Truly. Even more sickening is considering the rationale behind it.

I sort of understand that, although I always felt the “fairy tale” thing around Diana was a totally constructed myth, as she was born into immense wealth and privilege in the first place, being one of the Spencer family (who were closely aligned and moved in the same circles as the royals for generations). The way it…

“I was never a racist, I was framed, but I’ve spent the last 20 months learning how not to say the N word out loud”. Dafu?

Under normal circumstances, yes, the queen has the final say—but the queen is 95. A lot of the day-to-day has been offloaded onto Charles, officially or unofficially. (And a lot of the things that Harry and Meghan were talking about—titles, funding—are things that would have been under his purview. He’s been trying to…

I’m not sure if I’m normal or rational (which is almost exactly what I’d expect a rationalist to say), but I feel for them. They’ve clearly been through hell and it looks like they’re trying to come out the other side.

Who the fuck are you to talk about what “honor dictates” for this family that has been bullied by a very powerful institution that they are directly related to? They get to choose how they handle what happened to them within their family. The public gets to know only what they choose to share. Which is how it should…

So the no title thing is the only area that I think the royal family can actually be explained with any legitimacy. That is a rule or “article” from the Queen’s father I believe. I imagine that it could be changed by the Queen but she seems to really hold on to tradition. Harry’s kids only become princes or princesses…

Another way this interview was similar to Diana’s is the idea of self harm and not getting any support. Diana talked self harm during post partum depression. Meghan talks about suicidal thoughts during pregnancy.

Something that stood out to me was when Meghan made a direct link between the Palace’s unwillingness to stand up for her in the press/the increasing racist vitriol that resulted from that and the escalation of security threats. It makes total sense but still sent a chill up my spine. Aside from the very real personal…

There is a point I think though where the public criticism does go over the point of any return. When you do a major tv interview calling your family uncaring prisoners who tolerate racism and complain about them cutting you off financially when you left it’s going to take a VERY long time I think for any…

You can care for people and still point out that there are problems.

But she was very gracious in how she spoke of her. How kind Elizabeth was to her. I don’t think it’s Elizabeth as much as Charles, Will & Kate, and the higher ups in the staff, who TBH seem more psychotic about control than the Family.

They’ve got a deal with netflix (similar to what the Obama’s have) and possibly another streaming site or two. They have an upcoming series about mental health.

I honestly thought the Palace would at least be smart enough to let Meghan help rehabilitate their image and bring it in to the 21st century.

Of course they won't name names, look what happened to his mother. He wants to protect his wife and kids.

Oh, the Daily Fail loves comparing the Sussexes to Wallis & Edward, even though the two stories and couples couldn’t be more different. For one thing, Wallis and Edward were straight-up Nazis, Wallis actually wanted to remain Edward’s mistress so he could stay on the throne, and yeah. It’s just a lazy, deliberately…

That thing was a whole Nazi married to King Whole Nazi. Like, let’s be honest about the abdication, England. It was less star-crossed lovers and more “we can’t have the sympathizer be king DURING the war”. Don’t even get me started on Phillip and his sisters.  And to compare the black princess to her...Come on.

The daily mail compared her clothes to Wallace Simpson 5 days ago.  

Yeah, it doesn’t make sense. Other Royals drive on public roads and my understanding is they all require a driver’s license except the Queen. Famously, Prince Phillip surrendered his shortly after the accident he caused. I’ve read that the Royal Family have bank accounts at Coutts and, aside from the Queen, use debit…

The extreme amount of tea that was spilled and there’s still a mostly full kettle on the table.
