@tansy. So you are fine with how Meghan and Harry went about detaching themselves from the royals? Their behavior is fine with you, or only Harry's is not because Meghan gets a pass? Or what?

Here is the part I do not understand: there are other more minor royals who live fairly normal lives and fly under the radar most of the time. Edward and Sophie, for example. I don't think the press hounds them. They seem to live quiet lives and stay out of the news except for the occasional duty or family required events.

Is the issue that they don't want to live in the U.K.?

I'm sure none of us could fully understand all the factors involved here.  But one thing really stands out .... Meghan is the ONLY non-Caucasian there, and no one ever lets her forget it.

According to an analysis of her coverage, and favorability polls, racism is barely a factor. Most people just don't care.

Do you think people are really going to admit they don't care for her because they hold deep seated racist beliefs? lol

I don't get the skin color obsession.  I would never even know Meghan is bi-racial  if her race wasn't bandied about so much.  She doesn't have a skin color problem, she has a character problem.. She is an ungrateful selfish brat.  Unbelievable how disrepectful she is of the queen & causing all that drama.  And to take Archie away like that!   Harry picked a real doozy.

@tipsy This!! Her supporters seem to be easily as ready to keep pointing out her mixed race ethnicity as does any other faction. If no one can 'forget it', they would be a significant part of the reason why... My own belief is that her heritage has nothing to do with this situation she and Harry have created. They showed poor judgment, acted precipitously and have brought significant angst down on themselves and his family.
