Who made the 'too brown' comment?

Post Reply New Topic

Who do you think asked if Archie (Prince Harry's kid) was going to be 'too brown' or not?

I'm thinking either Charles or William.

If it's Charles then I think both the Dodi and/or James Hewitt rumours might be true. Maybe he doesn't give a crap how he treats Harry cos Harry isn't really his and maybe Diana was pregnant with Dodi's baby and they couldn't handle it because the baby would be mixed race. Maybe the Harry not being his is why they denied Archie the title.

Charles isn't taking Harry's calls which makes me strongly suspect it's him.

If it's William that's disgusting, can't even be explained by 'another time' excuses and surely he knew black people at Uni but it'd explain the rift between the two brothers.

It's not the queen or Prince Philip.

If it's Andrew then just say it - hardly gonna ruin his reputation.

If it's anyone else, honestly who gives a crap? Just say 'it wasn't a major royal' or even 'it wasn't a major royal but we're a bit upset cos it was Meghan's friend Eugenie'. Actually we know it wasn't Eugenie because the comments said 'he' so that rules out the women.

I think that comment was in very bad taste.

I think the papers here suggest Charles was the culprit since its his grandchild and he's a relic/dinosaur like his father from a bygone era so is most likely to utter this type of crap in Harry's ear.

I'd like to know what was actually said. If they were worried the kid would be "too brown" and that tied in with whether or not he'd be a prince it's terrible but the news said he wasn't going to be a prince yet anyway (being a great-grandchild) and wondering what colour skin a baby will have is different that being concerned about it. Although perhaps if I'd experienced racism in the past I'd see both as equally bad.

(I didn't watch the interview, just had trouble not being bombarded by news about it.)

I'm curious as to whether it will turn out to have been Prince George or Princess Charlotte...

The queen is the only one to decide titles.

But she allowed the marriage (yes I know that sounds terribly old fashioned to those of us who aren't royal...) so she doesn't have a problem with it.

So I think it's two separate things.

Worrying and wondering are two separate things but in my generation it'd be known not to say the latter for fear that you might be interpreted as the former. That's why I'm thinking Charles.

When my nephew was born, my stepdad asked. In the same tone of 'is it a boy or a girl'. And was lambasted for asking. He was just curious. People that age are 'from a different time' and this would be especially true with royals.
