80. One night during a fit of insomnia, I found myself on youtube. If you google Hate videos/Meghan,

you'll see hundreds of videos, made by lonely, unattractive, hateful women, telling all about their hatred for Meghan. Some of the reasons included:

Meghan "took Harry" away from them.
Harry cares more for Meghan and Archie than for his adoring subjects.
Harry is cuckolded and embarrassing.
Meghan is an actress playing a part, and will tire of Harry soon enough.
She only married him to get a big, fancy princess wedding that the taxpayers paid for.
Archie wasn't hers biologically.
Archie has cross-eyes and Down Syndrome.
Meghan had Archie in private because the London hospital wasn't good enough for her.

On and on. The Brits are a strange breed. If I were her, I'd have left much earlier.
BTW, I teach a world history course, and the monarchies of old Europe have always fascinated me. But I never thought I'd see it play out in modern times.

Im so glad she and Harry are getting out of that mess.... samnsara Jan 2020 #1
