When Meghan weds Harry, Britains relationship with race will change for ever

4. Ugh.

It's a forlorn hope, but I wish people - and more particularly the media - would just leave them alone, rather than projecting great expectations and significance on their every move.

Especially given the revolting hypocrisy around the treatment of Harry's mum, who veered from the youthful "People's Princess," to bitter, vengeful, controversial royal wife whose image and antics sold vast numbers of copies of the scandalsheets, to the flower-strewn hyped-up funeral for she who became all of a sudden again "The People's Princess", attended by many of those who eagerly lapped up the tales of her misery, once the paparazzi had hounded her to her grave.

I'm a Brit, and not a royalist. Most of the folks who pay attention to the royals on DU are far more royalist than the friends and neighbors I speak to every day.

I'm not going to threadcrap every time this comes up on DU, but I'm indifferent.

If it can help promote social change, I'm all for it, but different rules always apply to the rich and privileged.
