To think the treatment of Camilla and Meghan Markle exposes a glaring double standard?

I dont like MM because she is disingenuous. She tries to come across as this approachable, relatable 'royal'. Time and again she has shown her true feelings through her actions and they way she presents herself. This has nothing to do with her colour, race, gender or being American as some would allege.

Her and 'just call me Harry' want all the trappings of wealth, privilege, protection and glory but want none of the work associated with that. They want the police protection but none of the work just because they are non working royal. Harry partly brings it upon himself for writing about how many 'kills' he did in his book. He openly writes and slanders the Royal Family in his book for money knowing his family wont retaliate. They wont retaliate because he is still their family and also its not protocol. I suspect she encourages him to do this. If they had genuine complaints then fine but there are people out there who are so much more worse off than these 2 but they are only blindsided by their own needs and wants and openly publically broadcast this regularly.

The couple goes on Netflix and Opera to air 'their truth'. But have they ever considered the otherside of the coin? have they considered their truth might not be the right truth? In short, they show they can be bought for money. Whereas the rest of the RF show they cant be bought and they wont sell out family for millions.

Who goes live and says we're now on the 'freedom flight'? They obviously felt hemmed in but now they want to come back? The pairnof them, tail between their legs asking to be relevant again because theyve used up all their goodwill in USA.

Who does a talk show selling their 'As Ever' then tells people 'im Sussex now'. Shes promoting her status. She feels fake to me.

MM just isnt humble... personally what annoys me about her is that she had every opportunity and one of the biggest platform in the world to support and promote people of colour and she gave it all away for cash. Thats all shes interested in, making money and putting herself centre stage when she could have done so much good and highlight charities.

Camilla does not betray the family, has stood by KCs side for the past 30 years and got on with her charitable work.

Do we really think that the royal family, including Camilla, had no clue about Andrew? If we are talking double standards on reporting a paedophile the Royal family really does not have a leg to stand on. In fact their head paid a lot of money to protect him.

Nothing to do with it. The horrible way she treats people and inserts herself front and centre is why a lot of people don't like her. Not a fan of Diana either but she was treated badly by the rf.

Camilla has quiet dignity that people like and respect. She never complained or criticised when the press was against her. She has been unfailingly loyal and supportive the the RF.

Yes, I remember that! There’s always good media value in RF strife.

I always smile when people lay out their careful rationalisations for why it’s okay for them to dislike a complete stranger. They’ve just picked up on a press narrative, and it appeals to them for one reason or another. But if you consider the RF things that haven’t really hit the press until there was no other choice (cough Andrew Mountbatten), you’d think more people might ask themselves if everything they’re reading is the actual dirt!

Oh my Lord! Don't tell me that black woman has only been pretending to be her mother 😳!
That lying, manipulative mean girl sure had me fooled. Just too much - I'm off to lie down 🤦🏾‍♀️!

"Everyone" doesn't still love Diana.
I remember the 1981 wedding, and I now feel sorry for both Diana and Charles, because they clearly were so unsuited.
I think Camilla is fabulous, and would love to meet her. She has tolerated some terrible press, never complained, rolled up her sleeves and got on with the royal duties she almost certainly never wanted. She also understands where she fits in the royal "pecking order".
Whereas Meghan never even tried to learn the rules, treated the late Queen appallingly, and thinks the whole show should be about her. There is no comparison - her behaviour has been appalling (and I do include Harry in this criticism).

I think the issue with Meghan is that she didn’t want to be a working Royal. She wanted the perks without the boring stuff. Not unlike Fergie actually.

Probably because Camilla has not drawn attention to her self with a neverending narcissistic circus and just got on with the job in hand ( at least in public) . I not a fan of royals but even I can see that.

Do we prefer people who maintain a lengthy affair with a married man?

This post encapsulates my thoughts exactly

I think you could say that the affair was maintained/rekindled or however you like to put it because stuffy and ridiculous "protocol" had deemed Camilla not the right marriage material for an heir to the throne. How blinkered and short sighted that ridiculous "protocol" was! And how very damaging to all concerned.

I remember watching Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981 and noting that neither of them looked at all happy. It seems they weren't.

Of course an affair is wrong. But so is forcing two totally unsuitable people (Charles and Diana) into a marriage that was never going to work and just expecting them to get on with it. That's what the royal family did, especially the Queen and Prince Philip.

Remember, the sainted Diana also had affairs and both she and Charles gave public interviews.

The whole thing was brought about by the royals themselves, especially the rigid and foolish adherence to a mad protocol.

If that’s the case neither do the Sussex’s who knew about her father for 8/9 years and who also said nothing

Public option wasn’t pro Camilla originally, however over time people have accepted her, seen her positive qualities. The difference is Camilla isn’t broadcast her views or criticised her husband’s family publicly. This is not a racist issue.

Camilla has quietly got on with life. She is working hard to support her husband, work for the country, take on charity work. She was initially vilified by the press but just kept her head down. She has never sold a story. She has never made her husband step down from public duties whilst still thinking he has the right to security paid for by the country he is no longer working for.
I'm not sure why you would compare the two ladies?

she's not Queen because she's been rehabilitated, it wasn't a public vote. she was married to the dude who became king.

and also, rehabilitated from what? they had an affair, but she didn't slander his family in the news, try and make money of her connections etc. once they were both single, she wasn't doing snyth5 wrong. she's kept her focus on being the Kings wife, and doing what's expected of her.

I don't think MM deserves all the shit she gets but the circumstances are entirely different

and tbh there still lots of "she's not MY Queen, only Diana is the true Queen" crap out there, but same people just ignore it

Aside from Elizabeth II, I struggle to think of a female Royal who hasn't at some point been utterly vilified by the press and large swathes of the public. Even the sainted Diana, all through the summer of 1997, was being jeered at and condemned for her romance with Dodi, until she was canonised overnight when she tragically died.

Blood royals have suffered this too - the York princesses leap to mind - but particularly women who have married into or been romantically linked with senior royals. Fergie, who was flavour of the month for a while but then had the audacity to gain weight when she was pregnant. Catherine, in the 'waity Katie' era. Camilla, for years and years in the wake of tampon gate.

It's misogyny, and in Meghan's case it's misogyny with an added dose of racism.

How anyone cares about any member of this feudal, outdated institution is beyond me, but of course us peasants have all been raised to care about our over lords.

Meghan is still a thousand times more privileged than 99.9 percent of the UK public, of any skin colour, so to be frank I don’t really feel sorry for her.

do yourself a favour and spend your time and energy thinking about how make your own lives and those of fellow peasants better (we could start with a quick little revolution).

What rubbish. Everyone being so
called racist toward Megan is what the fans cling onto and it’s not true. It’s used as a way to shut down ANY legitimate criticism of their heroine. And you know what? That’s cards been played and it doesn’t work anymore.

My post was in response to that point exactly. If you are comparing the two and saying Camilla didn't not report known sexual abuse of children, then yes, yes she did.

I would not call myself a 'fan' of Meghan. I don't watch any of the sort of TV or content that she makes - I have no interest at all in 'lifestyle' TV or social media content.

But you don't have to be a fan of someone or even to like them to recognise when they are being unfairly victimised.

Your reading comprehension may be lacking here. I didn't say she was lying about who her mother is. Of course we know she has a mixed race black mother (as do my nieces and nephews) but she herself doesn't look black but tries to use the race card to deflect from her poor behaviour

Okay 😃😃😃

Why on earth would you think they are being unfairly criticised? They are being criticised and held to account for their lies and behaviour. They are not beyond reproach.
