I thought the context was that the Archbishop of Canterbury didn’t know who Oprah was and Sophie was telling that story. Which, still a weird story to tell and she said it in a disparaging way about Oprah. Like “how would he know.”

The bigger lie is them not knowing Oprah. I call huge BS on that! Oh definitely. Of course, they know Oprah. To say they “don’t know” her is just another racist feather in their hat as far as I’m concerned. It’s bitchy and passive aggressive AF.

More recently when they were expressly asked about the O interview, they scoffed and claimed to not know who Oprah was or that the interview even occurred.

just to KTSE i don't like when the queen does the full matching set of tiara, earrings, and necklace. It's tooo much “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off” - Coco Chanel

. I didn’t even see this... they don’t know Oprah... 🤣🤣 The BRF is showing off their PR brilliance again- they deleted these pictures. So they just in the last day or so went back and deleted pictures of an event from 7 years ago because Omid pointed out the lies?

It’s just another day in the racist, gaslighting BRF. To claim that Oprah is just another “chat show” host and no one in England has a reason to know who she is undermines all that she has achieved as a black woman. She is world renowned and so influential that Sophie visited one of her schools. But let’s reduce her to a chat show host that is irrelevant outside the US.
No ones buying what you are selling.

Daily Mail headline:
Blooming lovely! Princess Beatrice looks glamorous in green as she cradles her burgeoning baby bump while enjoying a sunny day out with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in London
So tell me how Meghan wasn’t treated unfairly?

She’s here!
It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world," read a statement from the couple released on Sunday.

Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 a.m. in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home," the statement continued. "Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales."
"This is the second child for the couple, who also have a two-year-old son named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. The Duke and Duchess thank you for your warm wishes and prayers as they enjoy this special time as a family."

They really kept the lid on that if she was born Friday. Kudos to them.

I'm so behind on threads but I just saw and ran here. I'm so excited for them!
I saw an article last week anticipating the name 'Lily', so obviously someone had good Intel. I figured they'd use Diana too.

Congrats to Harry and Meghan!
I definitely thought they'd use a flower-inspired name (i.e. Lily, Daisy, etc.) but would've never guessed they'd choose something so royally significant.

I’m honestly shocked they named her after the queen. That’s one hell of an olive branch.

Love the name! Glad they could welcome her privately to the world. They must be really appreciating the difference between her birth and Archie's.

I just figured out who her husband reminds me of. I cant remember the name but he was on Gossip Girl, I think as the drug dealer, and now he's the OB on Rebel. Eta- Kevin Zegers

I love the name and am really happy for them that they were able to go some time in between birth and announcing.

Lilibet Diana is a lovely name. Lily was on our short list for E. I would never have guessed they would name her after the Queen. I thought maybe something honoring Doria and Diana.

I’m honestly shocked they named her after the queen. That’s one hell of an olive branch. Yes, for sure. I told my H, who very much does not care about the royals, about the baby/name. He said “why would they name her after the queen? Isn’t she racist and mean to Meghan?”

From the archewell website; a message from Meghan
“On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”
For those inquiring on sending gifts, we would ask that you support or learn more about these organizations working for women and girls: Girls Inc., Harvest Home, CAMFED or Myna Mahila Foundation.

Lilibet isn’t a name I would choose but I love Lily. Glad she had a healthy pregnancy. She is the same size as my son was at birth.

I am fucking sucking at work life balance, but I came running. I can’t believe the first name.
