I totally agree with this as an English person I do have one thing to add I do remember how kate was treated when she first joined the family - now she is loved by the press but initially the media painted her as a gold digging commoner who parents were capitalising on the wedding. They seemed to drop this narrative shortly before Megan came into the picture and then pitted them against each other, and claimed to love kate all along. So if you want a real comparison of treatment - I reckon compare the early days of Kate to the early days of Meg to pick up the differences and nauces. Because boy did they hate kate and pippa

Right!

I'm not implying anything about Harry so much as I am talking about the monarchy and media. Still, you never know how things will end when you're still at the beginning. As an American, I had no idea that Britain and the British media are as judgmental and downright racist as they are. I remember thinking "So what? He's marrying a black woman, whoop dee doo!" (not how I think now, but I was a lot less educated then and I have way more understanding and empathy now). I never realized that their marriage was actually a huge deal for Britain, and how upset the media there was over it.

Imo, Harry was probably plotting to leave the family for a while. He was just waiting for the right time to do it. And his wife presented him with the perfect opportunity.

Who could blame him for this? I lost my mom, too when I was seven. And we ain't no royals or nothing 💀, but I can completely understand. Going through something like that once is hell.

I'm British, here are some very basic notes for the British Media when it comes to our estranged fathers: We are not responsible for their actions, No, we do not have to forgive them, No, we don't owe them a thing.

[@Iffy]

The same thing happened with the British press when Princess Diana was in a relationship with Dodi Fayed, he was of Egyptian origin, brown, an Arab Muslim, and the theory that she might have been pregnant with Dodi's child when she died might have been the last straw!

[@annaliarose]

And they considered that as a threat to the "whiteness" of the crown.

[@annettewilcox5413]

BS fantasy. Diana died cause she got into a car with a drunken driver and didn’t put her seat belt on.

[@piratesswoop725]

Diana and Dodi had been dating for at most, six weeks when they died. This comment makes no sense for several reasons. The press went wild over Dodi because he was from a famous family--his father owned Harrod's, which was THE name in luxury shopping (Fun fact, though less relevant to the British public at the time too, but Dodi was also first cousins, through his mother, with the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi). However, in the two years prior to her death, Diana had been dating a Pakistani Muslim heart surgeon named Hasnat Khan, and at one point, discussed marriage with him but he balked at the media attention. They split up in June of 1997 and Diana started dating Dodi in July 1997. Hasnat has gone on record saying that Diana took her contraceptive pills religiously, up to the time they ended their relationship. If she got with Dodi in July, and died at the end of August, it really seems like a HUGE stretch for her to quit taking her pills, have her cycle regulate itself again, and get pregnant all within the span of 6-8 weeks. Even if she had been pregnant, I doubt she would have known herself, let alone the royal family.

Its kinda eerie how similar the UK public's response to the meghan and harry interview is to their response to the Diana interview...I found it super interesting that you brought up that after Diana's death William and Harry were now held very dear by the public, and i think that is part of the reason they are so mad that Harry left, Amber Ruffin put it best "He'd rather be her husband than their prince and they can't stand it"

[@JQGLOVER]

It's interesting that this is the viewpoint from across the pond however it's not really accurate at all. After Diana did her interview the public were very much on Diana's side, there were some people who didn't agree with her airing out the Royal families business but majority of the public and press were in her favour. After that interview Prince Charles was told to end their separation with divorce as the relationship was untenable by that point. William and Harry have always been loved and held dear by the public. Their milestones have always been reported in the British press. It was because of the British outpouring of grief and sympathy for those children and Diana why she received a state funeral as the current prime minister thought anything less would be permanently damaging to the monarchy ( not that they didn't care , but their idea was that it should be a private affair for the family) Don't get me wrong there are racist people in the UK and some people did not like her because of her ethnicity , but to be fair when I first saw a picture if her I thought she was Latin American, so I doubt most white people in the UK twigged she was mixed until the press started to talk about her in the news. The biggest issue that people had after the announcement of their engagement was the age difference and the fact that she has been divorced and to cap it all off some people thought the relationship moved too fast (allegedly his brother thought so too), so I think the idea if her being a gold digger was an issue. To be fair after Harry called out the press for some of the racist innuendo reporting that pretty much stopped. The vast majority of Brits who enjoyed their wedding and were excited to see what they could bring to the country , this all happend post Brexit so for alot of people it gave some hope as to the direction we were heading in particular with indicating that the Commonwealth would play a bigger role in the future of Britain. For those who supported them it did feel like a kick in the teeth, however being a working royal is a big sacrifice and if you're not able , willing or capable of working under so much spotlight and critique it's unfair to force anyone to make that sacrifice. They did what was best for them and most reasonable brits after the announcement came to terms with that. What riled some people was the subsequent interviews which some saw as hypocrisy. PS I feel like there is also this desire that people ( US imparticular) want to draw comparisons between them and Edward and Wallis Simpson but without fully understanding the real reason the government imparticular thought it was unsuitable. Edward as well as Wallis were known Nazi sympathiers ( the couple actually toured Nazi Germany after their wedding in France) and supported many of Hitlers ideaolgies , there is significant and plausible evidence that Hitler was planning to use Edward as a way to continue his expansion into Europe, He had already leaked several state secrets the idea of a future king, supporting a force that we previously had been at war. with ( in WW1) was incredibly unpalatable. In a country at the time when everyone went to church on a Sunday and where if he had received his coronation Wouldham been the head of the church of England exposing that his fiance was a divorcee was the less of two evils compared to him giving up the keys to the country to Hitler.

