Selfish Meghan & Harry to blame, not ‘racist’ media
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle’s announcement they were to step down as senior royals while wanting to carve out a more “progressive” role within the monarchy stunned us all.
The couple desired, as it were, to get off the royal gravy train and become “financially independent”.
But as we’ve come to learn over the past three years, what the Sussexes say and what they do are habitually different things.
The reality is Harry and Meghan still want the British taxpayer to fund their lavish lifestyle but miss out on the gravy train’s boring stops that involve performing their public duty on a wet weekday in Wakefield.
The magnitude of their selfishness was of course lost on many of Meghan’s countrymen and women in America, whose idea of royalty are the Kardashians.
Instead they have been told the Duchess and her Prince Charming were driven out of the UK due to Meghan’s race.
Anyone reading the New York Times or watching CNN would think when the former actress entered the royal family she traded the Hollywood Hills for Buckingham bigotry.
That the rise of the far-right in America was nothing compared to a race hate epidemic spreading throughout Britain.
CNN’S Lisa Respers France wrote: “From the moment Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their relationship known to the public in 2016, the message many Britons sent to her was clear: ‘You aren’t one of us and you aren’t welcome.’”
While British commentator Afua Hirsch delighted in telling New York Times readers: “Black Britons know why Meghan Markle wants out.” Throughout her piece, she painted the UK as a country of deeply-rooted bigots jeered on by a racist press.
To prove her point, Hirsch pointed to how in one article the Duchess was said to have “exotic” DNA while another piece stated she grew up [almost] straight out of Compton as if she was some member of the Bloods or Cripps.
Apart from the fact only a genuinely skewered reasoning could interpret “exotic” DNA and living a few miles from one of the most troubled gang-infested areas of LA as a genuine slur, the idea the British media have consistently used racism towards Meghan is not only absurd but offensive.
What both Hirsch, Respers France and those who make similar arguments all conveniently overlook was the overwhelmingly fawning coverage the Duke and Duchess enjoyed from the news of their relationship to their wedding day.
All those articles attacking her supposed treatment failed to mention the couple’s fall from grace at their own hands.
Whether it be spending thousands on a New York baby shower on the same day they pleaded for people to think of the poor, to preaching to the public about global warming while flying around in private jets, the over-sensitive couple have only themselves to blame.
It is because of their selfish actions the British public now feel anger and resentment towards them.
What kind of game were they playing, from withholding details of Archie’s birth from supporters to not wanting anybody to know whom his godparents were.
Then there was the fact they decided to move from Kensington Palace away from his brother to a lavish taxpayer-funded and newlyrefurbished home.
Women like Princess Diana, Sarah Ferguson and Camilla Parkerbowles all had criticism far greater than Meghan, yet none of them turned their backs on the public or their duties.
