Why is there more online vitriol towards Megan Markle than Andrew?

[ladykale]

I find it ridiculous how there is consistent hate towards Megan markle when she does pretty low key things like launching jam that no one is being forced to buy. People were delighted that she is no longer using HRH titles and even said she shouldn’t call herself the Duchess of Sussex (even though that is distinct from royal titles).

On the flip side - NO ONE has called for an actual investigation into Prince Andrew on the days that he claimed to be at Pizza Express in Woking, when his movements are logged by the royal gamily and his security detail so they eill
know exactly where he was!

He slept with an underage victim of sex trafficking who
conveniently died by suicide shortly before her memoir naming and shaming many individuals came out.

Limited criticism of the late Queen who used £12million
pg her personal money to pay off an underage sec trafficking victim & shielded him from any investigation.

Disgusted by it all and was amused to see the vitriol on an article about Megan breathing, whereas limited calls for Andrew to be investigated by any U.S or UK authorities!

WHY?

Easy, one word: racism.

Some posters seem to labour under the delusion that anyone who criticises Meghan and Harry is some sort of super-royalist. If you think that, a lack of interest in Andrew would be harder to understand - even though it’s still a silly argument because a) there is plenty of interest in Andrew b) the anti-Sussex people don’t defend, condone or excuse Andrew and c) I don’t see royalists of any stripe saying ‘yes Prince Andrew is completely fine, if we have a royal family they can do what they like, look over there at Meghan and Harry’.

You may think I am shockingly lowbrow but for me, Meghan and Harry provide entertainment with their bizarre behaviour and choices. It’s fun to read what others think about them.

What about those of us who aren’t white?

🙄 that’s just a weak use of a powerful word just to shut people down. It’s been said on this thread that there are loads of threads about the disgusting PA, from many angles. I don’t recall seeing many, if any, that are supportive of him. MM and PH actively promote themselves, put loads of stuff in the press, most of which is to promote themselves or to put others down, and of course, to try to get their own way (mainly PH and his need for greed / self importance) … I’m sure some people don’t like either PA, MM or PH due to racism, but the majority just see bad behaviours and call them out

Nicely put.

that’s just a weak use of a powerful word just to shut people down

No it really isn’t!

Seconded.

Firstly, the comment about ‘racism’ from the PP was clearly pointed to the MN posters, not the monarchy being racist.
secondly, that is hardly an unbiased group! You need a bit more critical thinking in your responses

Given your ranting about how others post, @ChatHeeBeeGez6298, is there a reason that you are nowhere to be seen on the Andrew threads?

I suspect that very valid point will be ignored @Indianrollerbird

Jealousy seems to be the preferred explanation.

See Sophie Chandauka who was accused of having her nose put out of joint because she was not the most important woman of colour...

Prince Harry Ally’s Racialized Swipe at Woman Who Called Him a Bully

Yes, because 50 something me wished the ugly, thick, racist, much younger Harry had spotted me in the queue at TK Maxx, decided this old P* scrubs up well, and asked me to rub Elizabeth Arden onto his todger, whilst singing to seals and channelling his mother in a downward dog pose. My envy knows no limits! Us brown girls will take any white man - thick, racist, addict, mental health patient, mother fixated, it really doesn’t matter. Our own accomplishments mean nothing if we’re not bagging a Harry 🙄

Jealousy?! I thought Hazza was desperate to get hitched but ladies kept turning him down?! Harry really isn’t a prize of any merit, can you imagine trying to have an intelligent conversation with him? Would you just cringe when going out with him, his w entitlement, superior narcissistic ways he approaches anyone who dares say no, toy throwing, drug habit .. I’m very happy to be married to my more ordinary man, 30 years of mainly happiness, a few bruises along the way we tackled together … as for that comment about Dr C not being the most inportant poc on stage …. What the fuck does Markle bring to the world that’s so fabulous?! At least Sophie has a great track record in her career, hasn’t relied on marrying, hateful mud slinging drip fed to the papers for her own PR. Sophie has just done her job, she said no, and they don’t like it!

Why wouldn’t Sophie Chandauka want to be the centre of attention at her own event? Why wouldn’t this beautiful, highly accomplished, African chair of an African charity, to which her family is a large donor, want to be at the heart of an event she organised? Is this some sort of reverse feminism/covert racism? Accomplished black woman needs to stand back, and let a gatecrasher who has no role within the organisation or the event other than “wife”, dictate the proceedings. Exactly who are the racists here, because it’s not those of us who support Ms Chandauka.

👏👏👏👏

IMHO, the real racists have given themselves away with their own comments.

"blue blue blue eyes"

"I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that should this go the distance and we have kids that there's no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife's genes, but I was wrong!"

"She's not black or anything, you know."

Yes quite. Why should Harry’s genes have to “stand up” to Meghan’s? Are her African American genes aggressors? What’s he afraid of? Doesn’t he like her brown eyes, Afro hair and olive skin? Why wouldn’t you want your children to inherit the beautiful genes of their mother and grandmother and look like them? Why did he express relief (on the Colbert show) that his colouring prevailed? Why do all the Sussex supporters who complain about a “too white” royal balcony think the Sussexes themselves want it to be any less white, when they make comments like these?

The Meghan and Harry lovers are generally the ones firing the insults because they don’t have the ability to generate a reasoned point!

Absolutely this! Throwing insults / false accusations all over the place because they can’t discuss or disprove 🤣

Tell me then please, why is her trip to a pumpkin patch attracting so much criticism?
It’s a perfectly innocent trip out such as any family with young dc would do. Hardly worthy of snide comment I would have thought?

Her outfit is obviously more worthy of comment than whether Andrew will face criminal charges! 😁

I neither know nor care. I’ve avoided it.

Does she need to publicise it? Does the world need to know?

Criticism on here or toxic places like Twitter? What are the main issues I haven't read anything about it yet.

Bullshit. Stupid thing to say. There is zero evidence of this.

I couldn’t care less if she was striped pink and purple. I dislike her behaviour and attitude.

It’s currently mid to late 20’s Celsius at the moment in California … so why the ridiculous autumnal country wear fit for the UK weather ?! It’s all about the PR / show / grim fairy tales!

Could it be that she’s just very, VERY annoying?

Just a thought 😀!
