All good thoughts. Here are mine.
First and foremost, I pay little attention to royal drama, but this has been hard to avoid in the news headlines.
Second,
to the extent that Brits' hatred of Megan has to do with her eschewing the whole royalty nonsense, I disagree with that, and I say to Megan, more power to you - I give her a lot of respect for deciding to be a normal, real person and want to live a normal life. Can she be criticized for knowing what she was marrying into, then objecting to it? Yes, I suppose - Unless she had discussed this a bit with her spouse before marriage and she already knew that he would be willing to walk a little ways away from this, in which case, it's not so "crazy" seeming. I completely like the fact that she calls out the ridiculousness of some aspects of the whole royalty game - which seems to me nothing more than a game, but worse, one that masquerades as some sort of useful reality. And, let's be honest - hasn't EVERY married person, at some point in their life, complained about something that--theoretically--they were aware of what they were "getting into" when they first got married? Absolutely - nobody is innocent of that. Nobody I've ever met or heard of, anyway. My view is, perhaps she was willing to give the "royalty" thing a chance - but then it manifested into something worse than she expected. Who knows.
Third, while #2 might give you the impression that I fully support Megan and denounce those who dislike her, I have to confess that (as an open minded person watching these things unfold), I've actually begun to see the point of those who see her as a vindictive, selfish meddler. I'm starting to think maybe she is now just trying to justify everything and make things worse than they are (so somebody wondered how brown Archie would be? anyone might - the mere curiosity of it is not r@cist, it's just perhaps a bit poor judgment to wonder out loud!), and I find it hard to believe that she is blaming her mental health issues on the crown. Like she couldn't just go see a psychiatrist any time she wanted, I'm 100% sure that she had the means? Mine only costs $45/visit after insurance!
Earlier on, while she was merely objecting to certain idiocies of royal life, she had my support. Now I think she may have devolved into just a vindictive meddler who is now (as someone else said in an earlier post) thinking mostly of what drama can be drummed up to generate her next career step.
But of course, neither I nor anyone else knows the real truth of what happened since we weren't there. Hopefully everyone is OK and can go back to playing their respective games - those with costumes & thrones, and those with acting for Netflix.
