Tina's book about Diana was spot on, but Tina refuses to accept that the mindset these days has changed and no one is in the mood for contradictory hypocrisy. Meg is a fruit loop, but Kate is the mooch who refuses to work. Meg spent her single years living a full life and it is clear that some loons have problems with having a life before marriage or even going back to uni. Meg worked because she had to and there is nothing wrong with a woman in her thirties being assertive. Why are people so conservative around royal consorts ? I have a feeling they expect women to spend formative years in towers, never going out and seeing other man, solely preparing for her prince. |

When that was done, princes married princesses, not commoners. They married their own kind.

May 13, 2022
By Kaiser Meghan Markle, Prince Charles, Prince Harry, RoyalsShe started working on the book two years ago: “When Prince Philip was still alive, Prince Andrew was still a tolerated oaf doing the rounds at dinner parties, and Meghan and Harry were still beloved members of the royal family… By the time I got two thirds of the way through, the House of Windsor had turned into a dumpster fire, and I was racing to keep ahead of the next explosion…. they do find ways to survive — even if it means eating their young.”I disagree - they close ranks to protect the heir, no matter how much he may have failed. They have their private impressions of him, but outwardly, the family closes ranks to protect itself. Those who don't fall in line, of course, will be drummed out. She’s worried about Harry’s book too: “Harry spent so many years inveighing about the press, and now he seems to not be able to stop talking: giving interviews that are pretty explosive and invasive to the rest of his family. He remembers, surely, how much it hurt for him when his privacy was invaded, but he’s about to write a book of his own memoirs which clearly will invade the privacy of other members of his family. So he has a very complex — I would say, confused — attitude about it all. Everyone felt like Harry would eventually leave: “The queen felt that too. She was not surprised that Harry was going to choose to get out. What surprised them was the combative and angry way it all went down. That’s what really stunned them. And I think that to this day, Charles, apparently, is particularly baffled as to how it got so bad so fast.I don't think she can profess to know that the Queen felt that, too. Think we know why it went down so badly, and Harry and Meghan have to be held accountable for their part. They had good will and public sympathy on their side, but they overreached and IMO, should have been far more honest, and right from the start. But they weren't - they went the victim route and it cost them. And we see the cracks in their relationships and with the world at large. And, no, not professing to know what the Queen and PC thought, but they WERE imformed, but they chose to let Harry go. Brown thinks there the Sussexit went down the wrong way: “[When] they wanted to bolt for the exit, the really thorny issue being the ability to make money while still retaining their royal patronages and positions. It’s a whole complex, conflict-of-interest mess, because whatever they might say about keeping these interests separate, in their commercial activities, they would be leveraging the crown. That’s why commercial opportunities would come their way, and did come their way; it was about the fact that they were royal. And the monarchy’s about service that is unremunerated. I think that they felt there was a lot of money to be made, and there was, but not as part of the royal system. Having said all that, I think Meghan and Harry are a great loss to the royal family. They were great assets. William wouldn’t know if his family is racist: “It’s a thousand-year-old institution, it’s a white protestant fortress. Meghan didn’t see anyone who looked like herself any of the time that she was there. So for a woman of color to come into that must’ve been extraordinarily difficult.
You cannot explain a 1000 year old foreign institution by cloaking it in terms only a woke and antagonistic social media audience will understand - the British Monarchy lasted 1000 years before Meghan, and she isn't such a fantastical beacon of hope that needed to be brought on the scene and break through the fortress walls. Come on. If anything her supporters, mostly outside the UK, seem to be projecting all their hopes and/or insecurities on this "woman of colour", and ironically, seemingly wanting the BM to respond to and validate their own worthiness. It's almost surreal they want a foreign organization that they know next to squat about to back up their worthiness. Move on...take your woke parade and find your self-esteem elsewhere. On the tension between Kate & Meghan: “It was a very tricky situation, because here’s Harry and his new wife, who actually are more interesting and glamorous and charismatic than the number-one couple: That’s going to lead to tension. Kate is a strong character, very well-educated, very smart. She was the first royal woman, now that I think about it, who had any proper education. She’s impressive, but she’s human, and who needs to be described continually as the Duchess of Dull, compared to the charismatic Meghan?What have you been smoking, Tina? On what Hamburger planet is she the only educated royal woman you can find. Are you kidding us? She stalked a prince to St.Andrews - she barely mastered Art History. Rumour has it she cheated regularly on that front, too. Strong women don't do what they have done - or maybe you have some sympathy for somebody who gained their status on their back and knees or with another woman's husband? Too soon?Meghan & the British press’s racist coverage: “The press started to do a really awful, and typical, chauvinistic and racist tack. The undertone was definitely the lily-white, flawless Kate versus the confounding Meghan. When they were both pregnant, and Kate would be holding her belly — as a pregnant woman tends to do — and it’s, How lovely, Mother Earth Kate. But when Meghan did that, it’s like, What’s the matter with Meghan, why is she always flaunting her pregnancy? It was so blatantly discriminatory… I do think that they should have been more aggressive in their defense of Meghan, and they should’ve done it faster. You can’t tell the press to be positive, but you can give a thundering rebuke. A statement from the queen, Buckingham Palace, would’ve helped, but it didn’t come. Oh, no, you don't get to blame the press for presenting Kate as lily-white and flawless when you are essentially backing them up with your trite and laughable impressions about her character, etc. You are right about the hypocrisy, to a point. The BRF and other families have treated some of their own princesses with much less regard than they have Meghan, so it's hard to find sympathy from me on this front. Yes, I'm all for fairness and find hypocrisy rank, but both Kate and Meghan had it EASY compared to some. Read up on royal history and figure it out for yourself. [From The Cut]

