In reply to the discussion: Black Britons Know Why Meghan Markle Wants Out [View all]Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)The things the tabloids have written about her are mind-shattering. It started before they were even married. People loosely affiliated with the monarchy have climbed out of the sewers to make all kinds of repulsive comments. It never stopped. And even the wee baby, Archie, was not immune to repugnant remarks: some wanker on the BBC liken the child to a chimpanzee. A chimpanzee !?! I've seen pictures of the infant. He looks NOTHING close to that, but to even SAY something like that is reprehensible. No one would have said that if Meghan wasn't bi-racial.
The one thing that shocked me was the total lack of support Harry and Meghan received from the Royal family itself. They could have stopped this filth in a cold minute. But they never did.
I think Harry finally said 'enough," and wanted to protect his wife and son because it was clear that no one else was going to step up and do so, including the "senior" royals. And now, they're falling all over themselves in "confusion" and "disappointment." Were they really so fucking blind ?? Conveniently so.
Harry saw a pattern repeating itself . . . coming full circle and said "No."
All the best to the couple.
