This article doesn't mention what she said.

Actually, it's a common attitude over there. I've been communicating with a few British civil servants and watching their press for some time.

Most of them are embracing socialism and social progressivism while participating in the resurging European positive regard for empire. They want a return to empire, and they want to lead it.

Resurrected neo-NAZI canards abound over there now.

Anti-Semitism and racism run hand in hand. It would seem that the euros need to think a bit about where they are headed.

That was a totally uncalled for comment. If she was unhappy with the noise, she should have asked that they move her to another table.

Am I alone in wondering why didn't the Brits send these inbred twits to the guillotine?

Charming. And she's here to attend her daughter's graduation from that communist indoctrination center known as Brown.

I'm just so sad I wasn't sitting there in that restaurant to watch the dingbat British princess yell that at the loud rich black Americans. It would have just been such wonderful NYC theater.

The Post didn't make it clear if this event happened before, after or during the time that the guy who was stabbed in the gut upstairs stumbled into the cafe.

And all this in a beautiful restaurant with outdoor tables on a beautiful day.

It's a great city.

Some people are way too sensitive. One time in England a little old lady struck up a conversation with me in a restaurant. When she realized I was a yank she said "Oh you're from the colonies." I thought it was weird but laughed and shrugged it off. Clearly it's a bit offensive for people from "the land of the free" to be labeled colonials but it seems to be a phrase the older Brits still use. I don't think this was racial. Cut our Brit allies some slack...even the goofy royals.

But as she left, she circled the offending commoners, leaned toward Callaway, pumped her fist and said, "You need to go back to the colonies!"

Marchetto and other witnesses said Young marched up to the princess' table and demanded, "What did you mean by that, 'back to the colonies?' " "

"I did not say 'back to the colonies," Princess Michael retorted. "I said 'you should remember the colonies.' Back in the days of the colonies, there were rules that were very good. "

"You think about it," she told Young. "Just think about it." "

""What she said has connotations to when black people were slaves..."

I think some people have overlooked this little fact. Telling them to go back the days of slavery is unquestionably a racial slur. I don't care how you spin it.

Hello, Princess: THESE ARE THE COLONIES!

Apart from the boorishness of her behavior, which was evidently rivaled by the objects of her derision, she was intellectually right, much of Africa was better off under BRITISH colonial rule.

Hey, I'm proud to be from the former colony. I like being an American, and am grateful that I was born here.

Too bad the people in the restaurant didn't give her the
" Seig Heil" in return. Wonder how she would have reacted to THAT?
I guess pompous Nazi superiority can be inherited after all.

What if someone told me to go back to the colonies or hell or wherever? I could care less and I would just ignore that person. Much worse has been said to me and it didn't even bother me.
