Princess Michael's racist jewellery is so much more convenient than ruining your bed sheets.
What on earth is 'blackamoor brooch'? I have no idea what the significance of this is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42462724

is it racist, maybe in bad taste, the papers love to blow stuff up?
Why do people always treat non-sentient objects as though they are capable of being racist? Why don't you ask the brooch for its opinion on Markle, then you'll find out if it's racist.Alternatively, ask Princess Michael what she intended by wearing the brooch and see if she's racist. Most likely she just liked the look of it.
Why's she apologising, then? Did Markle herself take offence? Probably not. Just the usual twitter rent-an-outrage lot.

not sure how you jump to the conclusion, the issue is no intention, as clearly she wasn't being racist, she probably did like the look, but are massive connotations associated with its history.Alternatively, ask Princess Michael what she intended by wearing the brooch and see if she's racist.

Everything is racist. Or sexist. The brooch was a figure of a man, and Prince Harry is a man, so obviously she was being sexist toward him too. Am I doing this right? I haven't been to university recently so I'm not very good at all this racist/sexist/gender fluid/safe space business...
Never heard of that that style of jewellery before but the queens cousin has a bit of history when it comes to things like this.

Let's hope the second set of nuptials are a little more low key. However with Andy and Fergie in charge I fear it may not be...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5297137/...
