When I stand in the crowd to watch him play I often here comments like this: "Wow, did you see that great action of the black guy".....the black guy?? I never hear comments like: the white guy on the left made the goal. The 'white guy' is considered as the norm and is called by his name or his backnumber. And that is what my son reclaims, he wants to be called by his name and not by his colour.<br /><br />I agree with you there are no 'right' words for people of colour. So why don't we just stop searching for 'names' for people and call them simply by their names. Ms Meghan Markle. Point!<br /><br />I am looking forward to see more pictures of Meghan, I like her style and hope we are discussing in future simply that, her fashion and style. There is abolutely no need to reflect on her hair being 'difficult'or her mother coming from the Caribbean or whatsoever.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616649705139203889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-14638532782186992382018-01-21T14:02:09.964+00:002018-01-21T14:02:09.964+00:00Cherry Blossom, what is "so indelicate" ...Cherry Blossom, what is "so indelicate" about my comment?

The trips she and Harry are doing now are not formal visits. They are the kind of places where she can go knee deep meeting the masses. Radio stations..kid events..sporting events ...places that interest them as patronages. She is not unveiling plaques or cutting ribbons or stepping in for the Queen. She has been completely appropriate for these trips. A messy bun is quite hip and chic btw. I am 100% sure that when the time comes where are going to more formal events or travelling the Commonwealth for Her Majesty she will be polished! Catherine has been from day 1 groomed to be Queen. She cannot have anything out of place. My God that must be claustrophobic at times. I suspect she might wish she could relax her style a bit as she was more of a relaxed dresser before she married. <br /><br />I think Meghan is going to knock our socks off with her style.i already love it! I want that coat ans those boots!! 😁Diane Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018830629685799985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-85680747009516155312018-01-21T05:24:13.849+00:002018-01-21T05:24:13.849+00:00Totally agree with you Beth!

In our international family you will find about ten nationalities and colours of all shades and hairstuctures of all kinds also as sizes of all kinds and so on. I don't even notice these things anymore, as I do not notice it on Meghan. All what I see is a beautiful, warm-hearted, intelligent woman, who has clear visions and goals in her life and is up to serve people.<br /><br />But we heard it more than once that the curly hair of our kids have been told ..."difficult". Why??? They are not. They are beautiful. They are just difficult when the european/caucasian straight hairtype is regarded as "normal hair". This is why black/mixed/wahtever you want to call it women in public position, like Michelle Obama, like Ophra Winfrey, like the Obama daughters usually straighten their hair, they want to keep it out of discussion. Remember the very rude comments that Michelle Obama had to bear? <br /><br />It is totally up to Meghan what hairstyle she wants to wear. She can straighten them if she wants, like some people curl up their hair or colour it. I wish she will have the courage to one day wear them open and curly. I can already hear the shitstorm!! But what a role model she would be for any coloured/black girl in this world!

You mean more difficult than let's say....Kate's hair that is too long and heay and get's in her face.....Victorias hair, that is always strictly pulled back....MM's overdyed much too blond hair with that middleparting, that doesn't suit her.....Charlene with that harsh too short cut....the queen of difficult hair of course, Maxima ;-))....ah, and don't forget Stéphanie of Monaco, har hair must be so difficult that she decided to do just nothing with it....<br /><br />Meghan's hair is not any more difficult than others - or is this a sideblow to her race? <br /><br />Meghan sports - like Harry - a modern, casual, urban style. This is perfect for their role and that's why they look so good together. Up to now we saw Meghan in rather informal events, often outdoors with wind and rain. I am sure, when it comes to gala events she will have her hair perfectly styled.<br /><br />I think the casual updo suits her very well, look at Photo no 7. All she has to do is take care, that the side strands don't fall that much into her face. She has to keep that in mind, as she is moving a lot in these events, meeting and greeting people, bowing down to children etc. She will learn this. She is doing great up to now.<br /><br />And for those who compare her to Maxima's hair. Meghans hairstyle may have been too casual in moments, but Maxima's hair looks destroyed and unpolished unless she has he hair done with lots of extensions for formal events. This ist not the same.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616649705139203889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-5404577704046651072018-01-19T11:25:38.096+00:002018-01-19T11:25:38.096+00:00Her outfit looks good, and although she is not in ...Her outfit looks good, and although she is not in the same position as the Duchess of Cambridge, she needs guidance on her hairstyle for official engagements.
