    Archie is multi-ethnic. Archie Griffin, Archie Moore, Archie Clark, Archie Alexander. Then there's Archie Manning.

    I guess you could make it more compatible with royalty by calling him Archibald.

    Oh, I simply find the spectacle of a man with wealth and privilege being brought to ruin because he's ruled by the little head between his legs rather than the big one on his shoulders ripe entertainment, that's all.

    I believe that he's just wanting to live his life on his own terms.

    Harry has made it very clear that his decision to leave the UK was based not wanting to subject his family to the same negative press interference his mother had to endure.
    Negative press which began when he chose to marry a divorced American of mixed race.
    The tabloid press in the UK is toxic and I don't blame him for wanting to get away from it. After all it was the same toxic press that was at least partially responsible for the death of his mother.
    Unfortunately I don't think he's going to find America any less toxic as shown by the numerous posters attacking his wife in this thread and others.
    Support for the nuclear family seems conditional from the very people who claim to support it.

    Odd that you should make so many posts about a subject you claim not to care about.
    Methinks thou dost protest too much...
    You do provide a perfect example of the toxicity the couple have had to endure though.

    Whether America is toxic or not, they shouldn't have come here. A Commonwealth country makes more sense. Apparently we disagree in Meghan's culpability in all this, which is fine, but I very much would prefer that she and Harry be the UK's problem and not ours.

    I agree, I think that's why they chose Canada first.
    However, according to Harry, at around the time their security was withdrawn the Daily Mail printed their address in Toronto which left them feeling vulnerable. They were then offered free accommodation and protection in California so they took it. Their subsequent decision to buy their own place in Beverly Hills is probably based on Meghan wanting to pursue her acting career at some point.
    If I were Harry I'd have chosen New Zealand.

    I doubt any of them are actually racist. These are very worldly people, well travelled, sophisticated, and not completely stupid.

    No, I just found your comment extremely ignorant.
    Harry named his son Archie in honour of his commanding officer Major Tom Archer-Burton, known to pals as Archie.

    We all know she was heading to LA by way of Canada, to ease Harry into it. So freaking obvious.

    And yes, NZ would have been a FAR better choice.

    Shame. He did once (and still does, just) have the charm and looks to snaffle a much better quality female. If he was intent on exploiting a black woman to raise his own profile, he could easily have found a dignified and regal African noblewoman. One accustomed to the demands and limitations placed upon royalty.

    Having a wife who is so narcissistic and dysfunctional that she'll air the extended family's dirty laundry in public.

    So odd that Wills and Kate don't endure this mysterious relentless press nastiness. Nor Charles, subsequent to marrying his long time side hustle. Gee whiz, I wonder why the attention seeking twice divorced minor tv celebrity daughter of a dysfunctional family, managed to attract criticism? It MUST have been her ultra light brown skin, because she's so ****ing perfect otherwise :roll:

    Why would you think he was ''intent on exploiting a black woman to raise his own profile''.
    He hardly needs to have his profile raised. Meghan was only really known to fans of Suits. Most people outside America didn't have a clue who she was.
    Maybe he just fell in love with Meghan and her skin colour played no part in his decision to marry her.

    I have no idea, I simply suggested the possibility.

    Harry strikes me as just the type of ingratiating upper class white Progressive would do something like that, to try put a 'street cred' sheen on himself.

    If you are going to launch a personal attack you should try to make sure you know what you are talking about first.
    At least learn to count.

    Progressive marries progressive, hardly shocking.
    Race baiting right wing press obsessed by skin colour, even less shocking.

    I have only seen the freebie small bites on TV but I have read the entire transcript....every word. I conclude that the only thing they wanted to achieve out of it was to encourage public sympathy for themselves, put schit of Harry's Family, and perhaps it was even an attempt to extort the Palace. Nah. Stuff her, and stuff Harry until he gets the courage to grab his balls back and remember who he is. He has led a life of privilege, all paid for by anybody other than himself, and now he is tossing sand in faces. Fuq both of them. It is there in the interview. Both said that if they had been given greater support from the Palace, they'd still be there. I don't believe that for one second.

    Meghan even played the suicide card in the interview.

    You tell me what they thought they would gain from that interview. They did not have to do it. They chose to do it. Other than for the reasons I have posted......why?

    Vindication? Nah....they will never get that.

    Not his Grandmother, and not his Grandfather. 'Onya Harry you piss-weak eunuch....let's leave all the rest of the Royal Family under that dark racist cloud. Mate, you are stupid in so many ways. One day, I hope you get your balls back.
