Did she divorce her former husband because of racism too?

Is that racism that made Meghan have issues with her biological father and her own family too?
How many of her family members did you see at her wedding? Tell me.

Megan's former husband dumped her and ran. Her father ran, her own family ran.
Shebi it is towtow that isn't allowing Harry reason straight, she would wreck him and dump him.

Her father abandoned her mother and she decided not to have anything to do with him so what's the fuss

Surely you must realize that when people don't like you, it really won't matter if you're doing nothing wrong, they would still find a way to make you look bad.

The bias against Meghan was watered by none other but herself. You can see one of the articles you posted called her 'dictatorial', they may not be far from the truth.

I followed the whole ruckus leading up to their wedding in 2018 up until the wedding itself. You should not take my word for it though, you could make some findings on your own regarding just how much she tried to break almost every protocol regarding how the wedding should go.
A lot of things were changed/altered just to accommodate her preferences - from the flower choices, to the aisle leading up to the alter that was made wider because it's what she wanted, etc.. There was a lot more which I can't even recall off the top of my head.

Now no one is saying she couldn't have creative control over her own wedding, but when you marry into a monarchy that has a certain way of doing things in keeping with age-long traditions as old as her own ancestors, then she probably should have simmered down a little. She got what she wanted most of the time because the monarchy were happy enough to make Diana's little boy happy, but she took it too far and got used to it.
After the wedding, she kept trying to get them to do things her way and most of the time she would get it, but guess what, the British people only resented her for it because she was now effectually implying that their ways of doing things was not good enough for her, her own way was better...it wasn't just an emotional bride trying to make her wedding day perfect anymore, this was a woman who had no respect for the Monarchy and its ways. She confirmed what they already suspected and gave oxygen and water to the bias already working against her. And to make it worse, she was not even that big a celebrity in Hollywood in the first place.

This kind of resentment will obviously make them troll her at every given opportunity...no one holds a grudge more than the British.

If say, a single never divorced well brought-up Beyoncé (still black and American) was the one who married into the royal family, she may even get a softer landing than Meghan. If a Beyoncé DIL wanted the Queen MIL to dance single ladies inside Buckingham Palace, she may have gotten away with it, just because she is a Beyoncé. Get my point?

Meghan already had everything working against her from the start - previous failed marriage, dysfunctional family set-up, being biracial, and an American actress (not even an A-list, which may have been a plus). The least she could have done to warm her way into the hearts and minds of the British people, is to at least appear that she gave a shit about the way things are done.

I'm NOT sorry to type this, but I will because it is what it is:
Meghan did not do Windsor a favor by marrying Harry, Windsor in fact did her a favor by allowing her become a part of their family and she should have acted accordingly and not take a mile when given an inch.

It's what it is.
Bla bla bla. Even with all the biased reportage, u still think she did something wrong. She did exactly what Kate did in many instances but the press have made up their mind to frustrate her because of race. We don't even know what went down in private. Your reference to flowers even make you sound like the British press. She used the EXACT same flowers and they called hers poisonous. She didn't wear a hat like Kate and yet she was disrespectful while they acted like Kate didn't have a head sef. Your writeup is so lengthy. Do you want us to ignore all the press evidences comparison directly from the British press? She is not British. She is black. Forget all the analysis you made.

Bro those things you take for granted just because they happen far away from where you live can have a serious impact at your domain. The world is a global village like they said.

What doesn't kill a man eventually makes a man. Those things from their palaces already had serious impacts on the domain called Nigeria. Now we are looking to reduce such impacts while they are preoccupied with brexit and megxit. We can't be concentrating on either or both for fun. We got to looking at it relative to our position and objectives. I feel your drift, though.

She has been called a gold digger and all sort - this is a lady that was already a millionaire in dollars. Alot don't even have up to an equivalent of $100 in their accounts grin

Kate was groomed by her family to target William for marriage. So what if Meghan wanted a wealthy man? Meghan made her own money and fame from nothing. She had her own wealth in her own right, even though it was not as much as a royal. What has Kate ever done in her entire life except set herself up to be desired by William and give birth to kids like a baby factory. Yet, Meghan is not good enough. Rubbish and racism.

It's what it is.

Your submissions are totally based on "may-be". They called her dictatorial but can we really ride on that seeing that the same media had, prior to then, written all manner of baseless stuff against her? Isn't it obvious they would call her anything? You just picked one that could fuel your argument. If she were dictator, she wouldn't want to leave royalty. It doesn't add up.

Again, it's marriage. A man walked up to a woman and the woman accepted him. No one did anyone a favour. Meghan was a successful actress and obviously isn't even interested in royalty. The press is being racist and that's pretty much obvious. Your reaction is what they're aiming for. A woman holds her own tommy and you call it pride. This whole discussion even weakens the masculine gender cause people are making it look as if Harry is senseless and can't take a decision on his own in his best interest.

Nobody should live his/her life in a cage forever. She accepted some royalty, royalty should have accepted some of her. You and I don't know the sacrifices she must have made on her own part to fit into royalty. We are only judging from afar and we think that should be easy cause, after all, royalty is supposed by be blissful.

If the two consenting adults have decided to move, the best we can do is to let them be. We mustn't always blame the women for everything.

While some of you are busy forming happy on their behalf, the Prince says the opposite and expressed how he truly feels about the whole situation.

How you or anyone can be happy for someone who is deeply saddened, is beyond all human comprehension.

If a white person mixes with any other race, the children automatically look more like that race than white.

This is the case for Chinese, Indian, black, Arab, everybody. Thats why they categorise it that way, because their race immediately becomes diluted when they mix.
diluted ? Lol and who then get to tell you how dilluted it has be for a mixed person to be referred to as white? You or the white man?

Re: How The British Press Reported On Meghan And Harry by Adakintroy2: 8:31am On Jan 21, 2020
Americans naturally are dominant.they like to see the world from there own unique perspective. They hide behind the guise of freedom, But its a form of freedom that put there own ideal of "what freedom is" as absolute! Leaving no room for others to express theres. Which in a way is a form of tyranny.

Meghan knew the tradition of the place before she went in. She should respect it. I hate this pretense naivity. She did not know what she was getting herself into. After she has gotten her fantasy wedding with millions of photographers lining up. News media running the story for weeks. She a global icon all curtesy of the royal palace. She could not wait around to pay back the favour or pretend to like the place. It's a shame. Everyone knows her now. I feel sorry for harry. He just going to end up like rob from the kadashian and black china thing. When this desperate power seeking tree climbing woman is done with him,. He will fall back to his family. Any woman who seek to gain from a family establishment but want non of the burden that family brings is for lack of better term an hypocrite.

Aside she understand that harry is far in line of succession. So why wait around.

Anyways. Both Harry and Megan have moved on, atleast for the next one year as agreed by the Queen. The best we can do is wish them well.

Harry, Meghan and Achie moved to one of the most expensive and secluded area in Vancouver, and the house they are moved to had a price tag of $36million.

They made a right choice by selecting Canada. No one is really going to disturb them here. Canadians don't care aslong as tax payers are not footing the bill.

They would often visit the UK to check on the rest of the Royal family. Prince Charles Will also "Offer Private Financial Support" to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle; hence, no more public funds which is actually a good thing. Prince Charles already cut Harry a check of £2.5 million for starters.