[@amyevans9042]

Princess Diana was always loved by British people. Charles not so much, he's been seen as a bit of a weirdo or geek, not relatable in the slightest. So when the interview came out he was seen as the villain. The Crown captured it really well. Also, I've found the press reporting of Meghan and Harry don't accurately reflect public opinion. People I talk to seem to dislike them because they've "bailed" and shouldn't have left the UK, they're "snowflakes". Most people don't care as much as the press want them too. Younger people sympathise more with the couple because mental health is more open and talked about. Older people think they should have "put up and shut up" with all the nastiness being spouted by the press, they shouldn't be doing all these interviews if they want a quiet life. Older people and a certain type of traditionalist are the ones who are hurt by Meghan. I find it weird how some sexist working class non educated males are annoyed by Meghan

I'm really liked and agree with your sentiment at the end: we all have biases and issues; no one is "unproblematic". I think there's this thing where people who are systemically discriminated against don't note their own non-systemic discrimination against other people (an example could be a black person discriminating against an Asian person, perpetuating stereotypes, etc.) as... important, I think I'll put it that way. But, yes, socialisation brought us all up so everyone has things they have to deal with. And that's alright. In my humble opinion. Another thing I saw in another video was a lack of sympathy/empathy for Meghan because she is a light-skinned and biracial and rich. Sometimes, I am concerned by the lack of empathy people have towards others because they have one privilege or the other. Everyone is human and can go through things and invalidating someone else's experience because they are in one socio-cultural-economic group of the other is simply not okay. And not because we all have some privilege (e.g. I'm able-bodied), but because it just is not. Not saying to excuse people - just to not forget to humanize them. For instance, cyber-bullying a person who has been exposed for racist statements is not okay. Sending death threats is not okay, no matter what anyone does. In my humble opinion. I'm new to this channel and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you and I hope you are having a lovely day.

I think his human rights activism happened after Afghanistan. But also, human rights is a vague overarching concept. There are thousands of causes in the world. There are people who are for women's rights, but who aren't for gay rights. And there are those for gay rights, who aren't for trans rights. And there are those for trans rights, who aren't for prisoner rights. There are those for prisoner rights, who aren't focused on the refugee crisis overseas. There are folks who are pro-war & nationalistic patriotism, but who are doing charity for the homeless or activism against sex trafficking. So it's not that much of a contradiction that Harry has done both . Keep in mind that as a Royal, Harry was most likely never on the frontlines. He was in protected zones performing other menial tasks and military duties. I doubt he's had to confront war and its consequences in the same way that other soldiers (who are the sons & daughters of working class folk) have had to face.

Trying to invalidate her experience as a half black woman and the discrimination she faced. It can be true that she benefitted from being light skinned while also true that she suffered because of her blackness.

[@tinyviolin]

She literly wrote white when giving a resume . I'm one of millions who also never knew she's black . She never wanted to be bi racial until it suited her "story"

[@Sssssssslf]

@@tinyviolin _exactly!!_ cut the bullshit!!

[@alphabettical1]

As naive as it may seem, her not googling his family or his previous life experiences is...healthy. Like, if she trusted their mutual friend, she's not worried about abuse from him, so there's no 'background check' element that we sometimes google for. And then anything about his mom and all that should be heard from him when he was ready. That's a relationship built on treating him like a person and not a spectacle. That's what I might do if I were about to start a genuine friendship with a famous person's kid or something - not avoid things entirely (pretend I'd never heard of their drama), but kind of hit 'reset' on my perceptions once I'm committed to having a real friendship. Anything else would be fraudulent. Edit: researching about the job in general though, that's something I'd expect, especially from a university-educated person who would likely assume the job to be complex. I think that's where people's wires get crossed and then end up saying she should've known what she was getting into entirely, when they mean she should've known how the culture around Harry is, not Harry himself. I think it's a bit too close to saying it's her fault though, which it absolutely isn't, especially when she did every decent thing she could.

