Progressive symbolism of the royal wedding: the homeless shuffled out of view so that Meghan in a £40,000 dress could have her special day.

She is rotten in suits

The abuse a woman gets for marrying a man she loves is bizarre, what’s even more bizarre is the abuse her husband gets for defending and prioritising his family, alternate universe kind of stuff

The same men that will act like tough guys when you mention their families, suddenly think it's ok to make stuff up and gossip about another man and his family. Weirdos.

Princess Diana wasn't a quitter. She did what she saw as her duty right up to the end.

Dodi*.

Damn autocorrect

It's like Princess Diana was split into two - Princess Kate has the "beloved people's princess" thing going on, while Markle has the "being hounded by the press" half of it.

She's keeping her own name in the paper with her law suit.

Harry only pops back to tell us we're all racist. Harry... who was sent on a diversity course from Sandhurst.

I don't care enough about her to know what the lawsuit is about, but if the papers have either spread mistruths or leaked personal things she didn't want out there, she has every right to sue

[bots]

i don't consider either of them in the least bit interesting or news worthy now. They have left the royal family, they have left the UK .... i just don't care what either of them is saying or doing

She gets written about in a negative way because of leaks to the press on her behaviour from inside the palace....and her not wanting to conform to Royal tradition. Diana was hounded, even Kate was hounded . I have never seen Meghan have to fight her way past press completely alone in the street like Diana and Kate....

[Crimson Dynamo]

I find them a horrible couple who represent all that is wrong with this vile woke leftist fakers

Good on Diana for not giving up, that doesn’t mean other people have to tolerate the abuse, if people were actually criticising her for the things she actually did and not for gossip from the rags, fair enough, but people bought into an image of her that was portrayed by a biased press, she never did anything wrong, people hate her because of made up things people read in the press and obviously, a lot of people hated her for the colour of her skin.

Just because one person put up with it, doesn’t mean everyone has to, good on her for knowing her worth and walking away from something that was making her and her family miserable and good on Haz for sticking by her and putting her and his son first, a gorgeous couple

...Because Diana lived so long in a ‘marriage of 3 people’ and was so unhappy, I think that she would be so, so happy for him that he chose his love and relationship over Royal duties.....

He’s a real man and husband, he definitely didn’t learn that from his father!

They fled the country so the least the press can do is leave them be.

They literally got what they wanted, she’s gone, yet they still harass and abuse her, it’s sad, I hope she takes them to the cleaners

It's not likely

Megan Markle could 'do her duty' until it killed her and people will find reasons to hate her because of her race.

True, however it's not about race for everyone. I'm a proud anti-royalist and have absolutely no time for any of them, their race, hair colour, gender means nothing to me.

I'm 100% anti-royalist too but I can still see that Megan Markle has been taking a ridiculous level of flak and abuse from certain people compared to the rest of 'em, and there has to be a reason for that. For some it's her race. For some it's that they don't think she's "royal material" because she's "just some yank actress". For some it's a varying combination of the two (black from money would have been ok, white american actress would have been OK, but the combination of the two is too much).

For some others it's simply that she talks too much and they want their royal women quiet and compliant.


Either way... there's a huge number of people that have their knickers in a twist about Megan getting on with her day whilst not giving a stuff that the Queen is using her privilege to defend her probable-sex-predator son. Really dystopian stuff tbh.


But yeah... I feel like Megan Markle is being unfairly singled out, AND at the same time I think the whole thing is a sad mess that should have ended over half a century ago.

Pretty much every I dotted and every t crossed.

However, the argument that she's not liked because she's not Kate because "Kate is independent" is one I hadn't heard before though and has really made me laugh tonight. Probably the best justification I've heard.

[Josy]

State of this thread... honestly you are all as bad as each other.

I've cleaned up, stick to the thread topic and stop with the personal comments. Thanks.

[rusticgal]

Meghan is a very independent woman. Diana grew into a very independent woman. Kate has grown in her role and been respectful in her duties. She has been discreet and respectful to her husband and the Royal family in her role as future Queen and she is loved for that.
Perhaps the difference with Meghan is that she wanted to be different...she came into the Royal family as a mature woman but wanting to stand out as an independent woman and because of that she rebelled imo and didn’t want to be told what to do and how to behave. I believe Harry to be quite immature...He should have given Meghan time to adapt...and see that her life would change dramatically as the wife of a prince but in time she could come into her own. She was advised by her own friends to think hard about her decision...but she didn’t listen. Now she’s blaming everyone else...
They have made their decision but it’s one I think Harry will live to regret.
