Spare

I feel racism wins when people use race card as a weapon in revenge war knowing raising it would make them look good and rival look bad. If they've done it themselves too, its shown in kinder light than what rivals did.

These two deserve what they get.


it may be a long time coming, but eventually, her mom will die and they'll find out how alone they've made themselves.



They won't be together at that point.


Exactly. And she might be on her second or third husband by then. Oh, I forgot, H is her second husband! Make it her third or fourth.

His dad is on second wife . So....?


You are really stupid. Diana died sugar plum.

Diana died after they were divorced. Camilla is the (mistress turned) second wife.


Everybody knows this, why are you stating the obvious?

She was 35 or thereabouts, Suits was ending, she needed money and a husband and she wanted to be famous and wealthy.


I'm sure she earned good money from Suits but it was her first big break, she probably had good amount of debt to settle.


I agree with the PP before you - there weren't any rich actors that were willing to date a nobody, so she had to find someone else. It was Harry or Elon.

I'm sure she threw it away - I would not want someone's finger touching my lip gloss applicator especially someone whose job it is to shake everyone in the world's hand. So disgusting.

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.


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.


But Meghan HAD been offered advice and mentorship on the Windsor way, and she declined. It's not like she was thrown into it headfirst, she chose to dive in despite warnings. Don't you think it's a special kind of arrogance to think you already know all there is to be known, and you know better?


She was thrown in headfirst! This happened over months! Kate went through literal YEARS of blowups, trainings, retreats, breakups, reconciliations, more blowups etc before she was married in. Acting like something that took Kate YEARS to learn was something she could fully understand after a few months, with a MUCH larger press spotlight (Kate went through this before the 24/7 news cycle) is just unfair.


The 24/7 news cycle started in the mid-80s, when Kate was a pre-schooler. And the press spotlight was way bigger on someone who could be the queen one day than on someone marrying the fifth or sixth in line for the throne.


Lol. Do you really think the Brits don’t care about a divorced black American marrying into their royal family? The spotlight has been way way bigger on Meg than Kate. I won’t even mention the personal vendetta some British media personalities have against Meg.


Social media wasn't as prominent when Kate was dating Will, otherwise she probably would also have been dragged across the internet. It's different times.

Since he is not the heir, he is going to destroy what he can never have.

I thought she was biracial? Her dad's entire family is white.


She's biracial and she's lived her life passing as white. Her mom even said she wished she'd spent more time talking to Rachel Megs about racism and that because of how she looked and where she grew up, it was a non-issue.

I don’t like the couple but I will listen to the audiobook. I suspect all the interesting parts will have already been leaked but there will be some more boring nuggets that may make the couple a tiny more likeable.

I wonder if they will cover their philanthropic work or interests? Id be interested to hear what he actually believes.I don’t buy the whole “I’m a male feminist” or “I’m an anti racist” stuff but I’m sure there’s things he’s actually passionate about (Africa, veterans).


Africa is a continent made up of 54 countries. Shocking as it may sound to YOU, not every country is in urgent need of some sort of humanitarian aid and, even if it were the case, he's not in a financial nor institutional position to do anything about it . Those who have the means to finance their philanthropic endeavors in *certain African countries * have already been doing so for decades. See the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. There's just something appalingly ignorant with statements such as : 'he's passionate about Africa' .


Safari trips make most white people passionate about Africa, at least for few years.


Safari is an activity limited to a *few* African countries. You're embarrassingly ignorant .

Buying a memoir = supporting someone's fancy lifestyle . I'm loving the desperation . Too late .


People are often interested in reading celebrity gossip on internet but most aren't interested enough to read a book about or by them.


I absolutely will not but it, but will be happy to borrow it from the library next year if I remember it. It will still be trashy then. I just can’t give them a dollar.


Why would you borrow it from a library? So you're interested ,arent you ? one more thing : Your taxes pay for the library , so YOU are paying for it .

That's what you want to believe. He'll always be the grandson of a past queen, son of a current king, brother of a future king, uncle of a future king. The monarchy will always be a part of him, although not as intensely as it was when he was living in the UK. Furthermore , there is a video of him saying he didn't like England that much from years ago, long before the woman you miserable weirdos inexplicably hate entered the picture. So, your demonstrably false assertion that he would've loved to be king is just that: a figment of your imagination.

Your taxes paid for the roads that took them to the airport to board their private planes, so YOU are paying for their lifestyle!

Yes I am. Hence , I'm not making idiotic comments like saying I won't buy but I'll get it from the public library . Sigh.