[@brittneybrisbin744]

I absolutely agree. I personally wouldn't Google a person I may date, especially if a close friend set me up with them. It would make me feel almost creepy. I'd trust my friend to be a good judge of character. Even if the person were famous, they're still a person, and to me, I'd want the relationship to progress like a normal relationship between adult people.

[@lotsofuwuenergy3983]

@@brittneybrisbin744 Same. And it feels as though the friendship/relationship going forward will be... boring? Like I'll just already know information about them and so the actual ENJOYMENT of forming a relationship with someone (learning more about them through conversations and shared experiences) gets diluted.

[@brittneybrisbin744]

@@lotsofuwuenergy3983 Definitely. I'd get bored too, and wouldn't even pursue the relationship anymore. I already Googled you, so what could you possibly tell me that's new? I have no reason to actually want to meet or get to know you.

[@thebookwyrmslair6757]

I agree with nearly everything, and I think Harry did the best job of prepping Meghan for her expected role that he could. However, she was in a fairly unique position, with really only Kate Middleton, Sophie, Duchess of Wessex, (and... ummm... MAYBE Bea and Eug.. but they grew up in it??) able to give her guidance. How willing were they to help? I remember Sophie being an adult coming in to her relationship with Edward, so I hope she was able to clue Meghan in on how to transition from competent, capable adult to locked away princess. But no one in recent memory has had to fight the racial issues, the infantalizing, AND the social media toxicity at the same time.

[@kristineilochi4615]

I'm sorry, but...I'm not buying the "Oh, I'm from the States and didn't know much about Harry." Come on! Although they were across the pond, that family has been crammed down our American throats in the media since 1981 when Diana married Charles. She made that family interesting and that wedding and her funeral were the most watched events on tv. Meghan KNEW EXACTLY who Harry was.

[@euqinecart33]

The word "mulato" in portuguese comes from the word “mula” (mule), that is, “hybrid, sterile animal, product of the crossing of the horse with the donkey, or of the mare with the donkey”. I think the term they use talks by itself...

[@margaridarodrigues3834]

mano quê? Kkkk

[@lauraprecioso2152]

this is aparently disputed among historians, since there is another theory that it might have originated from the arab word 'muwallad' (meaning mixed race, descended from an arab and a non-arab couple, sometimes specifically of arabs and iberians) though the word mulato is recorded from roughly the xiv century onwards (according to ISCTE) i couldn't find a source that could pinpoint when it stopped being used to refer to mules and when it began being used to refer to someone of mixed race tho aparently this opens a whole other can of worms about 19th centuries stereotypes of ppl of mixed race being sterile... either way i just wish portuguese people would stop using the word, its 2021 ffs

They were in my country so I had to learn about what they did to my people. I was 9 when the queen came to TNT. The school children had to lined the streets to wave to her. I told my mom I did not want to meet her. I told mom that they don’t care about us so why should I want to see her? I was a very intuitive child. I know she was not fooling anybody.

Worth noting that while the Queen etc are called 'apolitical', they have been involved in affecting and preventing laws which would be unfavourable to them (taxes and laws on their private land in particular iirc). It's all very corrupt... Fantastic video 💖💖 I always appreciate your insight!!

[@bunnyday1473]

Also they have the power to absolve the current sitting government and trigger an election (in countries where the Queen is head of state) if there is a serious issue or a huge problem within the country or the current government. Ie, a few years back some people in Canada were calling on the Queen to do this because they hated the government so much (I can't remember what was going on at the time) they thought that would have been a better option- we ended up going into a normal early election instead, no need for Queen to interfere.

[@lottie9992]

It's disappointing to see that such a confident and successful biracial woman was vilified and hounded by the press. As a brit myself, I didn't realise just how bad the stories were about Meghan until the avocado story (I'm quite young and don't consume newspapers). It would honestly beak my heart if I experienced half the racism, sexism and hate Meghan received. I think some people are jealous of her and Harry and Archie, and the press need to rember that they are humans too. Super excited for your video!

[@teszter704]

Seeing the press coverage of Meghan and Kate side by side is so shocking. Jameela Jamil had some very enlightening posts on Instagram about the british tabloids and how they treat and use women.

[@lottie9992]

Yes absolutely. They had a vendetta against Meghan from the beginning. I can't imagine the state of her self esteem after seeing those stories. And it's deeply troubling to think that she might not have been here today if she hadn't left the royal family
