    Royal family

     

    I have nothing to complain about the royal family, I love them and I'm not saying they idiots or horrible.

    Anyway what do you think?:

    So the Queen and kings, prince and princesses ect.. why do they not go out with people outside of the English race? I mean do they not like ethnic people marrying into the royal family.

    i know, i've always thought that's a little strange. after all, the uk is such a diverse place, it's not as if people with different ethnic backgrounds aren't still british in nationality if they were born and brought up here.

    Hey,

    I understand what you mean but Prince Philip (whose married to the Queen) is both German and Danish. He was also born the Prince of Greece and Denmark so I guess he counts as someone outside the English race. I think they do try to keep the race pure though, or something like that.

    Hope this helps!

    I know that the Royal family are with Europeans but that is normal. I mean by race and skin colour. Most Europeans are white skin, I know not everyone is, and would they go out with an African or idian or even someone darker than them.

    I think Queen Victoria was in love with an Indian man? There was the Scottish one too which doesn't count and her husband of course but I think she was? Or fond of him but not like in love really. I think now if say Harry fell in love with a girl who wasnt white then it would be allowed i think in the past they had more like arranged marriages or a list of people who would be allowed. Now they can chose I couldnt see it being a problem.

    because they're english and they have to stay that way to preserve who they really are i think.

    I think that because they are obviously living and working most of the time inside the country that is where they find who they love. William for example met Kate at uni (in Enlgand) and so because this uni was in England it was more likely that if he found his lover there they would be English. It is not anything else to do with them trying to marry someone English, but just that we live in England where more people are Enlgish

    Nope the Queen is Austrian. Not German but Austrian. And they do it to preserve the blood line. Dates back hundreds of years. Our nation used to own like 55% of the world. But we lost it all because we went bankrupt. So we are trying to preserve our heritage.

    i don't thnk it's racist because they might intend to go out with people who are the same ethnicity, you really choose who u love.
