Princess Michael of Kent has apologised after wearing a blackamoor brooch to the Queens Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace, attended by Prince Harrys fiancee Meghan Markle, who is of mixed race by virtue of her white father and African American mother.
The royal, who is married to the Queens cousin, was photographed wearing the brooch depicting a black figure on her coat as she arrived for the annual gathering on Wednesday. She was later criticised online for wearing racist jewellery.

There is only one proper reply to the charge of “racist”:
Shove it up your .........
This is as bad as “racist trees” talked about on Tucker.
Had she worn a brooch with white figure, she would be racist because it was white rather than person of color.
An aside: Once Her Majesty said that Princess Michael seems “too grand for us”.

Why didn’t Harry go whole hog and also go for someone handicapped, say, in a wheelchair..?
This is just the beginning, you know.
Like I said on the other thread. It is a gorgeous brooch.

Princess Michael is descended from more royalty than any of the Windsors.
The media has gone bat-sh— crazy. Wearing a cross/crucifix or star of David is racist to them.
It’s less about what she wore than why she wore it. Given we’re talking about Princess Michael...
Tactical retreat. She’ll be back titillating with more outrageous behavior.
Royals don’t become Royals because they’re shrinking violets.
Grab some popcorn and watch the show. This is going to be nonstop tabloid fun for the next 20 years, or however long Princess Michael lasts.
Yes, those people in wheelchairs are the rock-bottom worst, right?
I have a bunch of jade pieces I brought home from Korea for the girls in my family. Many depict Asian figures. Are they racist?
I wonder if she was also wearing black shoes - black shoes representing blacks being trod upon.
I would never marry a member of the royal family for the same reason I would never buy a puppy at a pet store, they are both genetically rotten.
They’re not saying what this is really about:
this particular princess has a relative who was in the SS and so they’re constantly trying to trip her up on this kind of thing.
They just don’t quite feel right writing a story about her that doesn’t fabricate some kind of racial faux pas.
So you’re saying the other “groups” are “bad”?
The point was to hit all the PC preferred groups. Being handicapped definitely fits in with being PC “inclusive”.
Right; if it looks “white”, they complain that you’re preferring the white race.
If it looks black (or some other non-white), they complain you are demeaning the other races.
Run Harry! Run like the wind!
Wait....what do I care?
Honest and reasonable people just roll their eyes when the SJW screams racism. People are getting sick of the far left and self righteousness..
