I’m supposed to feel about Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and veteran of some USA Network original series about lawyers or something. “She’s a liar! She’s a diva! She’s a gold-digger! She’s just using those poor, poor royals as a stepping stone! She should be grateful for what she has, instead of whining about how racist her in-laws are!” All of that is true. And here’s something else that’s true: Meghan Markle has done more to disrupt the British monarchy than George Washington ever could’ve dreamed.
If you’re not a student of history, here’s a quick recap: America used to be run by the king of England, but the colonies didn’t like how that was going. So they kicked some Redcoat ass until those limeys left us to our own affairs. Here, this educational video explains it: snip
No more kings! For the last few centuries, we haven’t needed to do what any king or queen tells us to do. And because of that freedom, America has flourished so much that from time to time we’ve even helped out our former oppressors. “Oh, you’re losing a war with the Nazis? Fine, we’ll see what we can do.” “What’s that, you’ve got four adorable mop-tops who want to sell a few records? Sure, send ’em across the pond and we’ll have Ed Sullivan take a look.” “That odd-looking chap with the unpronounceable name is good at playing Sherlock Holmes? Okay, he can be Dr. Strange.” We’re a gracious people, we Americans, and we’re willing to let bygones be bygones.

Yes, western democracies/republics are turning out so wonderfully just now, aren’t they?
At least we have tons of free porn and we’re fat as shit.
While we’re at it, let’s bring in millions of borderline retarded non Whites...yeah!...
Perhaps someone can explain to me why any of these people, especially Harry and Meaghan, deserve such attention. Any attention really.
I like the monarchy as little as anybody out there. Like Thomas Payne, I think the very concept is horrible. But I gotta side with the queen on this one.
I am sorry but you seem to be laboring under a false impression that Washington have a flipping rip about the British monarchy.
As long as they were not actively opposing him, he did not.
And he would probably tell you that it as been 200 years since we fought a war with them and you should probably let it go.
For the love of mike you sound like some deranged (pardon the redundancy) Mohammedan.
Or a member of Burn, Loot, Murder
You are right. It’s tasteless.
Eh. If the Brits like to have a Monarchy why should I worry about it? They can do as they please. But be that as it may, Markle is one nasty piece of work.
Meghan reminds me of a petulant pampered princess who is complaining that she cant get a new Mercedes. She has to drive last year’s model.
Oh woe is me
I don’t really think about those people, but I suppose I wish Mr. and Mrs. Markle the best.
I am an anglophile but I like my royals dead. King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, etc.

“When a Hollywood actress gets paid $7,000,000 to complain to a billionaire talk show host about how becoming a Princess made her a victim it becomes clear that America is in dire need of a better class of attention whores.”
Me too.
Meghan is the Ugly American personified.
well, the american experiment in democracy is obviously a failure. let’s ask for a massive mullligan on the revolution, reestablish the monarchy, and offer markle’s husband the crown. he’d take it; he’s out of the running for the British crown, but he’s royal enough for us.
wtf, it’s better than what we have now, and it’s better than what’s probably coming.
Notice the “media” took every syllable uttered by those two to be gospel truth. Nobody dared challenge their credibility.
The author of the article gave you a big one.
In fact, our FRiend here has been saying EXACTLY the same thing for a while. Maybe she's an influencer.
And for what it's worth, has anyone considered the possibility that the Royals really ARE racist? I mean, it's not like they're all Deplorables who really don't care about anything except the content of your character. They chewed up and spit out Diana, Fergie (the real one), and probably a few I didn't know. Harry donned a swastika for Halloween. Prince Phillip routinely makes fun of people's race, looks, and nationalities.
And one final item lost on everyone, is that Harry and Meghan poll even with Kate and William and better than the other Royals with people under 30. Only old people dislike them, and they'll be long gone when Charles eats it.
I won't be inviting Harry and Meghan to my barbecue, and I'm sure she'd hate my personal views on economics, the proper role of the State, and Springsteen. But I'm not as dismissive of her claims as others are, and if her rattling makes King Charles' reign a living hell, well, maybe that's not too shabby.
Agree
I couldn't care less about the monarchy either way. They're not over us. The majority of brits absolutely love the Monarchy; particularly the Queen. They do not have the power they once had and from what I've seen, are mostly figure heads. In any case, it is 'their' tradition; their country...their business.
Now we're stuck with these 2 grifters running around whining for money. What a crock.

I have always liked Queen Elisabeth. She served her country during WW2 and has always been a class act.
