard to avoid her being included even then when she’s at the top of the pyramid.

Does anyone else not give 2 shites about these people ?

Will the suffering of rich people never end? 

I watched that instead of this. It’s hard to watch at times but it’s well done. And yes, he should be in jail.
