As for the Royal Drama, let's just start with the premise. How anyone could have imagined that a divorced C-list actress from California would be a good diversity hire for the "Institution" (as Meghan called Britain's royal family) beggars belief.
When the inclusive, globalist love match of the century went off the rails, the wreck was a natural for Jimmy Kimmel or Dr Phil, but Oprah signed them up and is said to be several million dollars richer for having put this drivel on the air. Good for her!
I imagine the ratings for last night's cry-and-tell were as high as Harry in his party mode. It's always fun to watch multimillionaires complain about their "hardships" and all the challenges of life amonst the plebes.
The part the lamestream media have seized on, of course, was Meghan's heavily veiled accusations of racism. Without naming names -- "It would be damaging" -- Meghan alleged that there had been "conversations" concerning the possibility of their child being, errr, of a darker persuasion. Oprah (indignant): Whaaat?!
Said Prince Harry, who unfortunately inherited his mother's brains without her good looks, "This is how it's meant to be. You cant change it. What was different for me was the race element, because now it wasn't just about her, but it is about what she represents." Anyone who can clarify that statement is invited to send a translation to Walt at the usual address.
The usual suspects in Not-so-great Britain and elsewhere are clamouring for an investigation into "racism at Buckingham Palace." Vicky Ford, the Cuckservative government's Minister for Children [Really. I looked it up. Ed.], told the BBC that while she hadn't actually seen the full interview, the allegations of racism were "unacceptable. There is absolutely no place for racism in our society and we all need to work to make sure that doesn’t happen."
Kate Green, a Labour (read: leftist) MP, told Sky TV the comments were "shocking and distressing. I'm sure that the palace will be thinking very carefully about that, and I certainly think people will be wondering what is going to be said. But there's never any excuse, in any circumstances, for racism, and I think it is important that action is taken to investigate what are really shocking allegations."
Let's think about that. Suppose there is a thorough and independent investigation, conducted by (let's say) Baroness Amos ['n' Baron Andy? Ed.] which concludes that, like the vast majority of "humankind", Her Britannic Majesty Queen Elizabeth and her large brood prefer to associate with persons of their own race. What then? Would the Queen be asked, ever so politely, to step down to be replaced by a diversity hire like, say, the Princess Meghan and her besotted ginger-haired spouse?
I venture to say that, beyond this week, That Interview will be little noted nor long remembered. [Clever turn of phrase! Ed.] The only thing I found interesting is that the royal eco-wienies are keeping a flock of "rescue chickens". Really. They have a cute little house called "Archie's Chick Inn". Really. I imagine they'll taste jes' fine fried, with a side of collard greens.
Further reading, added 9/3/21:
"Meghan Markle Inspires Millions Of Young Girls With Message That No Matter How Famous, Rich, And Powerful They Are, They Will Always Be Oppressed", Babylon Bee, 8/3/21. Walt can't resist giving you this snippet: "Oppression is inescapable," said Markle, who is married to a prince and worth approximately $50 million. "If you are a woman-- especially a woman of color, oppression will follow you all the days of your life and you will never really be happy."
