I understand being uncompelled by Meghan Markle's experiences with royals

145. Interesting interview

Sorry but I cannot feel really bad for Harry and Meghan. They are getting everything they wanted, they are uber-rich, and have all of the attention they crave.

I do not believe the Royal Family is racist as a group. The queen certainly is not. Prince Phillip has had his moments, but his remarks were mostly about Asians, although this does not excuse him. The Royals have had at least two biracial queens; Queen Charlotte, wife of George III and Queen Phillipa, wife of Edward III.

Yes, there are racists in Britain, just as there are racists in the US. No doubt there are racists in the family.

Prince Harry is not perfect. I remember his antics when he was younger, including dressing up as a Nazi. I do sympathize with his not wanting his wife to go through what his mother suffered, but she was not an innocent either. She went on TV and trashed Prince Charles and as a Licensed Psychologist I can attest to the fact she had a Borderline Personality Disorder which made her quite unstable.

The Royals have status, wealth and privilege and when becoming a member of this family I would expect there are rules and limitations. If Meghan did not want to live with that it is fine, but she should have known this before she married Harry.

Oh, and the tabloid press was despicable to her. Just like they are despicable to every one in the spotlight. Yes, it was wrong, but it was also not unexpected. The press had done this to Royals before like Princess Margaret, Princess Diana, and Fergie.
