Exhibit 78: #ParentingGate
William and Kate are hands-on parents, who prioritise their children over royal duties, which is praised. Amid rumours Meghan may not attend the Coronation, prioritising her children, particularly Archie, whose birthday is the same day, is bad.
Exhibit 79: #OKRoyalWomenSpecialGate
To celebrate International Women's Day (Feb 2023), OK magazine decided to run a Royal Women special edition. Anyone notice who has been missed out?
Exhibit 80: #VulgarNailColourGate
Apparently pale nail colours are within royal protocol, bold colours are not. Criticism has been made of Meghan's colour choices, which have conspicuously not been made about either Diana or Kate. Let us let them wear whatever colour they like.
Exhibit 80A: #VulgarNailColourGate
The same news outlet with very different reporting on nail colours and royal protocol. Kate "surprises" with her "fashion first" choice, unlike Meghan who is presented as a protocol breaking repeat offender. H/T @AliciaJ1985
Exhibit 80B: #VulgarNailColourGate
Royal protocol is often used as a reason for supposed objective criticism of Meghan. An unwritten set of standards, which can move, like the proverbial goalposts. Here, Kate breaking with tradition is framed positively. archive.md/IMKLN
Exhibit 81: #ChildrenFirstGate
Meghan has decided not to attend the Coronation to put her children first. Cameron Walker of GBNews suggests this will have unpleasant consequences for her. Previously and inconsistently Kate was praised for putting her children before royal duties.
Exhibit 82: #StraightHairGate
Sarah Vine says Meghan's recent straight hair is being used as a means to damage the Royal family from afar, despite the fact Meghan has wore the style before, as has Kate. The sneering use of "ambitious" & "uncompromising" betray an obvious bias.

Please beware the Twitter accounts sharing seemingly harmless nostalgia, which are, in reality, spreading xenophobia and racism. @Otto_English has dubbed this trend #Shitstalgia. Here is a case in point: Sandy of Suffolk.... 1/n
Sandy was quick to say her thread wasn't intended to be racist, but does that stack up? #Shitstalgia 2/n
Someone replied to Sandy of Suffolk with a beautiful photo of the Shah Jahan Mosque. Take a look at Sandy's reply. So, Sandy, Muslims aren't British, then?

Roger M Hoe is the Reform Party's candidate for parliament at the next election for Beverley Holness. Perhaps we should take a closer look at his previous tweets and stated opinions?
Why do you think that the oft convicted far right activist Tommy Robinson (aka Tommy Ten names), former member of the EDL and the BNP, an Islamophobic racist, is described by Roger M Hoe as a "patriot"?
Why is Roger M Hoe so keen to see what news Tommy Robinson, the racist, Islamophobic, far right activist, formerly of the EDL and BNP, might have on Telegram?
Ginny H Ball is the Reform Party's candidate for parliament at the next election for Rutland and Stamford. Perhaps we should take a closer look at her previous tweets and stated opinions?
Why would Ginny H Ball suggest the British born and British educated political and women's rights commentator Shola Mos-Shogbamimu should be deported?
Why would Ginny H Ball suggest any black person, whether born British, or a British citizen, if accused or guilty of a violent offence, should be deported? Would she suggest the same for a white person doing the same?
Susan Hall has been selected by Conservative members to become the party's mayoral candidate for London after winning 57% of the vote. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
I wonder what Conservative party HQ makes of Susan Hall's now deleted tweet about Dan Wootton, given the @BylineTimes revelations of a couple of days ago? bylinetimes.com/2023/07/17/gb-…
@BylineTimes I wonder what London's diverse electorate will make of Susan Hall thinking a gesture to show opposition to racism is "really bad"?
It's May 2023 and Darren Grimes is still hoping King Charles doesn't remember that he only recently called him the "Clown Prince".
Coronation day and Darren Grimes is bursting with loyalty and allegiance to King Charles III, the man who under a year ago was dubbed "Clown Prince" by Grimes.
On Coronation Day, Dan Wootton praises the new King, Charles III, all his previous criticism forgotten. It wouldn't have been good for his career to have maintained a consistent line, now, would it?
