The Cambridges aren't exactly the hardest working royals. In fact, I distinctly remember there being quite an aversion to how little they do in their role. Kate was known as The Duchess of Do-Little.

Yes, this is the point though isn't it? She didn't whine on and on about her poor life. She didn't hide away when topless photos of her emerged from her boat. She kept on.
They are not hte hardest working royals, i think Anne pretty much surpasses anyone really. I don't think many Royals work terribly hard, that is why Meghan crying about things not being fair is just so, um. Entitled? What does she want. What will make her happy? She has NO 9-5 job. Does not have to worry about bills or child care or cooking or shopping . She gets designer clothing and gets to highlight charities. Instead of embracing this opportunity and 'job' she cries about unfair headlines about her. None of which are untrue I might add.
The headlines weren't that she spilled the tea about an affair. The headlines were she is spending like crazy, has gone through mroe staff in a year than the Queen has in decades, has cleared out entire sections of the Wimbledon stadium etc etc. ALL of that is true.

But what she came out and complained about was how the press were mean to her. How she felt things were unfair.

How she just wasn't ready for this (despite her claiming to have been so ready for this role). What wasn't she ready for? Has she never read an article about Kate in the part or about Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton here in the US? Really? We are to believe that US Weekly, the Daily Mail and the like all just wrote riveting articles about humanitarian efforts and how their readers and feed poor children? It is the name of hte game and if her feelings got hurt by people critiquing her wardrobe, good thing she never walked a red carpet in Hollywood because those critics can be ruthless (Joan anyone???)

I wonder, too, if Meghan might have a bit of postpartum depression. I had it after my second child and it warps your view of the world, and I didn't realize I had it until I started coming out of it.

This wouldn't surprise me at all, especially given that she's in a new country and away from her friends, family and familiar surroundings. It has nothing to do with not loving and embracing a new life, just the disorientation and isolation of adjusting to it, which are shown to increase the risk for PPD.

When I watched that interview with her, she reminded me so much of how I felt with PPD. I recognized it in her expressions. I remember feeling emotionally like the least little breeze would knock me right over. Money and privilege don't insulate anyone from that.

The cynicism and attendant lack of compassion on this thread is really disheartening. Truly, DCUM at its ugliest.

It could be regular old depression, too. Moving to another country is hard, even or especially moving to England from America.

But that's not what she's complaining about. What she says she's complaining about.

Wrong.

The headlines about Meghan are lies, slander, and complete fabrications. They deliberately mislead and over-embellish actions while either outright praising or ignoring other royals who do the same thing.

The funny thing is this is exactly what the changes after Diana's death were supposed to fix. The tabloids were forbidden from following royals or private citizens like paparazzi in public ordinary situations. The legal changes didn't take into account digital abuse which is what we're encountering now.

Hacking a phone is digital abuse and should rightly be stopped.

Printing unflattering headlines isn't "digital abuse". It's just printing unflattering headlines.

Printing unflattering headlines every day for three years without ceasing and while the recipient in heavily pregnant is abuse. It's a digital campaign to target, harass, and harm a single person.

The funny thing is someone like Rebekah Vardy got ONE day of the same type of headlines while pregnant and her people were crying bloody murder. Even the press backed off.

It's not that the British don't understand the effects on maternal health, they just don't care when it comes to a mixed race royal.

Do you know what "digital" means?
