Catherine faced real vitriol in the press too. It’s taken her a very long time to get them on side.
The criticism of Meghan was not primarily a race thing although I don’t deny there might have been the odd story or comment here and there with a racist angle. But overall, it was nothing of the sort.
Going further back Diana had a tough time with the press, but nothing compared to Ferguson who was ridiculed and lambasted.
Meghan wasn’t even viewed as black by many people as she’s so light-skinned.
Women joining the royal family are universally battered by the press. I’m not defending that as right but I’m pointing out that it wasn’t something exclusive to Meghan because of her race.
And of course, let’s not forget that Meghan invited more criticism when she chose to go on Oprah and tell a bunch of lies, before doing a documentary and mocking the Queen. It was open season on her after that, and of course, Harry too.
It’s extremely disingenuous to try and claim she gets a hard time because of her race. If that were true it would be despicable but generally, it’s simply not the case. She’s behaved poorly and reaping the rewards.