Some comments:ThatsNotOkay says: May 13, 2022 at 10:27 am Looks like Tina saw the drop in book sales, knows she needs the American market to make a true bestseller, and toned down her own racist rhetoric to call the Royal Family (and their press lackeys) black. I mean, not Black, because they would never. But she’s the pot calling the kettle black. Reply Lizzie says: May 13, 2022 at 10:41 am I haven’t seen the sales but not surprised if they are low. The whole book seems to be recycled DM lies. I notice she calls our the tabloid racism in this interview but I don’t think she does so in the book. Reply MeganC says: May 13, 2022 at 11:35 am It’s #4 on the NYT best sellers list which surprises me. I didn’t think there would be that much interest in the US. Blithe says: May 13, 2022 at 12:04 pm MeganC: It’s #4 on the list of Non-fiction books, and I’m pretty sure that means hardcover non-fiction. Check out the other books on the list immediately above and below the TB book. It’s likely that the sales aren’t that impressive compared to the books on the Fiction list. I haven’t checked the actual sales numbers or trends though. Blithe says: May 13, 2022 at 12:09 pm No, I don’t think that she calls out racism in the book, or even identifies it as a critical issue / factor in the stressors that Meghan was faced with. It would be hard though, in the US, to be interviewed and not have the issue raised. I think TB realized that she couldn’t do interviews as part of her book tour and not address the issues— at least tepidly— particularly if she wanted to reach the kind of audiences that tend to purchase hardcover (I.e. relatively expensive) non- fiction books. windyriver says: May 13, 2022 at 12:33 pm Note the current NYT list only represents sales through last Saturday, 5/7. Could look different after tomorrow. On Amazon, appears to have gotten a bit of a bounce since yesterday – now 28, yesterday 51 in hardcover. Six children’s books, including the Very Hungry Catepillar, are still ahead of it. Kindle still poor. Currently 92, yesterday 115. At least back in the top 100. Moxylady says: May 13, 2022 at 10:43 am I read this Twitter comment that the only person who really came out ahead from the racist bullying and attacks was Kate. That the direct comparison was one she would never look good under unless Meghan was smeared for everything. That William looked bad in comparison for having a do nothing wife. Even if he’s a do nothing himself. But also he looked very bad in his relationship compared to Harry which again boiled down to Kate- in their minds. It was a black woman’s analysis and I think it’s very very spot on. That while William is awful the one who had benefited the most has clearly been Kate. And that made me rethink a lot of things. Reply Kalana says: May 13, 2022 at 11:06 am William has also lost so much. He lost the asset he had in Harry and he gave up so much capital to attack and bully Meghan. His image had been damaged by this and he’s now known as an angry cheater who works with the tabloids against his own family. How many tes.has he negatively trended on Twitter? Kate could have come out of this with no damage at all if she hadn’t kept copying Meghan.and removed the crying story from Tatler. William gave up way too much for something that mostly benefits Kate Tessa says: May 13, 2022 at 6:59 pm Kate also gave herself away when a child mentioned Harry and Meghan, Kate rolled her eyes and said Next. Nic919 says: May 14, 2022 at 4:48 pm Kate is behind the story that set up the angry black woman narrative that continues to this day. The bridesmaid story came from her or Carole. And her own family directly criticized Meghan in a way no one else in the royal family did. They would  behind courses, but Carole and Gary directly said critical things of Meghan. Princess Karen and her family knew what they were doing.
