Queen thought Meghan’s wedding dress was ‘too white’ as Sussexes mark 6th anniversary
The late Queen reportedly thought it was inappropriate that the Duchess of Sussex looked so ‘flamboyantly virginal’
Queen Elizabeth slut shaming her granddaughter in law:
In the monarch’s view, it was not appropriate for a divorcée getting remarried in church to look quite so flamboyantly virginal
“Flamboyantly Virginal” is my new band name.
In all seriousness, what a dumb thing to get worked up about in the first place and what a mean and insulting comment to make.
To be fair, I don't think her views are all that important. Especially when she was alive. But at least she's rotting now. So that's good.
Flamboyantly Virginal
I didn't know the Queen could roast Reddit users so hard.
Lol based
Well, her great great grandmother started the trend of white wedding dresses. For whatever that's worth.
Would that make her the leading expert when she was alive? I don't care.
Does it matter what the colour of the dress is? Only if you care about repressive social standards.
I want to see colourful wedding dresses, hell a black one would be awesome, especially if the guy was the one wearing it and the woman was in a tux.
Upon reading this comment, thousands of conservatives exploded into a fit of rage induced by a misplaced fear of oppression
A friend of mine got married in a black wedding dress, it was absolutely amazing!
That sounds beautiful. I wish I could see a pic of it
Not sure why this was posted here. It’s not surprising an elderly lady had that opinion.
Who gives a fuck what an old dead lizard thought?
I am sure her reptilian followers did.
People clicking on the article.
Journalism so important!
Also journalism:
Old bitch say mean things about a dress!
That's such a dumb take.
It's a joke take.
No u
Should have worn a blue/gold dress.
I think a black/purple dress would have looked better.
Shocker, the 90+ old white british woman was racist.
It wasn’t racism (this time), just an antiquated and sexist attitude towards who should get to wear white wedding dresses (Megan is a divorcée).
There’s definitely a racist subtext:
- Imagine the Queen criticizing Kate for being “flamboyant.” This word echoes negative racist stereotypes disseminated by white culture of how Black women act and dress. Now to be clear there is nothing flamboyant about this dress and when compared with Kate both dresses are large and grandiose. It’s not just that she’s not “virginal” it’s the “in your face”-ness about it that the Queen has commented on. What did Megan do differently than any other Royal bride on her wedding day to stand out except be black?
- it is possible that the dress appears to be whiter because Megan’s skin is darker, which is also subtly racist. Black women need to be relegated to a different shade of white when they’re divorced now? Come on.
- Camilla the divorcee wore white on her wedding day to Divorced Charles the 3rd. She just had an ugly - and I might say quite flamboyant - overcoat over it.
She was referring to the dress, not the person wearing it.
More misogynist for this specific angle, but I'm sure there's a fair bit of misogynoir intersectionality there
Jfc, who cares.. fuck the queen. Death the to the monarchy
Ah yes, Rishi Sunak should be our head of State
If you take the Hex-Code for pure white (FFFFFF) and add the D in the back ((FFFFFD), it will change from White to a slightly yellow tint, it'll go more yellow with every D you add. So... the queen had a point.
If only it were about that and not about misogynistic views relating to women's virginity.
Yeah, because that's what the queen was referring to when she made that off handed, old misogynistic, probably also racist undertoned remark.
Many people see a violet/blue shade as more white. There are some chemicals that reflect ultraviolet light for this effect.
The point is, it looks cheap. Maybe that's what she meant. It's the same with chalk white teeth. They are also weird. There is a natural white like "angel white" that is often used. It's more yellowish and not that reflective.
The moment I see any news concerning UK royal family I throw up a lil bit
hehe sus sex
Perhaps it was the contrast that bothered her
