[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing British press, you criticize Meghan and Harry for things you allow other royals to skate past on.

You can't lecture us that 'every footprint counts' then jump on private jets every two minutes.

You can't get the public to pay £2.4 million ($2.9 million) to refurbish your luxury (free!) home then refuse to let them take photos of you at Wimbledon.

You can't throw decadent $500,000 baby showers in New York with your celebrity mates, and blag a lift home on the Clooneys' plane, then tweet at the exact same time about the urgent need to combat poverty.

You can't enjoy all the global fame and attention from a royal wedding then refuse to share basic details, or photos, of your baby when he was born.

That's not how being a royal works.[/b]

I beg to differ.

Scenario A - Charles has been lecturing on the environment since the 60s. Meanwhile he as Prince of Wales he has his own private jet and two private helicopters to hop between his three homes at leisure.
Scenario B - Plenty of photos were taken. You don't get to push up into Meghan's face while she's seated, just like there are no close-ups of Kate in Kensington Park while she's out running.
Scenario C - The british didn't pay for any of that? Why are you complaining? How about William spending thousands of pounds to buy his MIL a mansion? $1M on a driveaway? $8M on refurbishing a flat he's barely at.
Scenario D - The Queen is guilty of this and her wedding was far more extravagant than the Sussex's. The public didn't see the royal's firstborn for FOUR MONTHS after his birth in privacy at the palace. People started to wonder if he was disabled.

There are examples for everything you've criticized Meghan over and the public isn't blind to your hypocrisy.[/quote]

I think the major difference is that all of these people you've used as examples are direct heirs to the throne. With William's growing family and Harry's marriage it has become apparent that Harry is so far down the line now that his status is almost negligible. Add to the fact that MM flaunts her newfound wealth around and it's a recipe for the general public losing their collective patience with the actions of royals as a whole. In regards to how outdated the entire notion of royalty is, Harry and his family won't get a free pass the way the current Queen, direct heir (Charles) and next likely King (William) do. PH and MM are basically at the same level as their cousins (Beatrice, Eugenie, Zara, etc) in terms of importance so there is less tolerance for their hypocrisy and missteps. You can see the way even DCUM decries Andrew, Beatrice and Eugenie living off of the RF and British public so it's no surprise that the same sentiment is shared for a royal whose place in line is practically the same with a wife who, at the very least, doesn't seem to respect their current culture or traditions. I think it is a tough pill for PH to swallow realizing that he is not as important as he once was.[/quote]
