Thumbs up New Douglas article in NY Post

Meghan Markle is a US culture-war missile aimed at the heart of Britain and Europe



America’s culture wars are an export the rest of the world doesn’t thank you
for — especially we Britons, who are now saddled with a living embodiment
of those wars in the figure of Meghan Markle.

By sending her our way, American culture has fired a woke missile right into
the heart of the British establishment. She’s a one-woman family
destroyer,
only in this case, the family in question happens to form one
of Europe’s most venerable and ancient institutions.

For years, Markle has had virtually no relationship with any of her own
family. It seems that she wants to ensure that her husband, Prince Harry,
similarly has no relations with his. She has sought to sever his blood ties
through the medium of Oprah Winfrey.

During their interview, Markle showed herself to be a far better actress than
her minor TV career might ever have suggested. In her two-hour special, she
posed, preened, emoted and made constant unsubstantiated claims.
Worst was her claim that someone in the family had asked Harry what he
thought their first-born might look like. This was immediately asserted by
both Meghan and Oprah to be an example of “racism.”

Was it? I very much doubt it. If one of the royals had said anything actually
racist, then Markle would have used it to get another wheelbarrow of cash in
another of her high-profile attempts to avoid the limelight. As it was, she
relied on innuendo.

YET ANOTHER heaving water-balloon full o....... ... ....

Yet another load of misogynistic hyperbole painting Meghan Markle as some sort of cackling evil genius. It's just not even vaguely realistic, is it.

Her outright lies and innuendos in extremely topical and sensitive subjects especially were designed to fire up anti - monarchists and the ultra woke into a frenzy of indignation on her behalf. It worked on most American's but just some at home (unfortunately for her she underestimated us) who took it all in as the gospel truth.
Talk about being played....

Oh I don't know Annie...I think they are well suited and get what they need from each other....for now.
I think that having estranged themselves from both their extended families where a lot of hurt and bitterness will be there for a long time, if not forever, and being surrounded with the shallowness and dog - eat - dog of celebrity, the marriage could eventually suffer.
But who can say?

You certainly think a lot of her jet - such a clever, calculating genius that she staged the entire plan from start to finish, every last aspect, and it's all gone off perfectly without a hitch! Not one Royal noticed what she was up to until it was too late. Not one member of their extensive staff could stop her on her machiavellian crusade . A truly reMarkable individual right? I'm glad you finally see it too...

Imagine pulling the wool over the eyes of the royal family so spectacularly.

The queen we all deserve

Not sure from start to finish - I'v speculated of course and changed my mind several times about the starting point. But a grifter going after a vulnerable man and hooking him so nobody could ever change his mind doesn't have to be a genius, hmmm, right?
I think William had his doubts when he said to Harry "Don't think you have to rush things Harry, take your time to get to know this girl".

The way people speak about her you’d expect her to constantly be stroking a white cat on her lap, it’s honestly ridiculous

Note that THIS video was published 2 days before the interview aired

You're way behind - there was a thread about this days ago. All but one (who nobody has ever heard of) are royal authors, not Royal reporters or commentators and never have been.
Edit - one is not a Royal author but a long retired press secretary to the Queen.

Illustrates the general mindset quite well I think - all had made up their minds before even seeing it. Its called confirmation bias: you'll see what you want to see.

I agree with what BOTS said: "they weren't caught lying. They were invited to comment before they had seen the video using their judgement on what they speculated it would contain. Big difference."

.....and my goodness, when I watched it again afterwards their speculations were so spot on you'd swear they HAD seen it.
They had her measure, just like most of the UK public do who are over 24 (according to all the polls, 18 - 24's is where the majority of their support comes from).

They were caught lying, they presented the information as what they had seen, not what they expected to see. I'm unsurprised by the tedious denial, though.

As for it being "so spot on you'd swear they had seen it", see above re: confirmation bias.

I've still yet to have anyone link me to one of these polls, also, their validity depends entirely on where it was that ran the poll.

Who would have thought that people with an irrational hatred of someone who doesn't really affect their lives at all do so in bad faith. I'm shocked, truly.

The endless oxymorons around Meghan Markle are a scream in themselves. She's just 'some actress' that's too big for her boots, but when the narrative calls for it, she's some sort of James Bond-esque Femme Fatale that's out to ensnare a prince and destroy life as we knows it, but she's not that smart, she's just a gold digger after all, but you can't underestimate her because she's a culture war missile out to nuke everything we know and love!!!!
