The Royals

Ha ha they could probably have said that and Oprah would have just nodded sagely whilst accepting it as fact.
They don't seem to have been challenged on any of their claims from what I can tell and as Ballsy pointed out the grievance about their child not getting a title would have applied whoever married Harry and whatever colour their child was, you would think they'd have known that as it has been the case for over a hundred years.2 -

To be in a position where, from the day you are born people are watching you; where you are told where to go and what to do, who you can marry, where anyone coming into your life is subject to security vetting and public scrutiny. You get criticised for having an opinion and will probably get accused as being a hypocrite or having someone say "what do you know about real life?". You couldn't pay me enough to do it.
Just think of them as high level civil servants / diplomats / ambassadors and the palaces as posh offices with living quarters. Sure, they are guaranteed the job by birth but arguably so are many top civil servants or diplomats with nepotism being so ride.

All on all, yesterday was a good international women's day, by the looks of this thread.1

yep If it was said and it caused such emotional damage why not say who? why protect someone ? its just noise, they've played the race card they've played the woman card and they've played the mental health card.Pross said:I find it odd that the claims made in the interview are being reported as though they are fact when it's just unsubstantiated one sided allegations. Given how the royals very rarely comment on these sorts of things there's unlikely to be a second side any time soon.
Also, were the racist comments made by a senior member of the royal family or royal household? I believe household includes staff (could me wrong but going on what the wife said an she knows much more about that than I do). Obviously if racist comments were made it's unacceptable whoever said them but it just feels like the sort of thing where clever wording can mislead an audience.
They've played the victim all along when in reality they're nothing of the sort. If she's really so fragile that someone may have crushed her by wondering how dark the baby skin would be then she's a complete melt. Its natural to wonder about these things or the sex of the baby or the what it will be like as it grows up.
Even if it were salacious gossip a reasonable person would just say FRO.

This is a story of a bloke, who married a girl, who fell out with the in-laws.
It's an age old story on a different playing field.1 -

One of the more enjoyable aspects of this whole saga is Piers Morgan's daily meltdown on live TV. Can't be long now before ITV finally pull the plug on him..2

Bravo. Don't have a clue who Darren Beresford is, but if he upsets Piers Morgan, then well done.
The git is the typical "can dish it out, but can't take it himself" kind of guy.

A smaller audience without Morgan, undoubtedly. But that doesn't necessarily mean his position is secure. If pressure starts getting put on advertisers, and they start pulling out, then he's expendable.yorkshireraw said:

I saw a great comment on twitter, describing his audience as being like a sponge - and a sponge doesn't care if it soaks up champagne or pi55. If he goes, the 'great British public' will get over it and move on.2 -

It is really hard to find debates on broader cultural topics where the participants are arguing in good faith and from a similar grasp of what is either factual or optimal.
I don't know whether it was always like this and I'm just getting older or whether newsnight discussions between experts were splitting nuances or trying to achieve the same thing via different routes rather than just shouting past each other.
Having said that I do remember a Peter Hitchens discussion on substance abuse and I was quite shocked.0 -

The line between randomers phoning in, and interviewing people who know what they are talking about, has been blurred by the rise of the 'commentator'

Yeah, no matter what the truth of the situation stating someone is lying about having suicidal thoughts without any inside knowledge should be the final nail for him with ITV especially after the Jeremy Kyle thing.imposter2.0 said:One of the more enjoyable aspects of this whole saga is Piers Morgan's daily meltdown on live TV.
