5. Oh, I've seen people muttering about her "ethnic roots", that she's "working class"

"this will end in tears", that she's an "actress with many notches on the bedpost", and even that she's "substantially older" than him. And, of course, that she has a "non European racial admix" or is a "mulatto". She's been summed up as a "slag", or a "gold digger". This is all in one thread on a website. And they've yearned for Katherine, or Chelsy whatever-her-name-is that Harry used to go out with, as the "proper" sort of woman a royal ought to marry. Some are opnely saying it's about race, others are scrabbling for excuses because they know they shouldn't say that.

Having said that, some of the people on that website who are fairly typical Mail readers are reacting in a normal pro-royal way, saying she's very nice, and taking the piss out of those who do have issues with her ethnicity.
