Thoughts on the Meghan&Harry interview from a young Brit:
2) Why would you not research the most famous family in the world before marrying into it? Most people Facebook their other half’s family - let alone if it was the royal family!
3) Seems like a normal rift between family members with the bridesmaid dresses that was blown up by the UK media. I feel like Oprah is digging too much into it, Meghan mentioned multiple times that she has forgiven Kate.
4) British media is an embarrassment, imagine slandering someone over avocados. Meghan summed it up well Hero VS villain storyline.
5) Kind of feel like Meghan could have avoided most of this by researching the Royal Family however, can you blame a young woman in love?
6) Okay but Liz inviting Meghan to keep warm is cute!
7) Meghan being stuck in the house is exactly what happened with Diana, heartbreaking to see it happen again.
8) Very true there - they were quick to nip things in the bud when Andrew was a pedo but leg Meghan get slandered.
9) Americans please read into how the succession line works. Archie will not have a title until Charles becomes King due to the fact that he is the Queens great grandson who is too far down the line. That’s normal. However, he should still receive protection (before they left the royal family). I mean Meghan, it is their right to take it away...
10) She’s got a point about the tradition there although a lot of Brits saw that as going against what has been tradition for a while hence the backlash.
11) Oprah, babe, he was not not given a title because he is part black, he wasn’t given a title because of how the succession line works.
12) I bet it was old Charlie boy who talked about Archies skin colour, what a dick.
13) I think the danger of this is the whole royal family is gonna be painted as racist when that’s not the entire truth. The monarchy as an institution is built upon racism but it doesn’t mean every individual member of the family is racist. The Royal Family, mainly the queen I’m referring to here, blessed the marriage knowing full well they will have children. In my view it was one of the dickhead white guy uncles in the family.
14) I get upset when I receive criticism online for something, I can’t imagine how Meghan would feel knowing media of a whole country is slamming you constantly for no reason.
15) Meghan being denied help is classic Royal protocol, smile and wave and pretend we are okay. If you’ve seen the crown you know how the family covered up mental ill and disabled family members. Shameful on the part of the Royal Family, think they need a shake up and realise we don’t expect them to be perfect - seeing they hurt makes them more relatable.
16) Meghan talking about hiding her emotions is exactly what happened with Diana and it’s truly heartbreaking.
17) The Royal Family think they can scare people into silence, I’m glad they’ve spoken up - I hope the family reform rather than the monarchy split up.
18) Harry looking at that bump is AWWWWWW
19) ITS A GIRL!!!!!! Yay very happy for them
20) I think the line between family and business it’s dangerously blurred in the Royal Family.
21) Harry made a good point - risk and threat hasn’t changed they should be protected. However, British protection is paid for by British tax payers so why should we pay when they don’t live here?
22) British media is vicious.
23) I’m concerned about Harry in that sun, please use sun screen hun.
24) ‘This is just how it is’ is a very dangerous way to live.
25) I genuinely think the Queen is gutted about the situation and really loves Meghan and Harry but she is forced into the role of being Queen - again the line bearer family and business is blurred.
26) Prince Charles is just, wow, he is such a privileged tosh. I can’t stand him. Dear Americans, the British truly hate Charles.
27) Normalise emotions especially ill mental health in all families! I think that’s a British thing.
28) Very sad to see how the Royal Family are kept so closely under view that they couldn’t even stand up against racism. However again, would you not rather stand up against racism than be part of it? It’s a very tricky conversation this and if we are never involved we’ll never know how deep it goes. I think Oprah summed it up well, one can’t survive without the other.
29) 100% believe jealously played a part. The Royal Family really need to take a hard look at themselves and figure out what they find is more important. Meghan shined and they didn’t like it - exactly the same as Diana.
30) Megxit is kinda smart ngl. But Meghan has a good point though, she left everything for him - why would she manipulate him? However, I do thing she deeply miscalculated how much the royal family needs from you as a person. Also the whole national anthem thing there, again I think that’s a mistake on Meghans behalf - although there should be some support. Again, I like Prince Harry’s honesty. I think a lot of Brits are annoyed because Meghan didn’t follow British customs and behaviour however, it’s not her fault if she didn’t receive that support.
31) From a British point of view, I think some people are upset with Meghan purely because she’s an American who has shaken up the British Royal Family, I can’t lie that annoyed me to begin with but I only had the British media to rely on.
32) Again, I truly believe the Queen wants to try and be a grandmother but is forced into the role of queen.
33) Also, Charles can fuck off imagine ignoring your son when he’s struggling so much.
34) ‘Do what they’re told’ - I think again the people around the Royal Family call the shots and the members of the Royal Family are just the puppets and face of it all. I think the difference should be distinguished and taken into account.
35) The media portrayed it as family vs family when in fact it was family vs business. It’s sad really when you look at it all.
36) Harry’s charity and military work should be kept as his. He put in that work, he should be given the glory.
37) Royal children really miss out on decent childhoods however I do think Kate and William are trying their best.
38) I think space with William is good, William is going to be king one day and is going down the route that Harry found toxic.
39) I think there were mistakes made on both sides of this argument but it was made tragic by the disgusting British media.
40) I’m going to end on this - you can still see Harry is conditioned not to answer truthfully, you can see how difficult he finds it to answer these questions with honesty. It goes to show there is a bigger power behind the scenes and these members are born into and conditioned to act a certain way.
