I think people are forgetting the rough time everyone gave Kate before Meghan came along. The snobby headlines about her mum being an air stewardess, ‘Waity Katey’, she’s just waiting around for William, her dodgy uncle, the photos of her as a student in underwear at the fashion shoot, long lens topless pics, I could go on.
The difference is Kate seems to understand that this is a pitfall of the job, that the media go through a phase of savaging every new member of the RF (Camilla, Fergie, Beatrice’s new husband because he has a child from previous marriage etc).
If Meghan had just held a dignified silence and showed willing by doing some ‘boring’ engagements like visiting community centres and old people’s homes, I really think it would’ve blown over within a year or two.
I think we can all agree Kate got shot from the press. So did Meghan. So do all the women who join the Royal family.
The gutter, tabloid press have said and done the most disgusting, vile, sexist, fat/thin shaming, mother shaming, bullying and lies about these women.
But instead of standing up and trying to stop this, you think women should be silent.
Fuck that!
Kate is entitled to stay silent. But, I for one am applauding Meghan for speaking out about this.
We live in a country were we think its acceptable for some of press to treat women this way, and women should keep quiet. And you've bought this. Hook, line, sinker.
