The royal family wouldn't protect me!


You hear this a lot among her biggest complaints about why she supposedly left the family. But close analysis by many who studied what happened and listened to insiders reveal that it was never about bodyguards and high fences around the palaces.

What Meghan wanted was to control the narrative about herself in the British press, despite the RF explaining to her that a.) they have no power to stop the press from writing whatever they want, and b.) they warned her the British press would be brutal to her, because they are like that with all VIP's, with members of the RF being their favorite target. She didn't believe them and then cried "unfair!" when what they warned her came to pass. And they don't discriminate either. Every member of the RF has been treated cruelly by the British media, even Princess Catherine.

In fact, the only protection the RF could afford her against the press was to put an injunction against every British news outlet NOT to talk about the truth behind her "pregnancies" and whether the kids are real or not. It was revealed in a covert conversation that the press and the royal family know everything about her, including all the secrets she hides or attempts to scrub from the internet. The only reason the RF hasn't allowed the press to say a word about whether Archie and Lilibet should be in the Line of Succession due to being born by surrogates or not, is because the truth would hurt the RF in the long run.

However, it's hinted that this injunction was put in by the Queen herself, and it doesn't extend to foreign presses, such as in America. King Charles could easily have it lifted...if he had the balls.

Living under that kind of a microscope has got to be absolute HELL. Her race did become a huge issue amongst the British Public and they were exceptionally cruel to her. The rest of the Royal family did get trashed constantly in the tabloids but it was nothing compared to what they did to her.

I wasn't paying attention to the royal family other than thinking that Catherine was sweet and their kids were cute but the Markel scandal could not have been ignored, it was always on the news and people were so vitriolic about her on chat boards.

I wish them well and hope that they can have a good and peaceful life as much as is possible.

RACISM

IMHO she and Harry had always intended to leave the royal family, Harry had been unhappy for years, and was willing to go with anyone who offered him a way out. Wealthy Chelsy Davy turned him down, but Meghan undoubtedly thought she could support them both in princely style through social media and monetizing their celebrity, and that's why the world's most eligible bachelor married a C-list nobody.

But she was clever enough to realize that if they wanted to be popular celebrities they'd need a better exit story than "We want to be rich famewhores", so they concocted this story about the royals being mean and racist. So she was clever enough to realize that leaving to be rich slackers wasn't going to win the hearts and minds of the public, but not clever enough to concoct a story that would stand up to scrutiny...

There are always two sides.

She's not innocent, if that's what you want to believe. Neither is the dimwit she married.
