I didn’t buy her account of feeling suicidal. I have known a person to be actually suicidal, where they cannot be left alone. They don’t tell you they cannot be left alone. They don’t have the comprehension at that point. They are not usually aware enough of their situation to be able to so eloquently describe how they’re feeling. They’re certainly not usually able to explore so many avenues for support without someone else handholding them through it. I was surprised to hear Meghan felt so suicidal that she went to HR (what even is that in terms of the royals and why would she be doing that, HR is surely for staff not actual members of the family), consulted with Diana’s friends - again, she was very new in the scene but she’d managed to make a close confidante out of one of Diana’s old friends? She went to senior members of the family to explain her distress? This seems so atypical of my experience of someone feeling suicidal. And her husband didn’t bother doing any of these things?
A woman planning suicide whilst pregnant is such a serious and terrifying thing, that would take you a long time to recover. Yet barely two years later Meghan is full recovered, living a fairy tale (her own words) and has so much vocabulary to eloquently describe her experience, likening herself on two occasions to fairytale princesses. (Rapunzel and The Little Mermaid).
I found the whole thing so rehearsed and false and performed. Tailored to a gullible, fawning American public.
I got the feeling she’d been rehearsing her answers in the bathroom mirror since 2017.
Don’t get me started on her weird interjections about Private Secretaries being CEOs. WTF? And Christmas parties for tabloids in exchange for better press. And her refusal to use titles for any members of the family except the Queen but she was clearly royally fucked if at her own child not having one. The grandeur doesn’t mean much to me... says Meghan, living authentically, from her £10m house in California.
