    Tybee: I have to mention that I have no sense of caring or loyalty for our current extended national family in the US.
    I never heard of either Harry or Meghan until recently. I'm going to assume Harry is one of Diana's kids, but I don't really know for sure because I was most certainly not a fangirl. I know she was married to Charles, they had some kids, she died in a car crash and I believe their marriage was not a happy one. That pretty much sums up my knowledge of the royal family.
    I would never have realized that Meghan wasn't Caucasian if it hadn't been pointed out to me; not that it makes any difference, but initially I was puzzled by the talk of racism.

    It's been my experience that most talk of racism is unfounded, usually as a simplistic response to more complex situations.

    Wow. To me that's like saying "Who's John Lennon?" .

    Partially because I married into a British family, I have definitely dabbled in royal fandom. When Diana died, like iris lilies, I did a bit of grieving. I made my kids get up at 5am to watch the funeral on TV.

    That is funny, rosa, your lack of interest about the Diana years and spawn. Funny in a good way. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

    I felt bad when Diana died as she was finally happy.
