Because The British Royal Family

[lucklucky]

The declaration from White House make it clear this is a struggle for power against UK, the objective seems clear  to destroy the monarchy.  After this you can expect much more attacks from US left government.

Much tougher to keep those neurons refreshed. Your options were;

- visit Latin America,

- join the RCC clergy,

- join the Illuminati.

Harry and Meghan accuse Palace of continuing to leak stories as they reveal conversations with Charles and William were 'not productive'

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spoken to Gayle King about the Royal Family's response to their Oprah Winfrey allegations

The struggle will continue until the Royal Family conforms to Neo-Marxist world view and pay it dues.

The payment will be permanent every year.

"What now? Where is your smile
Now I am the raven you are the mouse
Too late to give up your pride to join my side

I am what you created
Flesh and bones assembled with anger
Are you satisfied of the monster that you brought to life?

You can't prevent me from growing
I can, I will ruin the living
All men will see their end coming
And I will be the last one standing"

Buckingham Palace looking to hire diversity advisor

Quote

Queen Elizabeth is addressing issues of racism by the British royal family by hiring someone who can advise the monarchy

The Queen is realizing there may need to be someone advising the British royal family on race after the allegations that were at the center of the Oprah Winfrey interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry earlier this month, according to multiple reports.

Per The Daily Mail, Buckingham Palace is expected to hire a “diversity czar” to right the floundering royal ship. Queen Elizabeth is said to have realized that more needs to be done after Meghan alleged that the royals had been unwelcoming and racist in their dealings with her, backed up by her husband Harry, the queen’s grandson.

Because there is not black homey on top being carried by whitey boys, of course!

Stick a fork in 'em:  they're done.

And monarchs from Alfred on down are causing minor earthquakes throughout the land.

Bring back the House of Wessex!

It's a joke.  The photo is either a fake or, more likely, a customary honour being given to a visiting VIP in an African country.  Out of context, it just has unfortunate implications in the First World.

There are similar pictures of Madge being carried by Tuvalans back in the 80s after a visit.

I know what you think of Snopes, and the article I am linking below has all the hallmarks of an author desperately sidestepping the entire purpose of a proper debunking (which should be debunking the story at it appeared in TMZ, not the pictures), but the images are authentic.

There were very similar conveyances used in Regency Bath and London, ideal for getting about without getting your shoes covered in horseshit. In Tokyo they still have hand drawn carts for carrying members of the public.

Yes, its very amusing and I giggled. I think anyone searching for a wider understanding of the problem by using that is really  stretching.

Oh look, a notorious racist!

A bunch of them are in Kyoto as well. Although covid took a toll on tourism so.. They're called jinrikisha.

[Ivanhoe]

On The Register, due to his new job in Silicon Valley, Harry has been referred to as the Count of Montecito.

Stewart you miss the point. They're not actually calling such conveyances racist. They're just pointing out that the stupid American 2nd rate actress your prince married is so wrapped up in her calling things racist that if she was honest, she'd be calling herself racist for the above photos.

[Sarcasm] Of course Stevens was a racist:  he was an American white and a significant part of the power structure that maintained phallocentric, white patriarchy in an era of slavery and oppression.  Observe his half-hearted efforts to promote racial equality while still funding repressive socio-economic hierarchies and monocultural dominance.  Look at how he took advantage of his housekeeper! [/sarcasm]

And he was played by Tommy Lee Jones in Lincoln, a Notorious Democrat, and as Democrats were Southern Slaveowners, he was clearly twice a RACIST!

I thought that TMZ were much more likely to be using the image to claim that the Royals' statement about not being racist was false, making William appear to be a hypocrite.

I'm fairly sure you're correct, especially as the TMZ article explicitly says so.
