Meghan and Harry

I said women in the black community, I am not black, I couldn’t care less if she straightens it, I do wish she would have some cut off though.

As for sisterhood v bitchyhood, no difference to giving opinions on anyone in the public eye surely ,

Bridgeit. I await you posting on sisterhood when ever any woman who puts themselves in the public eye is criticised

Jeepers! She's criticised for straightening her hair?

I had an afro perm in the seventies. Was I denying roots? Sorry about the pun.

Leaving this now.

Yes Bridgeit, I am old enough to know better, I am also old enough to be able to state what is my own opinion, gained after many years and experiences.

I was referring to the uniform at the war memorial.
Please Jalima don't let us fall out, I value your opinion and enjoy your posts.
I have just changed my H to put him to bed which involves changing his " nappy" and dressing him again, Meghan will never face doing that or spoon feeding him after a stroke.
No self pitying just ststing facts.

Are ladies who have perms trying to deny their culture roots!

What happened ‘to sisterhood’ more like ’bitchyhood’
Come on ladies , think how you would feel if your children were being discussed in this manner. It’s actually very disappointing especially from coming from those of us who are old enough to know better.

Yes women do straighten their hair, the criticism comes for her not keeping her hair as it was before,’ the pride in her mixed race ‘ she spoke so much about

oh dear.

other women straighten their hair
Other women perm their hair to make it curly

And Harry looked as if he had been transported from Ruritania.
Why? He's wearing a suit and tie.

And Harry looked as if he had been transported from Ruritania. In this day and age such awards should be banned to the last but two centuries.

I haven’t noticed Kate wearing a lot of pale pink.

I watched the opening of the .invictus games. She looked drab , doesn’t suit her . I don’t believe she has received racist abuse by mail, either email or snail mail. Only family and very close friends can make contact with them. For snail mail there are codes included on the envelope, no code then opened in their mail room.

There has been criticism of her by black women after all she has said about her pride in her heritage she has her hair straightened.

Yes newly married and now pregnant but that hand holding is irritating . I think she is deliberately going against the rest of the family , gets attention .

I didnt get the catch of the century with all that goes with it.
I thought I had!
But found out he had less money than me.

Perhaps you are right Jalima but I don't think I did..

I told you I wouldn't be popular, but then I seldom am.
Just rather jaundiced.

Pale pink suits little girls.

I don't understand why people object to her wearing dark colours. They suit her and she looks great.

Kate wears a lot of pale pink which doesn't do her any favours at all. She also looks better in darker colours IMO. Her outfit for Eugenie's wedding was spot on.

I sometimes think the royal style advisors are colour blind.

Personally I think she looks like the cat that has swallowed the cream.
Do you think, though, that we all looked like that when we were in the first 'glow' of married life - or the first glow of a wanted pregnancy annsixty?

It does wear off after a bit

I think she is very proud of her mother and her heritage.
I sincerely hope she is not concerned enough to act on it and I am not her closest fan but that is too much.

There is a theory bouncing around the internet that since she received racist abuse in the mail, she chooses to wear very dark clothing in order for her skin to appear lighter.

I think this theory is almost certainly mince, but how sad that this is considered a possibility.

Once again she has been in black or very dark colours for visits today.
I think this is to be her "signature" look.
Personally I think she looks like the cat that has swallowed the cream.
I know that will make me very, very unpopular, just my opinion.

Carry on imagining me as tall, slim and elegant everyone

Perhaps they will meet local artist Walangari Karntawarra B.A., B.Ed. who lives in Bondi
I wonder if they will go on one of his Bondi Aboriginal Walking Tours.

No we call people born in Wales - Welsh

Rufus, haven’t noticed any Aborigines on the beaches
Annie; You don't get them in Wales. I thought you called them "Druids"
Wait for the Solstice!

I'm quite a bit shorter than Meghan!
Jalima; Do you mean height - wise or bank - balance-wise? Or both?
How would you go against Victoria?
I've always imagined you to be tall, slim and elegant (thanks to dry Riesling), and I was always told that flattery will get me everywhere, but that must be an old wive's tale as it's never worked for me, yet!
