Meaghan Markell's controversial comments about racism in the Royal Family had to have been referring to Prince Phillip who died recently. And I can see her point in making this charge. It turns out England has a Joe Biden they would like to keep in their basement and it turns out to have been Prince Phillip. Here are a few of his gems.
To the President of Nigeria, wearing traditional robes, in 2003. 'You look like you're ready for bed!'
To Aboriginal leader William Brin in Queensland, 2002: 'Do you still throw spears at each other?'
To a British student trekking in Papua New Guinea, during an official visit in 1998. 'You managed not to get eaten then?'
To a British tourist during a tour of Budapest in 1993. 'You can't have been here that long — you haven't got a pot belly.'
To a meeting of the World Wildlife Fund in 1986. 'If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.'
To a British student on a visit to China in 1986. 'If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes.'
To a Kenyan woman in 1984. 'If it doesn't fart or eat hay, she isn't interested.'
To 13-year-old Andrew Adams who wanted to go into space, 'You're too fat to be an astronaut.'
Speaking in 2000 — 18 years before his grandson Harry married Meghan Markle. 'People think there's a rigid class system here, but dukes have been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans.'
On the Royal Family's finances in 1969. We go into the red next year ... I shall have to give up polo.
These are but a small selection.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9455329/How-Prince-Philips-one-liners-brightened-day-critics-called-gaffes.htmlFor years the British press let Prince Phillip off the hook and let him get away with unashamedly politically incorrect comments that we would call racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, non-diverse, and snobbish.
Sound familiar to what’s going on in U.S. politics? Go back and look at all Joe Biden’s ‘gaffes’ which are really Freudian slips, and they are almost all racial. But Biden and the Democrats are treated with kid gloves by the Main Stream press and let off the hook the same way as the Royals, only here it's because of Liberal privilege. They are held to different standards and they in turn act as the elites they think they are, a class above common Americans. They view themselves in the same vein as the elite ordained ruling class: above us, above the law, and above criticism.
