Shouldn't the headline be "British Ex-Police?" I mean they're still British right?
- Not if you insult the royals.
  
  Lmfao, the royals don't consider Meghan one of them, and partake as much in insulting her as the average Daily Heil reader.
- No, they had corrective surgery
Surely they don't only discipline cops when it affects the royals... right?
- This hits differently with what's happening in Northern Ireland.
Are they ex-police or ex British? Did they have their citizenship revoked over it? Lol
The irony of this headline. She has a name!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Five retired British police officers on Thursday admitted sending offensive and racist social media messages about Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and others.
The charges say messages posted in a closed WhatsApp group referred to Harry and wife Meghan, as well as Prince William and his wife, Kate, and the late Queen Elizabeth II and her late husband, Prince Philip.
Robert Lewis, Peter Booth, Anthony Elsom, Alan Hall and Trevor Lewton pleaded guilty at London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court to sending by public communication grossly offensive racist messages.
A sixth former officer, Michael Chadwell, denied one count of the same charge and is due to stand trial Nov. 6.
The biracial American actress Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, the queen’s grandson, at Windsor Castle in 2018.
In early 2020, they stepped away from royal duties and left the U.K., citing what they said were the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media.
The original article contains 249 words, the summary contains 156 words. Saved 37%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I just don't understand why they're being racist towards her. They are so many more legitimate reasons to hate her and they picked that? Terrible.
Who gives a shit. Sick of royal spam.
TIL it's now illegal to be a racist twat in private.
- You are not wrong. How did we end up on the side of the racists?
Saint Meghan subreddit with their fingers in their ears rn going lalalalala 🤣
