In the last few days, the media has been a washed with the interview that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry granted Oprah Winfrey on the reason why they stepped down as senior members of the royal family. Before the interview became cold, the media(both social and traditional) was agog with majority talking about it and siding with the couple on all their claims especially the claim of institutionalized racism against the Royal Family by Meghan Markle.
It’s sad that this is an age where everything and anything can go viral just at the click of a button.
Let us dissect the issues:
Racism; Meghan claimed that a member of the Royal Family raised the issue of her son’s skin color while she was pregnant for him. She then went to say that he was denied a title because of this.
I am not in kindergarten. Even a child can see clearly that Meghan wants a title for her son and I am sure she knows that according to the British Constitution, her son was not entitled to the title of Prince because his great grandmother was still alive.
Prince Harry raised the issue of security which he claimed they were denied after quitting as Royals.
How does this couple not understand that when you quit a job, you loose all the perks that go with it. Did they honestly expect British or any country for that matter taxpayers to continue to fund their lifestyle when they are no longer working for them?
The issue of being suicidal came up. I have been suicidal when I was being bullied almost everywhere I went until I realized that that is the nature of people until you learn to stand up for yourself. When Meghan was flying across the atlantic for baby showers with celebrities, was she suicidal then? When the british press called them out for their hypocrisy for preaching about reducing carbon footprints while jetting out in private jets, they became racists.
Harry obviously wanted his father to continue to support them financially when they claimed they wanted to be independent. When Charles put his foot down, he became 'trapped' according to Harry's words. A prince who didnt want to be king but found himself with no choice. This is vendetta. Revenge. Harry had always blamed the Royal family and perhaps his father for the death of his mother. He had harboured revenge for so long and finally met a woman who could help him plan his revenge while making it look so innocent. Blackmail, all the while they where in los angeles mapping out their new life, they constantly goaded the queen week after week with their nonsense. It was as if they were daring her to react so that they could unleash their plan which is what they eventually did. Harry would never be king so why not destroy the monarchy while they are at it? it's no secret that he had always been jealous of his brother William for William's sensibleness and his stable family knowing fully well he could never be like him. I sincerely believe that all his former girlfriends refused to marry him when they saw the dark side of him hence meghan, his 'partner-in-crime'.
I blame the Royal family. They were warned before this marriage took place but they refused to listen. They gave meghan a multi-million dollar wedding, a house, house staff, a title but it wasnt good enough for an ex-divorcee, sex-scene actress, live-in-lover who got a third chance in life. She would never be queen. Why curtesy to the queen, it was against her human rights.
Finally she seemed to nail the coffin with the revelation of what happened between she and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. It was almost believable except for the fact that you never really believe that a manipulative person can ever be innocent but at least she seemed to come off lightly with that one. She was clearing her name. How many of her staff resigned within the first six months because of Meghan's behaviour. It's okay to be rude to staff but alas Kate made you cry. Her supporters do not think critically, they defend her actions without looking at everything on the table. Oh she's American, the British people are racists towards her. Meghan, if you keep having problems with everyone, then maybe you should ask yourself some hard questions.
Oprah, well done. It is believed you helped them land some lucrative deals so why not make money off them? The least you could have done was to be fair to all the parties involved and ask the right questions instead of pandering to them.
Before I round up, the issue of not being protected against the press also came up. Kate was also hounded by the press and it was her husband Prince William who protected her. Today Kate is loved by all in the UK. Maybe Harry did not do enough to protect you and maybe the palace kept quiet because they were disgusted by his choice of a wife, an older ex divorcee who has been around the block.
