Boo Hoo, no one asked me if I was ok.
Well, perhaps you have pushed away anyone who would actually care enough to ask? Where is your dad? Your sisters? Your mom? Your SIL who you made cry at Charlottes dress fitting, your BIL who you spread lies about a cheating scandal, your friends (who are actually just transactual aquaintences) the list goes on. Perhaps if you had actually wanted to become a member of the family and weren't a royal "B" to yours, people would be here to ask how they can help and if you are ok.
How is Megan just surviving? She pays no bills, has no health issues that we know of, jet sets all over the world when she pleases, just redid the country home to the tune of millions paid for by the Brittish people (who she disses in the interview). Wears coutour and bespoke clothing, attends movie premeirs, got months off before and after the birth. How the hell is this just surviving. She is living pretty much everyone's best life. Minus the friends/family that she has pusehd away and sold lies to the tabloids about.
If they wouldn't wage war against the media they could have all the privacy they want. But they don't want privacy, they WANT the spotlight. I don't know how it has been unfair? What part. The part about her millions spent on clothing? True. The part about her upstaging Eugenie's wedding by announcing her pregnancy? True.
The part about her belly cupping all over Austrailia when the stick could barely even be pink? True. The part about her be sketchy about the birth of ARchie? True.
The part about the weird as hell birth announcement? True.
They part about her million dollar baby shower in NYC? True
The part about her not letting an entire section to be seated at Wimbledon becuase she is so super special? True
The part about her making Kate cry at a dress fitting? True
The part about them lecturing the masses about global warming while jet setting around Europe to see friends? True
The part about her plagorizing the Vogue cover? True

I don't get what hasn't been fair?

I used to love Meghan but she has shown her true colors and lets be honest, it is greed.
I think she is prompting Harry to not take his meds because that dude is unstabnle as hell.

I agree Meghan has made some missteps, but what horrible thing happened in your life to keep this level of detail in your brain about someone you don't even know and be so angry about it? You should really deal with your own mental issues.

What? Because she didn't feel like she had to reveal all the details to the public? Total sketchiness there

Think about it--
Everyone admires the Queen, but how much does anyone really know about her? We know she likes corgis, horses, and. . . .? She has never talked about her likes, dislikes, complaints, etc. She deliberately masks her opinions and personality in public life. Have you ever heard her give a speech--even after 70+ years of speaking, she still reads in a flat schoolgirl voice. That mask of boring respectability allows her to have a private life since the impression is that there isn't much for the press to talk about. In a few years, when Kate's looks have faded, she'll cease to be the center of attention, and she and William will have completely settled down into a respectable uncontroversial public face, and a more-or-less normal private life with their children and a handful of discreet friends.

Harry and Megan, though, are more like Diana was and not hiding their emotions and passions. This makes them much more interesting to the press and public. It can be a valuable way of approaching the job, since it does bring more attention to their causes. However, it also means that they are in the spotlight and the lines between their personal lives and public lives get very blurred.

In an ideal world, the royal family could have public lives where they pursue and promote their causes and interests, and then have private lives that the press and public have no access to. But the reality is that they need to make a choice. And then not complain, since there is nothing more off-putting than someone who has every luxury in the world complaining about their lot in life--especially if they married into it.

The thing is that the Diana model by design is built around pain and controversy. I mean, imagine what if this emotional and vulnerable Diana had a happy marriage with a doting husband? What would there be to be vulnerable about? So to follow the Diana model, H&M would always have to either have or engineer a source of pain and controversy in their (let's admit it, very naturally free of pain!) life.

The QEII/Kate model, outdated though as it can be, centers on the presumption that any scandal/outburst/controversy is bad for the monarchy as it makes people question its whole existence, i.e. if these people are so messed up, why do we need them at all?? People call Kate lazy (with excellent reason) but it should be admitted that her life was and remains pretty free of any significant controversies or scandals - no drugs, no alcohol, no ridiculous relatives, no tears, no outbursts. She also doesn't seem to court publicity or want it.

This. I can’t believe she was complaining on tv about how hard it is for her, being so vulnerable and no one asking how she’s feeling.

Cry my a river,
