Joint family system rarely works out, less so in dysfunctional families with mental health and boundary issues. Royal family is no exception.

What a tragic end for Harry, I can’t see anyone wanting to keep his company.

It's appalling, I simply can't get over how vicious and petty the details are. Daily Mail has excerpts of the Kate vs. Meghan anecdotes, and they are mind-glowingly stupid. Anger about hugs, lip gloss, children's tights and requests not to be too informal prematurely? I mean wtf.

Amazing how this is mostly coming from the Sussexes, and Meghan really does not come across well at all. Arrogant, abrasive, presumptuous, and definitely jealous.

It is mostly incredibly stupid and small, but do we think it's true Meghan paid for the Sussex's Ikea furniture vs. the Wales's lap-of-luxury decor? Very strange!

Meghan had a $1M wardrobe during her 18 months of service so I doubt it. They spent $4M renovating Frogmore and included a personal yoga room and floating floor and she had the designer of SOHO house do the interior decor.

Meghan thought that the whole institution of the BRF should be bent to suit her because she's so special. And when it didn't, she cried. She was fighting back against what she perceived as slights, but is in fact just reality: you, Meghan, are NOT as important as Kate, because hierarchy. And this hierarchy will not change based on how fabulous or glamorous or popular you are. That's why they get priceless art and you get IKEA. Both of you live in places you do not own and never will.

I mean I think your read is incredibly oversimplified and reduces her to a caricature of a human being. I think any American introduced so abruptly into the institution would struggle greatly. Kate spend YEARS going through royal training while dating and breaking up with Will to be able to tolerate all the indignities with grace and a smile. She was literally being groomed since childhood for it. All of the british royals are, and they're all pretty screwed up!

Meghan had a difficult time with it but the real difference between her and the rest of them is that she just hadn't been taught to suppress it, smile and not talk about it or show it in any way shape or form no matter what anyone does or says to you. And I say that with EMPATHY for Kate Middleton and Diana Spencer and Camilla and Fergie and Beatrice and Eugenie and Margaret and Anne. It is a brutal world, gilded, but brutal.

That was not a part of the renovation, and it was 3.2 million, and they repaid it. And maybe that all seems nitpicky but it shows how people change and frame these stories to make her look comically awful.

But the comical awfulness is just from the semantics of the exact cost or the silly reno features. Are they not embarrassed to now be publicly complaining about how small their newlywed home was or how nice William and Catherine's furniture was when they ended up removating their dream home and now live in a mansion.

They were married for 2 minutes and were already comparing and complaining. What an awful way to start a marriage and join a family.

Or maybe it’s because by the time she met and married Harry, she was already a fully formed American woman: self-made, self-refined. She had desires and goals and a fan base. And while she was a fine actress, the job she is best at is envisioning a life for herself and getting it. That specific type of very American ambition just isn’t really compatible with being a princess.

The article I did not think was unflattering, it was just...accurate. I think they are the type of comically wealthy and privleged that they come off strange and stilted to normal people. And I think they have both endured a level of scrutiny and intentional tarring and feathering from the press that they have become intensely guarded and fearful about how they present themselves and as such DO have an overly curated vibe when presented with outsiders. I also think they are both extremely cheesy people, like the couple on instagram you know that makes you want to vom a little bit and that that side of them turns people off. But I know plenty of people that journaled and photographed their 'love stories' and their kids and etc etc etc and it is just who they are. Very cheesy, but not really vindictive or hurting anyone.

I think it is accurate to say that M/H have lived a very intense few years. Under an extreme amount of scrutiny and negative press and both have, in the process, become estranged from their families of birth. And I think how people react to that is probably mostly our own baggage. Many many celebrities will point to losing contact with relatives who changed and became greedy in the face of their relation obtaining fame and fortune. Meghan's story is not particularly unique there. And many many words have been written about the oppressive side to living in the British monarchy. But generally I think people are attracted to stories of great endurance. Endurance is seen as a virtue. Someone who sticks by the troubled family despite hardship is loyal. Anyone who walks away from family must be selfish/greedy/whatever. And in reality these are deeply personal and difficult situations. In my house growing up there was also a rule that 'what happens in the family stays in the family' and spoiler alert, that is not actually virtuous, it is a GIANT red flag about abuse. People can be very wealthy, and be very abusive.

I think at the end of the day it comes down to three essential truths

1) Harry has hated the press his entire life, and it is clearly a deep wound deep in his soul, and his family has not protected him from the press and in fact, in his moment of greatest need, they asked him to take one for the team and threw him to the dogs themselves, and that has created a wedge that will likely never be removed

2) Meghan was never cut out to be an obedient princess. She was/is a nice but ambitious and hard working woman with a vision of what she wants out of life, a clear feeling about what she believes is wrong and right, and an unwillingness to compromise herself entirely for anything or anyone. And in the end, this clashed with the institution and doomed her. She was never going to not fight back. And if you admire that quality overall you support her, and if you think she should have been thanking the gods for landing her a prince and keeping her mouth shut as she enjoyed the trappings of the royal life than you hate her.

3) Both have been in the public eye and famous for a very long time. Their existence requires income, and substantial income, to adequately protect their family. Meghan has been moving towards a goal of being famous for her entire adult life, and Harry has been taught since birth that he owes the world a life of service in response to the bounty he was born into. That doesn't make them inherently bad, but it does make it very not surprising that they are not fading into obscurity like wallflowers but simply building a business and life that meets those goals in their own way.

