Meghan Markle! Thoughts on the People's Princess Kate Middleton telling that rachet American trash not abuse her staff?

[nightdrot]

Sorry, I don't follow the question at all. Last anything was heard on this subject in the States was that the Duchess of Sussex was about to gush, in the odious American "bleed all over the floor" style of her woes on national television. At which point some on her former staff complained that she was abusive to them to the point where the palace felt obliged to look into the matter.

What the Duchess of Cambridge has to do with all of this I have not heard. Also, I have no idea what the word "rachet" means. Checking the dictionary I do not find it to be a word at all.

Nonetheless, I start as an American who is nonetheless an admirer of Britain and the monarchy. Who also thinks that the Queen has done her duty tirelessly and almost without a misstep since she took the throne and has set a standard of excellence that is to be admired.

So, starting from that point, about the most I can say is that the Duchess of Sussex and her husband chose the life they did presumably because they wanted more privacy and fewer obligations. If this was the case, for Duchess Meghan to go on national television with her troubles - real or imagined - is just another dreary example of this generation whinny self-pity and self-absorption.

The confessional culture of a generation that cannot imagine that there is anything more important than its troubles and its angst. Here aggravated by the hypocrisy of trading on one's unearned fame to hog the spotlight that she claimed she could not bear.

It is tiresome and petty, albeit in this case taking a stab at national institution of a country of which she is not native. Thus adding a loathsome dimension of ingratitude and hypocrisy to the whole pathetic affair. The Duchess, and sadly her husband, are the products of a pathetic generation that it is utterly unfamiliar with a true sense of duty and sacrifice, let alone the British reputation for a "stiff upper lip" and keep calm and carry on."

It is pathetic. Only in this case, as noted, taking a swipe at a national institution that has served Britain well over the centuries. No matter, the Duchess, who has, please note, not renounced her title cannot imagine anything more important than her personal discontents.

It is only to be hoped that there is enough of a reservoir of common sense and character in the British public - and in the world at large - to see this for what it is and react to it accordingly. With sneering disdain and eye rolling.

As Churchill said of the monarchy, "Ministers come and go, but the King remains, always at the center of public affairs... He is the continuous element in the constitution, one of the main safeguards of its democratic character, and the repository of a knowledge of affairs that before long comes to transcend that of any individual statesman... The victorious democracies, in driving out hereditary sovereigns, supposed that they were moving on the path to progress. They have in fact gone further and fared worse. A royal dynasty looking back upon the traditions of the past, and looking forward to a continuity in the future, offers an element of security to the liberty and happiness of nations."

Weighed against that, the weepy prattling of the Duchess of Sussex - currently on sabbatical until the next time the cameras show up - is to be taken for what is, i. e. self-pitying tripe.

To finish out, what the Duchess of Cambridge has to do with all of this I have not heard. Other than to say that if she has instructed that the American media not approach her staff, that is within her rights and reflects a prudence that one would wish she could see in her American born sister-in-law.

She has bitten off more than she can chew.
To be honest I feel sorry for Harry.
His wife is going to make him choose between family or her.
It's like history repeating it's self.
His mother tried this , we all know what happened to her..

From one understand she’s actually a classy lady unlike Megan Markel who is pretty much just a race baiter

Meghan is a different kind of princess. She is not Kate, nor should she attempt to be. She and her husband have eschewed the many traps and benefits of Royal life. Being part black, American, and independent before she met Harry, she has a mind of her own and does not wish to bend to 400 years of tradition. I don't consider her abusive nor trash.

Kate is so hot that it is hard to believe that she is British. No offense

I'm tired of seeing this woman in questions. Why are you so interested in her? 🙄
