I’m so confused. She’s been literally caught lying on multiple occasions in front of us all.
She complains of how badly she was treated by the press and that it must be racism and how they didn’t want “history to repeat itself” - ie Diana was haunted and hunted and treated appalling by the press, which, whether you were a fan or not, can’t be denied. But there’s a few things I just can’t wrap my head around…
Diana was white. Was Meghan treated worse by the press? No. So it isn’t something exclusive to her so why is racism always what they blame it on?
secondly, she was absolutely fawned over by the press! Like every article was how amazing she was, how stunning she was.
she got engaged quickly and got given a multi million pound massive bloody wedding from this awful institution who she was treated so badly by. I mean, I’d love to be treated so badly by a disapproving boyfriend’s family!
she said she couldn’t leave the palace yet went on like three trips during that time. Stayed at Elton johns. Flew to NYC for a baby shower.
she refused to say who made this remark about the baby’s skin tone - but just cos your granny Mabel is an ignorant racist old twat doesn’t mean you are - so it seems unfair and snide to essentially say one person said something racist but I’m not gonna tell you who so they can all be tarred with the same brush. But gosh, I dunno, maybe William and Kate are awful bigots who deserve it. Seems pretty unlikely though in reality doesn’t it?
Plus being in a particular ‘category’ (black,woman, gay or whatever) doesn’t necessarily put you in a position of having no privilege.
for example, Oprah talks about how being black impacted her and it makes for pretty painful listening. Now Meghan certainly will have suffered some because of her skin tone. But she was also incredibly “privileged “ (hate that word) in many many ways. And in ways many people of all backgrounds won’t ever be able to experience. (And this was before the prince) I’m sorry, I just don’t understand how you can stand there complaining about your lot when there are girls living in run down shit holes all over this country whose parents neglect them, have no education opportunities, no future prospects to reach for. It seems so tone deaf (hate that phrase)
although not as bad as her husband (the prince of England) sitting across from oprah in that mental health Netflix thing - Oprah: I had to sleep on the porch because the woman who took me in didn’t like how black I was.
Harry: Mmm yes, my dad treated me badly because he didn’t like my wife. He only let us have a 32 million pound wedding and then when I quit my job he cut me off to live only on my own personal millions.
oh and not to mention the fact they’ve branded every single one of us racist. Neither a journalist, nor the royal family, speak for me or represent my views. Yet Harry and Meghan feel it’s ok to make sweeping statements that brand us ALL as bigots.
so how are they such heros? What are they doing that’s so revolutionary?
if he was a woman, and what has happened has happened everyone would be crying emotional abuse. She’s cut him off from his entire family and he does nothing but witter on in an obsessive, weird, quite uncomfortable manner about “my wife”. My wife this, my wife that, it’s odd. And screams controlling. Especially when you acknowledge the fact that background doesn’t necessarily mean position of power in a relationship. I mean, he’s a white male prince of England but I think not many would say he is mentally stronger than her. She is a powerhouse. He comes across as weak little boy with a lot to work through.