Love them or hate them, they have decided to free themselves of being in the control of others and will accept the judgements we lay at them while trying to fund their lives and do good where they can. And they will continue to get incredible amounts of hate and vitriol and admiration and love regardless. I for one wish them well, even if they have gotten so famous that they are now probably just a little bit weird as a result.

And I haven't read any negative stories about them since they've been in America personally, so I think a lot of that stuff is just rag gossip.

As for William and Kate, I understand Kate not being open with her at first, she has been in the institution since she was a teen and trusts no one unless they have earned it. And I understand how an American not knowing how all this worked would find her rude and cold and off putting and not understand any of that and have that lead to incredibly hurtful and deep misunderstandings that go both ways. And I can see Kate being extremely jealous and bitter of Meghan's refusal to accept indignities that Kate has accepted (that is not a criticism of Kate BTW).

And I think William is a rage a holic who has let the crown go, so to speak, to his head. I think he cheated on Kate, and I think he has been jealous of Harry's beloved status, and I think he is egotistical. And I think that is likely an inevitable state of being the heir. I imagine he both embraces and resents it. I hope they both (K/W) have found peace with it all.

Your last paragraph gives you away.

It's also quite bizarre for what amounts to a new employee feeling entitled to anything, much less parity with well-established senior royals.

I mean it is KIND OF semantics. This is what I meant when I said they had just entered a world where things are so different as to be bizarre.

If I was marrying into a family like this and I was put into a 100s year old creaky home (and I am not at ALL surprised to hear that a lot of these properties need expensive substantial renovation, they have been around FOREVER), and watched other royal family members living in the lap of luxury while I was paying for IKEA furniture. I mean that would bother me! Maybe I'm an uppity American but inequity can be really upsetting. Pair that with the press situation and how a lot of their requests were being twisted in the press and yeah I think it was unfair considering the circumstances. I mean its all like, I think it takes two to tango (or in this case 15). In the end likely all of them had really bad moments and all of them had decent and kind moments. We will never really know who behaved worse, but I believe the stories about Rose Chumley so maybe that tarnishes my opinion.

I think a bit part of Megan’s problem is that she thought she could portray this warm open persona and then close that door for privacy. It doesn’t work that way there. It reminds me of the queens advice to someone — never hold hands in public because the first time you aren’t holding hands, they will make it headline news. They will use whatever you give them so give them nothing to work with except bland propriety.

But she and Harry have been calculating and taking notes and seeking to take down and destroy these people over petty grievances. That doesn't sound like a genuine open warm person.

Making videos, taking notes etc sounds like this union was a pre planned business project.

The RF sycophants on here are hilarious as well as ignorant of all of the things that family has done that are self-serving, racist, hateful, vindictive to members of their own family. It's laughable, actually. H and M's treatment fits that pattern and is why I believe it. Good for them for giving them the middle finger.

Same. I think a lot of people aren't royal watchers aside from "let's see the wedding dress" are hearing the most recent stuff and think Harry's the good guy.

Royal watchers aren't normal and have to accept that the majority of people aren't enthralled by these people the way they are.

The majority of people I have seen online are like me - not royal family watchers or supporters at all but we started seeing Harry and meghan headlines everywhere = both promoting their stuff and reporting on their stuff and started reading and listening to things. I am sure there are a few ardent RF supporters who don't think the RF can do any wrong but I dont give a fig about the RF and Harry comes across as an immature and petty man. I don't really care about Harry and Meghan either but content on them is being shoved in our faces online 24/7. They are digging their own graves.

Not really. They are online 24/7 right now but give it a week and something else will be there. I don't know these people and they are like any other thing in the media, don't like them, don't care, then click elsewhere, read elsewhere, watch elsewhere. It only takes a second to change over to something else and never see them again.

I can't help but feel secondhand embarrassment for their decisions. I wonder if they just laid low for the next few months...no media interviews, no book releases or social media or podcast or awards ceremony...maybe they could wipe the slate clean a bit? Show up to the coronation with little pomp and circumstance or releases on what she is wearing or what their travel plans are.

Signed,
Not a PR expert

I think after this drama, people would be even more interested in watching them at coronation. Its a vulgar reality show. They are doing better than Kardashians.

They were laying low and still posted nasty things about meghan after the Queen's death accusing her of being demanding and all other sorts of drama when she wasnt even there. They make a lot of money with articles about how terrible of a person Meghan is and this will never, ever change. Harry even stated that their of their own press offices will greenlight bad articles about other family members. How/why is this even allowed to happen? Oddly, the american press has no such stories of Meghan being a horrible human either before Harry or now?

If you dig, there are plenty of articles about what a b_tch she was even before Harry. I mean, her husband left her, didn't he?

She left him. If i recall correctly, broke news to him via mail.

Yes, no fan of Meghan at the moment, but presenting her divorce as some kind of moral failing is pretty misogynistic.

This was one of the things that struck me in their docuseries - how EARLY they were busy recording and taking notes and gathering material. It doesn't look like genuine behavior in the slightest. Almost like this has been planned from day 1, like Meghan saw the merch potential and was determined to exploit it.

She is smart and savvy.

I doubt comparatively Andrew gets a fraction of what his brother gets, and what he does have was "earned" over time precisely because he stayed in the fold and fulfilled his duties, such as they were.

I wonder if Meghan read any of the drafts of Harry's memoir. Did she have access to it at all or was it all hush hush? For the life of me I cannot imagine someone like her, who's definitely smarter than Harry, would be ok with his including the kill count in the book. Most sane people immediately recognized the potential security peril. If she didn't know what's really included in the book, I imagine she'd be furious.
