    You are more than smart enough, apparently, to realise racism can and is more than a written or verbal jibe.

    Work it out for yourself.

    So it’s purely conjecture and interpretation then?

    Why is there widespread dislike for her? Genuinely interested if there is actually something she's said or done that warrants it?

    The right-wing press seem more offended at them deciding to take a step back from their positions and emigrate to Canada than they were about Prince Andrew...

    Yeah, racists are hiding behind sleekit articles like the shadow dwelling rats that they are.

    Anyone that reads the headlines side by side about Kate and Meghan, as most folk have, that doesn’t conclude that there’s an undercurrent of some form of bias is for the watching. From that point it’s not difficult to ascertain what the crux of their problem is.

    She comes across as a bit of a *, in my opinion, which is not unique to an actress/celebrity. Don’t think she’s particularly likeable.
    They didn’t previously dislike Meghan, which is what is interesting.

    Regardless, for a lot of them it will be a snobbery thing where they dislike the idea of an American actress marrying into the Royal Family. She’s more ‘common’, for example, than even Kate Middleton.

    Is this from something she said though?

    I've genuinely never heard her speak or given an opinion on something...or anything really.

    I keep seeing people saying she's annoying without actually saying why. She's like any other Royal, just stands silently waving and doing photo ops.

    The way she has allegedly treated her family and friends doesn't make her all that likeable. Has a ruthless reputation it seems.

    I agree that there could be a class thing at play too. She isn't "posh enough" and has came here and upset all the Royal Da's. I also think there is a clear jealousy streak oozing out of that creepy obsessed Piers Morgan who clearly fancies her.

    Also there is this view she has changed Harry. Bit like how Victoria Beckham got absolute pelters as her relationship with David progressed.

    There is an argument for racism in all this, but I don't think it's a major piece of the puzzle.

    I’m hearing on the grapevine that she ate her desert with a teaspoon. :77:

    Listening to Harry speak I've found myself not absolutely hating him, which is weird for me as I've always hated the idea of the Royal family as long as I remember, but I wish they'd just get the * to Canada now, bored of all this pish. The media absolutely have it in for the lassie though, no question. Whether it's racism or class I don't know.

    Don't know what I've enjoyed more, these two strike a serious vicious blow on the racist sectarian institution.

    Or Piers Morgans running off his programme like a fat balding baby after getting called out by the weatherman.

    Hope this ends both of them.
