Anyway, it’s a useful reminder that as much as Meghan tried to diminish the abuse Kate received from the press as just being unkindly dubbed “Waity Katey” actually she had an awful time of being besieged and harrassed by journalists and paparazzi (men in their 30s and 40s, almost exclusively ) who verbally abused her, stalked her, upskirted her, hacked her phone, deliberately tried to get revealing pictures of her when she was out having a a social life…often their behaviour was criminal. And yet as on this very page, it’s the young woman in her 20s who is labelled “disgusting” and “lacking in class” because of their behaviour.
And I am not diminishing the “death by clickbait” that Meghan received either, but I find the collective amnesia about this treatment of Kate ridiculous.
