Beware of being manipulated by the media when trying to come to conclusions as to who did or said what to whom and beware of partial or one-sided trickles of information. All I know is the royal family have history in dealing badly with people in their circles they don't like, there have been several reported incidents of racist remarks made by people in royal circles (as to the colour of prospective babies, going slitty-eyed and "no, where are you really from", etc.) and there have been fast-and-loose dealings (to put it euphemistically) in many of their personal relationships. Not to speak of Andrew, of course. Had they been a run-of-the-mill extended family just down your street, you'd definitely have been thinking of them as a dysfunctional family and the gossip-mongers would be having a field day. So Meghan gets it in the neck for upsetting the applecart or rocking the boat. Well I am not privy to the intimate details of all these goings-on and I've never met Harry and Meghan, but I do think I'm picking up little whiffs of misogyny and racism in what's reported or commented about Meghan. She's just one young lady who got herself tangled up in a big bunch of hard-bitten and ruthless operators. "The firm", right?
