I think this is very true. I'm finding it very hard to marry together the attitudes people have on here (and elsewhere) about M&H, vs the attitudes people normally have about the issues they discussed. Besides being brainwashed by the media, I really don't understand why seemingly intelligent people are so determined to see M&H as bad people and find ways they are fabricating things, when they are describing things that are usually taken seriously.
I think it's also a bit misplaced to focus too much on blaming the royal family. I think they have a lot to answer for internally regarding how they treat and look after their own (which I thought was quite apparent even before this interview, tbh), but at the same time even Meghan made it pretty clear that the reason she was thrown under the bus by them, essentially, was due to how the RF felt they had to behave to avoid vulturous press, that routinely turn against people and essentially destroy their lives, to satisfy the general public's insatiable desire to judge them.
To my mind, any or all of them are most likely flawed people who have done less than perfect things, but the one thing that IS pretty apparent is the horrific and damaging effects of the media and paparazzi going too far in it's treatment of people. This has been seen to cost lives and people's mental wellbeing so many times in other well known cases, yet the general public seem so willing and keen to lap up the deflection the media offers, rather than analysise their own complicity in this culture. Do we really care whether Meghan or Kate was the one to make the other cry before the wedding, in the face of such a serious subject going on alongside it?
I really do not understand why people are so willing to lap up the diversions from the part of this that really matters, in favour of focusing on what is essentially a family spat.
