Lana Del Rey gets backlash for saying she loves the way Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth loved each other

[Jordan Miller 72,415]

Lana Del Rey is facing criticism for saying she loved the way Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth loved each other.

Namely because for one they're distant relatives (third cousins) and also because of Prince Philip's racist past. 

A lot of the comments are going IN. Again. 

Thoughts, Exhale?

i think people need to find something more worthy of getting mad at

[thebritmaster 2,817]

I mean they were married for 70 years

Celebrity says literally anything 

Internet gets mad. Again. 

Anyway, anyone ever wanted to keep a brown recluse as a pet? I hear they're really cuddly and can scare away trespassers.

The way that Lana is romanticizing incest feels a bit inappropriate. The white Nicki, indeed.

poor lana, i love her so much, 

[Melissa98x 86]

Can people just leave Lana alone? ******.

I think she was just trying to be nice and posted in respect to the fact that one of them has died. They were married for 70 years. It is a big life to live together. Internet this days is too much with canceling ppl and etc. Too much drama. Like it is not enough for them in a real life.

I mean I can't stand Lana whatsherface but I get it they did look like they loved each other in their older years.

[CrazyButItFeelsAllright 31,632]

I mean according to 23andMe my third cousins and I share less than 1% genetics. Not condoning it, but these people had slim pickings back then  I, for one, am sick and tired of this family 

[Look But Don't Touch 4,557]

Lmaoooo can people focus on real problems 

[Paolo94 561]

I swear to God I don't get this backlash... at all. I'm sure she said that naively because she didn't know they were third cousins, like... I didn't know that too.

Is it really worthy to cancel Lana who stated that, since THEY are the married cousins?

Also, no one should be cancelled, just stop giving this family all of this attention. Personal opinion.

So let me get this straight, can’t anybody speak respectfully of the dead because they weren’t perfect when they were alive?

Racism is no thing to accept, ever, but so is celebrating anyone’s death.

[MortalMarshmallow 1,398]

Racist how?

[Groundbreaking 1,922]

He was racist, ***ist etc. (basically, he grew up in a period of time when it was acceptable and usual) yet it has nothing to do with the way they loved each other.

That being said, Lana (as well as many others) had no clue that they were third cousins. So what is the matter now? Give homegirl a f break. And leave this wretched "family" alone.

This is the reason why everyone is making fun of us igens.

There's only a few comments that I've sourced

- To a group of British students in China "if you stay here too long, you'll all end up slitty eyed"

- Asked an oboriginal person in Australia "do you still throw spears at each other?"

- He mocked the president of Nigeria's clothing, saying he looked like he was ready for bed

There was also a comment about Indians at the embassy, can't quite find that one atm.

But I think the two latter are more sheer ignorance, something that white people still openly adopt.

The "slitty-eyed" comment though 

[davidspears 343]

Oh for Gods sake.

What is the world coming to?

[davidspears 343]

How dare she say that? Who does she think she is?
