Hmmmm.
Ok delete if need be.

No I do not think everything thing , a muffin, a car, etc. is a racist thing message.

Bump up. I?ll cut and paste the article later if some else would please do it sooner, thanks. I cannot cut n paste on this tablet.

Yes, article about Princess Micheal Pushy Woman and her pin.
She is living at KP paid for by QE. QE does not have to do that. Maybe QE should not. When one has grace and favor, one needs to act accordingly.

Strange. For some odd reason, my thread did not move up.
For some odd reason, my comments from today keep merging with mine from yesterday. It is not as if I posted right behind myself the same time and posts merge.
I am not trying to be controversial.
I posted yesterday.
Today, the DM wrote up about that.
Knowing Princess Pushy Micheals reputation, yeah, it was a ding.
Instead of this horrible creature being thankful her sons wife, an actress, will be ok after an awful car accident, Princess Micheal does this.
Makes you say, hmmmmm.....I wonder.
I suspect she will have a BRF spokesman release a so sorry, meant nothing offensive plea, pitiful forgive me statement today or tomorrow.
Princess Michael of Kent wears 'racist' Blackamoor brooch | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5204907/Princess-Michael-Kent-wears-racist-Blackamoor-brooch.html)
QuotePrincess Michael of Kent found herself under fire after she wore a ?blackamoor? brooch to the Queen?s Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace, attended by Prince Harry?s mixed race fianc?e Meghan Markle.
The royal, who is married to the Queen?s cousin, Prince Michael, could clearly be seen wearing the jewellery on her coat as she drove through the gates on Wednesday.
She was not sat at the same table as Miss Markle, 36, who was attending the event for the first time, but would have been introduced to her at the intimate, private gathering.
The royal bride-to-be, whose former lighting director father, Thomas Markle is white, and mother, Doria Ragland, is black, has often spoken about the racism she experienced both as a child and as a grown woman.
I have never understood the attitude of Superiority, after all at the end of the day we are all just human beings.

The woman's always been racially insensitive and her remarks about dyeing her hair and pretending to be African etc are absolutely awful. I'm not sure that the blackamoor brooch (a rather controversial thing to wear in today's climate anyway, whether it is supposed to represent St Balthazar, one of the Magi, or not) was a deliberate insult to Meghan though. Prss Michael's one of those people who IMO are just thoughtless about others. She probably just pinned the brooch on as she has thousands of times before without a care in the world.
She pinned that brooch high on her coat so it could be seen. It did not go with the earrings she was wearing either. I think she did it on purpose & thought she was making a statement to the crowds. I will be interested to see if she gets an invitation to the wedding. :gaah:
It seems like a move those ignorant haughty uppers do. Quite deliberate. Stay strong and rise above it.

QuoteHer Royal Highness?s spokesperson said that the Princess is very sorry, and added that she has worn the brooch many times in the past without controversy.
It is understood that the brooch will now be ?retired? to avoid a repeat of the situation in future.
Meghan was meeting the extended family for the first time & she knew what she was doing. The Brooch should have been retired years ago & certainly when they announced their engagement. :xmas4:
She is just hoping that she doesn't become the outcast that she should be. :snowflake:

I wondered how long it would be before the old bat realised her error, due to public protests, and apologised. She probably bought the thing in the 1970s when it was quite OK.
It seems she has form. How disappointing. Someone comes to the family the first time and that is the message you send to them? Meghan will be nervous and wary as it is. This is the last thing she needs. Not cool :no:

what "message"?
Wearing that broach was like "I am a racist and proud of it" to a woman of mixed descent. It was at best a thoughtless oversight but given the history of Princess Michael (scandal in NY restaurant and Nazi father), it could have been even deliberate.
I doubt it. I hardly think she is to blame for her father's opinions....
Fair point... but she must have been socialized to some level by supremacist thinking. In any case she is definitely to blame for her "go back to the colonies" comment in NY where she was grown up.
I can't remember the details but I think that this "New York restaurant" story may not be `100% accurate.
and you do know that Pss Michael was brought up by her mother and knew little of her father, until she was an adult herself?
Interesting new info for me but I still think she could have done better than that broach. Any one with cultural awareness today would realize the kind of optics it was sending plastering it on her shoulder in that way.
she was born at the end of WWII, she's not a young woman. She probably didn't think anything of the brooch...
She is racist & wore that brooch up high to make a point. :thumbsdown:
I agree with Kritter that she knew exactly what she was doing. Pin the brooch high enough to be seen send an apology out via a spokesman. Sorry amabel she may have been born shortly before the war ended but she is enlightened enough to know better. As for her father I don't buy that story either, she really didn't know until she was an adult the apple didn't fall far from the tree and I expect nothing less from the daughter of a Nazi.
That's very interesting. So all Nazis children are closet Nazis.. and I suppose all Communist's children are Communists...
^Either a Nazi racist or she has become senile. Which would be more acceptable for you? :king:

