Funny. no one says that about Diana.  She is, instead,  a martyr. 
Secondly, there's no bad press  about the other royals. Not Anne who left her husband,  not her kids, and really low key reporting on Andrew with the Epstein case, nothing about Camilla, nothing about Beatrice's husband and his divorce- just passing references. They've been after Meghan like swarms  of bees. [/quote]

The ours used to say that about Diana all the time. And Camilla was roped to pieces for being a horse face marriage wrecker.[/quote]

For a minute. That's it. [/quote]

Sounds like you missed most of the 1990s.[/quote]
I was living in England and the age of Diana in the 1990s. I didn't miss anything. Literally nothing happened to Camilla that has happened to Meghan. Nothing. And you can see there's nothing happening now.  Nothing about Andrew. Nothing about Anne's  adult kids and their respective spouses,  nothing about Phillip who went unscathed for his entire  marriage, but everything  is piled on Meghan.[/quote]

Philip certainly didn’t go unscathed - he famously made many gaffes, frequently racist ones. I am British, lived in the UK during the 90s and Camilla was HATED! Zara got a lot of negativity for marrying a rugby player. Anne and her kids for being horsey. Charles for being dumb. Kate was “wait-y Katie”. Chelsy was hounded. Fergie got hate after hate (and don’t forget toe-gate, and Charles “I want to be your tampon”. Meghan is different because of the racism and because it’s now solely on them - perhaps because of a deal or collusion by the Royal press offices . I have no idea why Andrew, a pedophile allegedly has got off so lightly.[/quote]

You gave the  1 or 15 minute  examples of criticism of each of the above, but it was not world wide condemnation for any. Kate is chronicalled as perfect on a daily basis, her family beyond  reproach, Fergie still lives with Andrew, she is beloved by Brits. No mention of Anne's son's divorce to speak of other than a day's worth. Phillip's affairs have never been brought to the papers, only alluded to in various documentations. He nearly  killed someone driving around a few years before  he was too sick. His gaffes were only the butt of jokes. Charles and Camilla are King and Queen now. Andrew is ever present and will return to royal standing. Why wasn't he raked over the coals? That was the information trade off... that Harry implied. 
Harry and Meghan-called narcissistic,  whiney, attention seeking, ungrateful,  unhinged, power seeking,  dangerous- for years. One doesn't even need to read the book  to understand.  [/quote]

As I actually lived through this in the UK and understand the tabloids, I could give many more examples but there isn’t time. No Fergie is not beloved, far from it. No Phillips gaffes were not only jokes. Yes, things have changed now. They generally get more positive coverage and Megan doesn’t. But you must have been asleep if you missed all the anger and negativity directed at Kate, for example. [/quote]

Duchess of Pork, Kate’s middle class background. The Brits pay taxes for a family to live in opulence. There are a lot of feelings about that including, from some, hateful resentment. If Harry took the stance of wanting to abolish the monarchy he may get more support than wanting to keep it but improve the experience of the siblings living within it[/quote]
Again, those were temporary and not all encompassing. There was never hatred toward Kate. A couple of shots about her college modeling outfit, really nothing. The family's aspirations were in some question, she was called " waity Katy"...they didn't even continue in a deep dive about  sketchy uncle.  Her parents were literally flight crew employees before opening an online store, and got relatively no harraasment. Come on.

They were one off comments, all remediated by the time these folks were solidly in their position.  They were and are still going for Meghan's jugular.  Reading comprehension is still an issue here, I see. It was nothing like what happened to Meghan- not comparable at all. [/quote]

No point in continuing this conversation. You are wrong. The hatred and ridicule toward Kate was relentless. [/quote]
