Ginge and his wench must be frothing!
My admiration for the comely Duchess of Cambridge rose to new heights with the sight of her lining up with the England rugby union team, even emulating me in a former life as being a notable number 2.
Didn't she look comfortable with the ball! I have seen international players not catching as cleanly as when she was hoist heavenwards as part of the press call announcing her appointment as patron of the RFU, and also the RFL. To be fair I don't think she weighs as much as Bill Beaumont.
But good lad her.

Poor old Liz has had to do some serious job redistribution, the ones taking up Harry and Gold digger jobs was enough but now Randy Andy has been stripped of everything the work load is going to get very busy, add in the Queen cant do so much and her Husband has gone leaving his titles needing new owners, better the grandkids doing some child labour..
"Gold digger"?

I was amazed that she didn't take off that very expensive and huge diamond ring.
She is a fantastic girl and a wonderful roll model, I don’t think the Queen need worry about William and Kate. Loved what she did yesterday with the Rugby.
Is this Kate????
I'm a fan, she's a great-looking, seemingly witty woman and has a class about her that will make her worthy of the title 'queen', I think.

Maybe or not but his Bro definitely did.
I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
If she’s in the starting 15 tomorrow I suspect ‘Auntie’ Anne might have words before the game, she would be a pleasure to watch though, definitely one player I would be paying attention too at the game.
Megan failed the country by not being a virgin English rose , our right wing press couldn't handle a woman so "unconventional".

There can be no doubt that Megan has suffered from racism, and being mixed race more than likely from both directions. But her and Harry's hypocrisy have done them no favours.

So, some beat the racism drum for poor Meghan by slagging off Kate, who seems to have offended no one.
Some kind of hypocrisy there.
If it helps people, she's got traveller descendants...

Surely, yes. Strangely enough people nowadays get to decide which designation is acceptable to them, and which isn’t.
In this case I refer you to the contemporary usage of the word in Wikipedia, as used by the beeb itself.
In my case it was used to highlight the contrast because -in my understanding- you misused descendants instead of ancestors, thus addressing Kate’s children.

I didn’t criticise either of them I just pointed out the difference in how a self made woman is perceived to a woman who appears to have lived off her parents wealth. One is referred to as a gold digging wench the other isn’t.
I am not aware of anyone making reference to Kates ethnic background but many have made reference to Megs.

True.
I think my point, with that correction, still stands.
Some undoubtedly have made derogatory remarks based on MM's ancestry, but most dislike her on the strength of her apparent behaviour.
I'm not a fan, although I can't pretend to know what's gone on in her life, but she was a minor part actress in a TV show before marrying Prince William.
Self-made millionaire? Well, possibly, but mostly on the strength of courting controversy recently it would seem, rather than being a wealthy woman who married a Prince a la Grace Kelly.
This is why MM is unpopular, not because she is black, white, short, tall or a Martian.
Being branded as racist for criticising her is akin to being accused of anti-Semitism for criticising the Israeli government, but that happens all the time, too.

I think we mostly agree. There are many reasons to like or dislike anyone. In everyday life it doesn’t really matter.
However when you become suddenly* a celebrity, it becomes a completely different ball game. It used to be played by proxy, through a gutter press and its army of paparazzi; it is not played by everyone on social media. And the algorithms allow you to find likeminded people that reinforce your perception (or preconceptions).
So the haters army will be made up of many different divisions: there are those who won’t like her for the reasons you mentioned, those who won’t because she is American (and divorced, there is a precedent in the Royal family) and yes, more than a few will dislike her because she is not white.
In total it makes for a lot of people, therefore a lot of posts, tweets, insta, etc. and I have no doubt it is very difficult to endure, even if you’re thick skinned.
And playing the race card is probably a valid defence because it may stop some from continuing (those for who skin colour was not an issue) to avoid being tainted by the same brush.
* she was relatively well known in the US, although not part of Hollywood A-listers, and totally unknown here.
