What powers could stop her from saying something?

lastexitlondon

Well I guess the same powers that stopped her before. There  is a long history  of them shutting people up.

The Royal machine  has clearly always been racist . Philip has on many occasions  been racist in public. I'm glad they are calling it out make no mistake

Exactly.  Our history  is as racist as it gets.  Steeling countries and enslaving people.

To be fair, the royals don’t like anyone that isn’t Royal, and probably deep down hate themselves.

lastexitlondon

Its a sect

But what can they do? Stop supporting them financially and remove their titles? They already dropped that on their own. Once they separated themselves from the royal family and were on their own financially, there really is nothing they could do to keep them from talking. We're all free to talk about complain about the royal family. None of it would be TV worthy unless you are from it. Short of some North Korean style assassination they can't stop them from talking to the media.

Diana seemed nice.  The boys and wives seem okay too.  Thats the extent of my opinions on some family 4000 miles away that isn’t mine.

Piers Morgan  looks to have left his job over this. He did look a complete  idiot. Watch him get owned by the weather  guy

Pitiful. What a thin skinned little person he is.

I havent seen the whole thing yet, just about 10 minutes of clips. But the thing I can't figure out is how in the world would she not know what she was getting into? Did she not google anything? Did she not ask Harry about life as a royal? Did Harry not tell her what it was like, and what it did to het mom? Did she just come out of a cave she had lived in for 20 years? If I was even considering dating a royal, let alone marrying one, i'd do a lot of research and ask a lot of questions. None of this should have been a surprise to me.
That doesn't mean she deserves it or I dont feel sorry if its true, just doesn't make sense that she wouldn't know what she was walking into.

I haven't watched any of it, but it would be downright odd if she a) didn't ask him and/or b) he didn't mention it. I would actually imagine it came up ad nauseum. But it probably just ended up much much worse than she/they thought it would. 

it's like becoming famous in an instant. people tell you things, you can be as prepared as you wish, but everyone says it's 1000x more intense than anything anyone can explain to you.

She mentions that she did not google or research much of anything.

The way the royals are treated / covered by the press is no secret, so naivety is definitely a weak excuse... but expecting Harry's family to accept their mixed race children wasn't asking too much. 

Good for them to walk away from that bullshit.

I saw that clip too, that's just hard for me to believe. You're marrying into a royal family and you don't google or research anything about it? Doesn't seem realistic, people facebook their first dates, and they're just normal people, not royalty.

I didn't realize you had to "curtsey" to the Queen when you are seeing her as Grandma.  That I found believable from her.  I had no idea...

I'm not saying I don't believe any of it. I saw that part too. And how she said she didn't know she was going to have to curtsey until on her way there in the car and Harry tried to teach her right there or something like that. But that whole circumstance, aside from having to curtsey, strikes me as very odd too. You mean they didnt have a conversation like this:
"We're going to meet my grandma tomorrow."
"You mean the Queen?"
"Yes, that one."
"Cool. Anything I need to know before we go?"

I mean, really? I believe a lot of what she said, but some of it just seems too odd.

They went over that too but it was that day.  Meghan said " but it's your grandma?" to which he replied "It's the Queen of England"
