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]

I thought the leak tapes about Charles wanted to be Camilla’s tampon sure were something. So we’ll have to disagree here.[/quote]

I did say there was nothing at all.  I said it wasn't eventful enough or long lasting enough to change anything or make a difference.  I said the comparison of their treatment paled in comparison to Harry and Meghan.  And, we know that the monarchy puts the kabosh on anything going to far in the press. Hence, the problem Harry is writing about. There was nothing happening like that for them. They were not protected. [/quote]

I don’t disagree with what you say about Harry but it is absolutely false to say it wasn’t eventful. Most of the 90s was full of negative coverage of the Royal family. The tampon stuff wasn’t a blip. It was massive news. For months or years. As was all of the speciation about Charles and Diana’s relationship king before they actually split.[/quote]

By 1990s,  you mean pre internet. And that's a biiig difference.  No, it wasn't comparable at all. They  were sent up in sketches, etc. , pictures of them with captions. Really. It's like a bow and arrows compared to a nuclear bomb. [/quote]

You don’t understand the British tabloids. The 90s were their heyday. You know they literally hacked phones don’t you? Tracked cars? Bribed police? It’s all proven.[/quote]

But it just appeared in their rags- which you had to buy. Even if I don't want to see anything now,  don't care, I inevitability will, and the world's comments like a giant Greek Chorus.  It will inform an opinion that I could care less about informing. The problem now is that it's exponential  combined with racism and classism. [/quote]
