Americans, how aware are you of the British royal family, especially Princess Diana? Do you believe Meghan Markle did not know who Prince Harry was?

[Anonymous]

And also her claim that she never looked him up online when they started dating?

[God_of_Thunder]

I would recognize most of the royal family on sight, if I ever happened to see them.

I know who they are, and some/most of what they've done, the same as any other important, or recognizable, person on the world stage. They don't hold any particular significance to me, beyond that, but I definitely do know who they are.

I don't know a whole lot about Meghan, honestly, so I'd never heard that about her, but I would doubt the veracity of such a statement. I'm sure there are plenty of Americans who don't know the royal family, because our media & education is very US-centric, but I find it hard to believe she would have been one of them.

It's nearly impossible to be of a certain age, and not know who Princess Diana was. Growing up, she was always in the news, especially after the accident. I can believe the younger generation may not know her, but Meghan is certainly old enough that she would have known.

Several times she has said she didn't know who he was and never wanted to google him. She wrote about William and Kates wedding in 2011 on her blog when it happened, did you know that? Did you also know she visited Buckingham Palace at the age of 16 and there's pictures to prove it?
She cut off all family and invited celebrities to her wedding then ditched the royal family and isolated harry to control him. She's using him

[God_of_Thunder]

I honestly don't know, a really even care, enough about her to render a judgement, one way or the other.

Just based on what you've said here, though; it sounds like she's lying.

[Fireguy17]

I have heard the names, but no clue what they actually do.
I know Diana was banging at least 1 person besides Chuck.
Just think how sad their lives are.
You are always under a microscope, you can't even fart by accident in public.
Can't you just see the headlines, Princess Diana is caught crop dusting at what ever event it was.
They would spin it by saying it was like a sparkly unicorn rainbow that followed her through the room.
Not 6 guests almost pass out after Diana crop dusts the luncheon after having taco bell earlier today.

I'm not American and I'm not British either but I'm able to recognize the British Royal Family.

I don't like Meghan Markle, she seems fake, racist and manipulative to me. I don't believe that she didn't know who Prince Harry was. She probably said that so people wouldn't think that she was after his money and fame.

[MzAsh]

Most Americans know who the royal family is, but she was also a Hollywood actress before she met him. And people in Hollywood are pretty clueless about anything outside of their little bubble.

[WindAtMyBack]

It's possible she didn't know who he was. I could not identify most of the royal family by sight. When Harry married Meghan it got a lot of publicity. But before that I could not have identified Harry or any of the other kids in his generation. I don't even know how many there are.

There really isn't any reason why I would know any of those people.

[DaveJord]

I have never heard of this before about Meghan Merkle... I mean as an American who gives two shits about the British Royals myself, I still knew about Harry, William, Diana and Charles... Harry is the red head. So Meghan who one would assume is more up on her pop culture then the average person is full of shit.

[DaveJord]

I will admit if I saw harry on the street I would not automatically recognize him and a prince. so I guess it all depends on the circumstance of their meeting if she knew who he was. But if I did see this guy and he told me his name was Harry, I think I might make the connection.

[pepper1993]

Don't know who ANY of them are. I mean I've heard of Prince Harry I believe, and he has a brother or something. But that's it. I've heard of Princess Diana but that was waaay before my time.

[Wise4myage]

Diana was an awesome Princess, Meghan Markle can't hold a candle to Diana.

[YakubDavid]

I'm British, but yeah. I imagine she didn't know. A lot of Americans, especially her type are pretty clueless about the world outside America.

[Asker]

Really? But she wrote about William and Kates wedding in 2011 on her blog when it happened, did you know that? Did you also know she visited Buckingham Palace at the age of 16 and there's pictures to prove it?

[YakubDavid]

You can still be ignorant. You give the American mind too much credit. Maybe she was lying, maybe she was ignorant. Who knows?

[Asker]

If your friend also set you up with a guy, she would have known about him and who he was right, like what he did for a living (being in the Royal family was his job) and she claims to have never googled him after im sure that friend told her he was a prince.

[YakubDavid]

Who knows for sure? I wasn't there. It doesn't concern me... why would I worry?

[Asker]

Well then why bother to answer the question?

[YakubDavid]

I did answer it. Sometimes answers can be "Who knows?". Can it not?

[monorprise]

@yakubdavid A lot of Americans are fairly clueless about the world beyond their city, particularly people like Meghan Markle.

[Asker]

@monorprise Several times she has said she didn't know who he was and never wanted to google him. She wrote about William and Kates wedding in 2011 on her blog when it happened, did you know that? Did you also know she visited Buckingham Palace at the age of 16 and there's pictures to prove it?

[monorprise]

I think maybe your overestimating the intellectual curiosity and concern of a lot of people like Meghan Markle. It's possible she is simply lying, but its also possible she simply thought the palace was a pretty house and no more knew than she cared what she was looking at.

[ShadezMcgee]

Pretty sure most of us don't give two shits about them. Who cares?

[Anonymous]

Doesn't matter because God made it a match in heaven. Instead of some British snooot.

[Opinion Owner]

The only thing they did wrong was not sit down with his family over the USA move. Now have to pay for it? They are treated shabbily and it is low class ass.

[SiberFox]

Markle is manipulative sociopath

[Asker]

I agree

[Asker]

I wish oprah did her research because if piers morgan did that interview then God help her he would have some many questions back at her

She wrote about William and Kates wedding in 2011 on her blog when it happened. She visited Buckingham Palace at the age of 16 and there's pictures to prove it

[OddBeMe]

I hardly know or care.

[Jamie05rhs]

Bullshit. She knew.