78% of people say Princess Michael was wrong to wear blackamoor brooch ? Royal Central (http://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/otherroyals/77-of-people-say-princess-michael-was-wrong-to-wear-blackamoor-brooch-93807)
QuoteA poll conducted by Royal Central reveals that 78% of people think Princess Michael of Kent was wrong to wear a blackamoor brooch to The Queen?s Christmas dinner at Buckingham Palace.
In total, 1,305 people responded to the poll which asked whether Princess Michael was in the wrong to wear the brooch, especially considering it was the first time she would meet Meghan Markle.
British Royal Apologizes After Wearing Offensive Jewelry In Front Of Meghan Markle (https://www.yahoo.com/news/british-royal-apologizes-wearing-offensive-233755855.html)
She definitely did that on purpose :notamused:
^ Course she did. The fact she goes round calling herself Princess Michael of Kent goes to prove what an old snob she is.
i understand her brooch was/is a representation of St. Balthazar which makes sense she wearing that at a Christmas lunch
The British Royal Family?s Gift of Unmethodical Madness | Love, Lola ? Musings about life, love, beauty & royalty (http://lovelolaheart.com/?p=4268)
QuoteIf Princess Michael didn?t have past incidents like yelling ?go back to the colonies? at black diners at a restaurant in New York City and saying she couldn?t possibly be racist because she thinks black people are ?adorable?, then it would be easier to cut her some slack. Because really, who wears a racist brooch to meet a biracial woman? Who would even own a racist brooch? Jewelry should never be used for evil. Someone needs to take away that woman?s tiaras while she thinks about what she?s done.
Even if you give Princess Michael the benefit of the doubt, there is basically only one scenario that would explain why she would ?accidentally? wear a racist brooch and that?s if she was thinking to herself, ?I hope Meghan knows I?m not the racist my own words prove me to be, I have lots of black friends like that girl who brought me my coat that one time and? and? that blackamoor brooch. I know, I?ll wear the brooch to make her feel at home, maybe she?s descended from the slave it was modeled after. God, I?m such a good person. I should be Queen.?
Princess Michael has since pseudo-apologized through a representative who noted that it was ?a gift and has been worn many times before.? I did a quick Google search and couldn?t find evidence of past racist brooch outings (which doesn?t mean it hasn?t been worn before, it just means I gave up before finding the photos) but if it?s indeed had multiple wearings then why didn?t someone mention to Princess Michael that she might not want to wear such an offensive piece, especially since she has tons of brooches that aren?t? Just a hint of her massive collection:

Yes
@dianab I have considered that it was a representation of St. Balthazar as well along with the strain the entire family has been under since Lady Sophie Windsor's terrible accident. However I would have hoped that either PMK or their daughter Lady Arabella might have pointed out to her that maybe this wasn't the right time to wear it. JMO on the matter.
It was a racist disgusting thing to do & she should have picked a brooch to match her earrings. >(

Why Princess Michael of Kent Is the Most Controversial Royal Family Member
Princess Michael of Kent Is the Most Controversial Royal Family Member | PEOPLE.com (http://people.com/royals/princess-michael-of-kent-controversial-royal-family-member/)
It is Princess Micheal. She did it on purpose.
Of all the dozens of brooches she has, she PICKED THAT ONE!!!!!
Yeah, right.
Forget about MM. Take out the statement she wanted to make to MM. this was an indirect statement, disrespect to HRH, Queen Elizabeth. And to HRH, Prince Henry. PHenery outranks MarieChristinePrincess Micheal.
I am going off subject a bit, but will bring it back to this awful, ugly woman. Bea and Eug were wrongly titled. Lady Bea and a Lady Eug would have been better and better for them as young woman.Princess without a country and more. Upon marriage, their children will be just Miss and Mister...... Harry?s children should be titled,Lady and Loed or Viscount...etc.
Prince Micheal, first cousin of the Queen, then a princess Elizabeth , were both grandkids, first cousins of the Monarch. Decades later, almost 100 years later, PrincevMicheal has an outdated title. A man without a country , do to speak, but titled Prince.
Then upon marriage, she became Princess Micheal.
Too many people , per the old custom, of being titled a Prince and Princess.
It should be going in the line , only P and P for those of the children next in line. All of QE children, but not all of her grandchildren as it once was therefore you had Prince Micheal. Only PCharles children. Only Williams? children. Only George?s children, etc.
Things brings me back to The Micheals. KP is full to capacity. Micheals and Gloucesters . Heir , William. Henerybis don, not grandson of the deceased Monarch.
The Micheals should have not lived there in the first place or had been given an expiration date when he married.
I think MarieChristines message was a point to HRH and Harry too.
You ain?t taking me from KPalace as I am . Princess...
See an interview where she said the Gloucesters should move to something smaller since they are elderly. See TheDM. This was way before Harry got engaged.
