essentially killed his mother, good for them getting away from all this.

this was going on before they married. Did they think it would stop or get better at some point?

Meghan isn't a naive young woman and Harry knows full well what the Brit press is capable of. She knew exactly what she was marrying. They should have had an escape plan already worked out with The Firm prior to marriage and certainly before having a child. This isn't a sudden issue. What Harry and Meghan have done is messy and immature.

Especially privileged rich people. Yes I'm talking about Harry and Meghan.

Or that rich people can’t experience racism?

She knew this going in though. While I support the split and wish them happiness, the sympathy play is unnecessary.

Rich people problems.

I just heard the Queen has given them her blessing. Good. Maybe now the drama will die down.

Or that people shouldn’t have a conversation about race in a colonial empire? Or that people above a certain income level or status should just deal with the racism they get?

She's not an idiot, I'm sure her and her husband knew the press would be an issue going into the marriage. Apparently, she assumed she could handle it or she wouldn't have walked down the aisle. I assume he husband thought the same.

But things change. They're making a decision based on what has transpired since the marriage.

a royal wedding and baby could have turned things around media-wise not made it worse?

Wow.

In some ways, it is astonishing to hear someone say that this racist abuse is okay because the subject is old, or because one could anticipate the racist attacks would continue.

In fact, why the expulatory gesture? Seriously, why minimize this and blame Meghan Markle for the existence of racism?

Note photos on the Queens, who's missing...





This would sting me more than the press' garbage.

There's one from the Mirror (owner: the 'Reach' company), and the rest are the Express (also 'Reach') and the Mail (majority owner: Lord Rothermere).

Apparently this has been going on for some time, but NOW they expose it

If there weren't a market for such tripe, these sensationalist rags would die off.

The British press has gotten away with this racism for way too long and it needs to be stopped immediately. Only the Queen or Prince Charles can stop it at this point and it's what they need to do. I don't know whether Elizabeth herself believes that dribble that's printed in the papers (probably she doesn't) but it's going to tear her family apart unless she does something about it.

Certainly Charles should be fighting the press even if his mother stays silent.

was disgusting as well...but that being said i don't ever remember catherine and william lecturing people as the duke and duchess of sussex do.

When you look at all of it in one place, it's hard to escape the conclusion that British journalists were attacking Meghan Markle across the board and viciously.

...not Meghan Markle, but a quote from our very beautiful and successful first lady. Michelle Obama, an educated, intelligent, successful woman in her own right said this in an interview [post 2016 election.] Reporter/interviewer asked, how she dealt with discrimination while her husband was president for 8 years.
