Royal Fandom Positivity Project ↠ [129/∞]
I’ve spent a LONG LONG time debating making Ash’s post because I just know the drama it will bring but I fully stand by my decision - @middletonandmarkle
Ash has been a member of this fandom for a long time and when Harry and Meghan announced their engagement, I celebrated with her. Last year, when Meghan had Archie, she made comments about her suspicions over the pregnancy - she thought maybe Meghan had used a surrogate. When this exploded the first time, I reached out to Ash. I never thought Meghan had used a surrogate but I could see how easily someone, especially one who is tired and stressed, could become caught up in the toxicity surrounding Meghan’s pregnancy and begin to believe it. I wanted her to know that I always thought she was a good person, and I would be there for her and her mental health, especially as she wasn’t being cruel or hateful.
More importantly, shortly afterwards, after stepping away from Sussex blogging for a short while, Ash stated she was wrong. She categorically stated she believed Meghan had carried Archie and given birth to him and she apologised to Meghan, Harry, Archie, and Sussex fans for suggesting otherwise. She explained her reasoning and has firmly supported the Sussexes ever since (far more than I do!!). Ash creates edits which are made with love and she chose to stay in a fandom that still punishes her to this day. She adores Kate and she adores Meghan and she would die for George, Charlotte, Louis, and Archie. The Ash of last April/May would not have been in this project but the Ash of 2020 100% deserves to be.
