I believe Meghan and Harry quickly realised there was really no winning with the press and that the palace wasn’t invested in trying to back them up in any way not even subtle ways like they do for other family members.. perhaps because they hadn’t really embraced Meghan. I do think the relationship was too quickly intense that they didn’t manage to adjust ways to fit her into their ways so I don’t think it’s personal but non the less I think Harry feels sidelined..
I do think the reality is that Harry was never really couched on how to lead a successful romantic life like his brother was, because Harry’s wife wasn’t going to be as significant. But I think given the significance to the royal family he still needed guidelines and I do think he stumbled across many obstacles because he thought he can just wing it like he winged other relationships and that he would be embraced.
I think him and his irrational choices had been embraced by thr family for a long time given he was motherless so I think he grew up a bit entitled and when the royal family didn’t carry on to smother him he felt betrayed and assumed it’s because of his marriage choice. In reality it’s because the choices he was starting to make are actually of serious implications for the family and they couldn’t take responsibility for it.
I think there is a massive misunderstanding going on. No one behaved perfectly. And it’s just a bit of drama that would iron out with time.
But as a mother of two toddlers, and coming from a family background that don’t measure up in status to my in laws.
I really feel like Meghan and her new born babies are only behaving naturally.. it might sound dramatic but she is a new mother with babies.. and nesting hormones do make us alienate ourselves from sources of harm to us and our kids.. and at times create drama or seek attention when we are vulnerable and want to get out of all the negative attention being just on us.
I think Meghan was definately victim of racism and misogyny of our British society, much before she opened her mouth.
When she opened her mouth she was a new mother trying to deal with a lot and trying to make sense of what’s impeding her precious moments with her newborn son.. and then I think it’s natural that when she is pregnant for the second time she would resort to shifting a bit of focus from herself and her newborn and iron out the narrative despite the implications, because let’s face it, we all care a lot more about our babies than we do about our in laws.
In laws that didn’t do much to protect us, regardless of whether they owed it to her or not, are not entitled to be prioritised by a new mother struggling with sheltering her children from all the negativity.
I don’t think she is handling this well, and I don’t think Harry is either. But I also don’t expect them to because this is a sensitive time for them and what they’re dealing with isn’t really straightforward..
I do sympathize with all involved. But I think as a new mother of babies, I just feel like it’s only human to have some compassion to her and her newborn.
I find the lack of empathy and lack of attempt to understand her obviously desperate behaviour to be really disheartening.
I think Meghan is stuck in a mess that’s not her own. And her motherhood and precious moments are also caught in the middle.
She doesn’t owe the British public or the royal family to suck it up. I think even if her speaking up is coming across wrongly , or expecting her husband to protect her when she is in her vulnerable moments... is coming across wrong..
But I think she is going through what any new mother with in law issues would be trying to do in her position.. except she has the misogynistic press on her back on top of that.
I think it’s depressing to see that much coldness towards women. It is all about misogyny for me and “othering”.
