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.
I’m not seeing that this is the case here. Wearing white wedding dresses is traditionally only for “virgins”. The Queen was the head of the Church of England. It might even be unusual for a 90-year-old head of the church, not to object to something like this.
I think this is a stretch, and assuming rather a lot about someone you don’t know
The queen did object to Camilla wearing a white dress when she married Charles
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:
