I don’t understand this perspective at all I’m
afraid.
H and M are not more divisive than Andrew and Sarah when you look at the objective facts of what each couple have done.
There is also a lot to discuss in relation to A and S. Who knew about Andrew’s alleged illegal financial wrongdoings and who made the decision to cover them up?
Does no one care that our then head of state enabled a member of her family to potentially break the law and allegedly abuse trafficked women?
Are the trade envoy papers going to be released for public scrutiny? Has there been an investigation in to the alleged Chinese spy incident? Is there going to be a public enquiry?
I still believe the inappropriate level of vitriol aimed at Harry and Meghan is strategic in order to cover up much worse things within the core of the RF.
As has been said by pps on this thread, the Monarch will be protected at all costs; no wonder who becomes collateral damage.
Essentially, what it looks like is that, if you keep quiet within the RF, it doesn’t matter how you behave, you will be sheltered behind a wall of privacy. As long as you get away with it and it doesn’t become public knowledge, you will be protected by the palace machine. So you can allegedly be a philanderer while presenting a family first image, or exploit trafficked women, or even potentially break the law and commit fraud, as long as you don’t speak out, or be disloyal to the Crown, who will use their influence to enable you, or their wealth to protect you, and pay off people who are threatening to expose you in court, It really beggars belief!
But if you speak up publically against the RF, or criticise them in any way , or you don’t play ball, like Diana or Harry, your reputation is crushed, you are accused of having poor mental health, and you will find door after establishment door slammed in your face, You are briefed against globally and left discredited and exposed. Until you come to a deal with them not to speak out again and then relations thaw a little
It does make you wonder what the RF are keeping in the closet?
Presumably it is deemed good for the country that the UK has a monarchy because it lends tradition, stability, historical continuity etc? But all of that is undermined unless we are led by a head of state who is open, transparent and accountable. Not one who is willing to pay a large sum of money to stop evidence of sexual abuse emerging in court.
If the RF had any integrity at all they would not have paid Andrew’s settlement to Virginia Giuffre and they would have put an end to his trade envoy job the minute evidence of alleged fraudulent behaviour was confirmed.
Edited to add that, in summary; there’s plenty more questions for those set against H and M to discuss about A and S! Eg potentially serious wrongdoing and illegal behaviour that could extend right to the heart of the monarchy. They just deliberately choose not to do so because it might undermine their own beliefs that the late Queen and Charles & Co can do no wrong! They are choosing to believe the Palace spin and by focusing on H&M are ignoring far more important and serious questions.
