I have a feeling there will be some serious reform in how the royal family interfaces with the media after this. I don't often praise Buzzfeed but they did a good job here

That's really fucked up

Is it xenophobia because she's American - or racism because she's half black? Probably both.

Definitely both, with a touch of classism added in

I think another factor (possibly the biggest one IMO) is the perception in the media that she's a preachy, "woke" liberal (and also that she's "infected" Harry with her politics). All these publications are right-wing and are vicious towards those they perceive as being like the above. They're best used as toilet paper (or not bought in the first place).

If given the chance, wouldnt you want to be royalty? Dont say no, because that's a lie. Everyone wants to be royalty.

Clearly Meghan and Harry don't want to be royalty, there's a reason they're stepping back from their duties.

Nah, it's a poisoned chalice. The money isn't worth the lack of freedom (in some areas at least), the scrutiny / lack of privacy, etc. I wouldn't want to be famous or mega-rich either. A few million in the bank for some security is all I need.

If my life was terrible, then maybe it'd be different, but I'm content with my current circumstances. Better the devil you know.

That said, I don't feel *that* sorry for her. I just think the vitriol she receives is over-the-top.
