Yes, I know that her mother Doria is a black woman, her father Thomas is a white man, who she was mainly raised by after their divorce.

I've been following her journey ever since she came on the scene since I was an avid Royal watcher. I liked her and was very excited that she was marrying Harry.

But my opinion is, which I guess is highly offensive, is that she hasn't embraced her black heritage until it's convenient. I think she's always dated white guys, white friends, white husband and so forth.

I think now she's lecturing me in a woke word salad, coming from a woman with enormous white privilege

I'm sorry my opinion is making you guys so upset but I'm entitled to it if you're going to bring her up here.

I'm not going to spend all day arguing about Meghan Markle.
