You don't live in similar digs? How can she live with her white half or sleep in the same bed as her lily white husband.

America is going through a difficult time. Since we could all use some words of encouragement, Meghan Markle, duchess of Sussex and wife of Britain’s Prince Harry, decided she’s just the inspiring gal for the job.
In an emotional video message for the graduating class of her alma mater, the all-girls Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles, Meghan starts by telling the students, “I wasn’t sure what I could say to you. I wanted to say the right thing and I was really nervous that it would get picked apart. And I realized the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing.”
She seems to be echoing a famous quote often attributed to Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Meghan’s sentiment is lovely, although the backlash against Sen. Tom Cotton’s recent op-ed in the New York Times — which forced two editors at the paper to resign — suggests there are “wrong things” to say right now besides saying nothing. Luckily for Meghan, her views fall entirely on the side of allowable opinion.
She tears up as she shares her memories of the Los Angeles riots in 1992. Then she encourages the students, “You’re going to use your voice in a stronger way than you have ever been able to because most of you are 18 — or you’re turning 18 — so you’re going to vote.”
There can be little doubt about who Meghan believes the students should vote for. Before she married Prince Harry, she called President Donald Trump “divisive” and “misogynistic.” Recently, Prince Harry was caught on a prank call saying Trump has “blood on his hands” because he supports the coal industry.
Meghan’s preferred candidate, Joe Biden, had already been a U.S. senator for 20 years when the Los Angeles riots took place. So it seems a wee bit optimistic of her to expect him to bring the kind of change she would like to see.
We should probably be grateful Meghan is only encouraging the students to vote rather than to go out rioting. Yet, as it happens, Immaculate Heart has a reputation for progressive activism, so there’s a decent chance the students have already taking to the streets.
One alumna told the Catholic Herald, “As I recall, the line between political assembly and liturgy was fairly thin in my early days at IH — and that felt perfectly natural. It was no big deal to receive Communion from the nuns, or to hear a sermon delivered by a woman, or to sing ‘We Are a Gentle Angry People.’”
Meghan is not Catholic and has no religious background. She did, however, get a quickie baptism into the Church of England right before her marriage to Prince Harry.
In her video message, Meghan recalls how one of her teachers at Immaculate Heart told her to “always remember to put others’ needs above your own fears.” She says she thinks about this often, particularly in recent weeks, which seems a little disingenuous coming from someone who is constantly protected by private security.
Given how much is going on in America and the world right now, it is remarkable how well Meghan and Prince Harry have managed to stay in the public eye. Meghan’s video message seems to be her own initiative. Immaculate Heart High School’s website doesn’t indicate she was their invited commencement speaker. But Meghan released the speech publicly via Essence magazine so the rest of America could be inspired as well.
The duo quit their jobs with the British royal family earlier this year — an event gleefully nicknamed “Megxit” by the media. They are currently borrowing a mansion in the Hollywood Hills from Tyler Perry that is worth $18 million. No doubt their private security team will keep any potential looters at bay.
Prince Harry and Meghan’s biggest headache is drones flying overhead trying to photograph them. They’ve been calling the police to complain. But who will they call if the Los Angeles Police Department is defunded?
Currently, the couple intends to settle in Los Angeles and are preparing a host of new ventures. They’re setting up a charitable foundation and plan to get involved with the Black Lives Matter movement. In August, a new book about the couple promises to share their version of Megxit.
Make no mistake: the video message for Immaculate Heart High School was only the opening salvo. Meghan Markle is back in America, and it appears we’re all going to hear from her — whether we want to or not.
That brings back memories of the old Danny Kaye movie, "The Court Jester" where they rushed him through knight qualification.

What I want to hear from Meghan?
“You get on top baby”...…..
Oh, yeah, that was a great one, wasn’t it?
CA....
Their carbon footprint remains massive, I see. How environmentally responsible of them.
They should have stayed in Canada.
They do a lot of filming there instead of the us, and its such a more european progressive place than america, they wouldn’t efen need security there.
The new Eminem: M & M: Her Royal-ness, Meghan Markle.
Sorry, Meg. When you divorced the Royal Family you lost the A List. Nobody cares what you think anymore.
Who they sponging off of now ?
Tyler Perry who plays the female character Madea in the movies.
How come Meghan’s not canceled. She married into a slave trading family and her BFF Jessica Mulroney is canceled as a racist.
How could you forget?
One of the cable channels last month started running a preview/promo of a movie Markle was in, “... in one of the first major roles for the Duchess of ...”
Maybe on a Starz reruns channel. I tune that promo out, so I can’t even name the movie. I even avoid her crap on the Hallmark channel.
Suits? Watched maybe the first two seasons of the original run. Can’t remember why I stopped. Didn’t remember her from that series, either.
I don't even know what that is other than something that girl was involved with.
I don't watch anything that mentions her. That makes it easy for me to forget who she is.
Oh, on top of that, I have always been repulsed by all of the hype about Diana of Wales.
