My recollection is that the obsession with the Royals (outside of KC) here in the US started with Diana and the royal wedding to Charles. I could be wrong, maybe it has been going on longer, Wobbie could tell us about whether Americans had an obsession with Queen Victoria or King George III. I think the whole fairy tale story of a commoner becoming a princess captured the public's imagination. And the Diana obsession has carried over to her 2 sons and their marriages/families.
Princess Diana was not a comoner.
Well she wasn't of royal lineage.
She was in the British hierarchy/nobility and was pretty much groomed to be princess.
Naive to think the same wouldn't be thought or even not be stopped from uttered in a high percentage of "normal (white) folks" homes. I don't see this being some unique thing because they are the Royal family.
Saw that Harry has said, via Oprah, he wants people to know it was not his grandfather or grandmother who said it.
You are free to start a thread on “normal white households and racism”. I assume this includes “YOU”.
Why does he need to start a thread on that? Why not ask what he meant by “a high percentage” before accusing him of being racist and part of that group?
Because the thread is about the cast off royals....
The thread title says it’s about the interview with Oprah. And saying that he believes more white people feel the same way as the Royal institution as discussed in the interview than what you probably think not only isn’t related to this thread about said interview, but also makes him racist? I have to disagree on both accounts. I also disagree with SC, I don’t think a high percentage of white people feel that way. But that doesn’t make him racist.
Lol. I know Canada is far more racist than Canadians want to admit ... after all the leftist elected a racist pm who is currently running Canada and who had 3 photos surface of him in blackface....
just ask our 1st nations people’s if they are treated very differently ... you know the real owners of North America...

For someone who said go start a new thread for comparing the views described in the interview which is the thread title to the average person, you sure took some weird turns in this one. Who brought up Canada? Or the left, or the PM, or the first nations? This is a very odd post, especially since its s reply to asking why does he need to start a new thread for discussing the interview and what was racist about what he said.
a woman I work with is OBSESSED with the royal family, like buys all the tacky tea sets and shit, goes to London on vacations, etc. and she's my age (mid 40's) and married. mind you, she's a self professed 'crazy cat lady' too so who knows.
of course Pies Morgan had a meltdown on live tv about this. That guy has hated Megan Markle since the beginning.
I'm watching this right now following your post about it. I do agree with Morgan that they should put a name on whoever supposedly worried about the color of the child's skin. By not doing it, it leaves it open that it could be anybody.

I think they had to walk a fine line in this. Sure, that's pretty explosive. they needed to show that they weren't being the unreasonable/selfish ones here, without totally ruining the family.

LOL it is well known at work, as I'm sure the same for many of us, as the "pearl jam guy" or the "headstones guy".
I just find the obsession with the royals to be on another level of tacky and kind of creepy.

I am pretty sure it was several people.
I am pretty sure that the one saying it, hadn't already talked about it with several people before it reached Harry/Megan.
And it's not like it's just "outing a racist person" -- it seems to be "outing someone in your family". I doubt Piers "I'm a friend of Trump" Morgan or anyone in here would sit on television and do that, if they were in the same situation. Even if you were to be able to say as much as she said - "there are racist POS in my husbands family"

Is the british Royal Family a big thing in the US?
A big thing? I don't think so. A group of British celebrities that everyone in the U.S. is familiar with would be more accurate.
I know Diana and Charles were tabloid fodder in the 90's. And women here like to watch their royal weddings. If anything, they're known here more as as a strange (and to some, interesting) family than they people of importance. They're more Kardashian than Biden is what I'm trying to say.
There are throngs of Royals followers. They are a big deal, hell they made a trading card set of the Prince William and Kate wedding.

With Megan and Harry as the Dave Abbruzzese of the royal family.
I thought it was an awesome interview and genuinely feel bad for her.
i honestly feel bad for anyone born into that type of situation. you're basically a prisoner. sure, you're wealthy, or rather, you live in wealth, but you can't do what you want, you can't be your own person. I applaud Harry for giving that the big middle finger.

I think its all a bit naff. Royals aren't my favourite , neither is this new gen of outing everything and anything to shock. I agree S.C that many people of my dads generation would ask the same question as wrong as it may be. And piers Morgan both annoys the fuck out of me and interests me in equal measure

Rob what could you possibly find interesting about that turd, lol?!?
He supports the same team as me. And sometimes he fights a cause better than anyone. Like to our politicians. He is ruthless when the public need a voice. Hahah bit serious for me 🤣
