Princess Michael in racist comments 'shocker'

According to the New York Post (I thought I'd never see the day when I found myself posting a link to that paper) Princess Michael has been involved in a racist incident in a New York restaurant. There was a group of black diners sitting next to her and annoyed that they were being a bit loud, she suggested that they needed to "go back to the colonies".
Is this woman related to the Duke of Edinburgh by any chance?
:rolleyes:
Could yet be rubbish (the NYP is not renowned for telling the things as they are very often) given the history the Royal Family has with such remarks I would not be surprised one bit. Though until now most such incidents had come from another Royal.
They do live in a world of their own...

Doubt it. it'd be a bit genetically close
If this is true then I really hope she apologises.
Not worth a thread then really
celeb tittle-tattle of little political import
Oh my good god - you Really aren't doing yourself any favours...he posted a link and he stated his uncertainty about the truth of the article. Which is a damn sight more than you seem capable of. Stop trolling the boards trying to 'get one over' on people because it makes you look even more of an idiot!
Today isn't shaping up to be much better.
Even for a dedicated BNP troll, it must be rather testing.
But let's not depart from the thread subject any further....
what kind of an example are they setting! Its a disgrace.
And these people seemed to find some relvance in it!! I don't want to promote this site but I figure that anyone who goes on it and thinks they talk sense is half mad already!
No, I don't think so
Still leaves you thinking how anyone in her position could ever utter such comments, if she indeed did say that.
With the perks and poncey titles come responsibility. If she wants to hang around to her title and all the fanfare it comes with she should engage her brain before opening her mouth.
Back to the Queen for a moment, she might not be responsible for Princess Michael but she's married to a far, far worse offender. And obviously has been unwilling/incapable of taming the old bigot.
Or even better ...
Ladymuck....do you think it is reasonable for anyone, royalty or not, to say "go back to the colonies" to a group of people with black skin? Tell me - Do you ...no go on tell me...please, tell me, have an opinion go on go on go on......................
no, when something happens like this the media will seek to show her as representing the royal Family, she wasn't on a royal function
no, a dumb thing to say but...
a)if I were in a state of intoxication....
b)how were that group behaving?
Ppl do make racist comments, it's what is often below thw surface, she's 59 and an aristo so she wouldn't feel that nobbled by the PC brigade
Hmmm, Ladymuck,
So if you are drunk it's ok to be a racist
even if that group were behaving like hooligans is it still ok to make racist comments....or are you saying certain behaviour is typical of those from the colonies, and that's a bad thing so it's ok to label people as people from the colonies (who are bad) and make racist comments about them?
It's not OK, it happens if that's the mindset of the person, all manner of prejudices can flow not just racial
The colonies jibe is more in keeping with her being 59 and an aristo
Most of the older members probably DO have prejudices against certain races. Remember they GREW UP in a less PC era!
She says that Princess Michael when challenged said 'I didn't say get back to the colonies, I said 'remember the colonies"...
does this make it better or something?
Yeah i think its real, it was in the Daily Mail so i will believe it
i reckon the queens greek hubby and bernhard manning would make a cracking double act ...
just goes to show that birth doesn't qualify them for the job.
one thing i find odd ... the tory kinda peoplewho stick up for the royals ...but hate the idea of becoming european ...can't get my head round that one.

OK, yes when drunk people do and say things they probably wouldn't whilst sober. Does that make racist comments right in that instance?
So what im saying is that sometimes people say stuff without thinking, by that time its too late and your classed as racist. Just something worth thinking about.
