i'm not a fan of hers and i would say this and she probably has heard that but i wish a lot of luck
to harry because he's going to need it Hi everyone i hope you're all well so i am sure that you've
all heard by now that meghan markle and prince harry did a bombshell tell all interview with
oprah winfrey about how terrible their lives were as a royal couple and how mean the press
was to me again and now how happy they are to be free of the confines of royal life blah blah blah
i'm not going to react to the interview in this video i mean people have already done that what i
want to do is provide a kind of monarchy 101 crash course to help people who maybe don't know that
much about the royal family understand exactly why megan and harry created such a firestorm
and no it's not just because of the work stuff now i should make it very clear as a citizen of
the commonwealth a conservative and an anglophile i am an avowed royalist a staunch monarchist and a
vehement opponent of the vile notion that australia should someday become a republic i find
that to be a repugnant suggestion so admittedly i am coming at this topic with a certain degree of
bias however i do happen to have a somewhat better understanding of the forces at play here than
say your average american talk show host who thinks it's effective to talk about the royal
family in the same way they would discuss kim and kanye see i know many of you kind-hearted
people have watched that interview and despite all of the annoying work stuff that megan and
harry have espoused you will have felt pity for meghan markle i mean look it is undeniable that
she was under pressure and of course it was a big change for her i'm sure she had depression
and i'm certainly not going to stand here and defend the press you all know how much i hate
most of the media but what you need to understand is that meghan markle was willfully defying royal
convention in subtle ways right from the start contrary to what she and harry assert she is not
blameless now i'm going to split this video into two chapters in chapter one i'll address and
correct some of the claims that megan and harry made in their interview so if you are already
aware of a lot of these claims and why they are false then feel free to skip to chapter two
you'll see the time stamp at the bottom of the screen there for my analysis of why
meghan markle failed at being a royal thanks to forces she herself put in play here we go
my family literally cut me off financially and i had to afford to afford security for us but
i've got what my mum left me and without that we would not have been able to do this
number one megan and harry claimed that megan was offered no help or training in how to be a royal
this is false in 2018 it was revealed by harper's bazaar that samantha cohen who is megan and
harry's former press secretary and who had been with the royals for 17 years provided megan with
six months of duchess training after she got engaged to harry lie number two the major talking
point of the interview was the charge of racism leveled at an unnamed member of the royal family
who allegedly expressed concerns about what their son archie's skin colour would be when he was born
now that claim stripped through the media and the twittersphere and was a terrible look for
the royal family well at least it would be if megan and harry could keep their story straight
in the first part of the interview megan stated that this alleged conversation took place
while she was pregnant with archie and it related specifically to him
however when harry joined the interview and oprah referred back to the question harry stated that
the conversation took place right at the start of their relationship well before megan was pregnant
he quoted it as a comment about what will the kids look like rather than what will archie look like
now for such a key point it's strange there were two markedly different versions of the tale
considering this glaring discrepancy and the fact that they told multiple whoppers in the interview
i'm inclined to take that allegation with a sizeable grain of salt particularly since they
will not name the family member i mean sheesh if you want to shape the narrative at least be
consistent with the storytelling lie number three megan alleged that the royal family denied archie
the title of prince and the official security that goes with that because he is mixed race
so not true it is perfectly fitting with royal convention that the son of the second child of
the heir to the throne that is prince charles does not get a title there are only so many prince and
princess titles that can be thrown around and there are other members of the royal family who
are not provided with taxpayer-funded security i have put some links in the video description
if you would like to read about the specifics line number four megan asserted she had not
googled harry before they started dating that she had not done any research on what it meant to be
a royal prior to their marriage and that she had grown up not knowing much about the royal family
however their biography states differently which while megan and harry did not contribute to it
was written by people who were very much on side and very well sourced as outlined
in the biography entitled finding freedom and as reported by the daily mail friends of the dutches
have painted a different picture revealing that she was fascinated by the royals in her youth
nanaki pretty who was megan's maid of honor at her first wedding to trevor engelson said her
friend was always fascinated by the royal family she wants to be princess diana 2.0
she added she had one of princess diana's books diana her true story on her bookshelf and even
when she was with trevor she told me she wanted to go and stay in london for at least a month
i know she used to love the princess diaries films sounds pretty knowledgeable to me i think
the reason megan insisted in the interview that she didn't really know what she was getting into
is because if people knew she actually did have at least some idea then the narrative
that she did nothing wrong and is simply a victim of racism falls to pieces with that
let's move on to chapter two i was silent uh were you silent or were you silenced the latter
megan has positioned herself as a victim of bullying and racism from the press
stating during the interview that it was all happening to her simply for breathing it was all
happening just because i was breathing this is simply not true meghan markle
did not assimilate herself into the royal family pointedly so remember she was very
popular with the press initially the negative coverage came later on and from my perspective
it was round about the time she started talking about politics we all remember
when she and harry lectured the public on climate change and carbon footprints while
flying around in private jets very hypocritical and not helped by the fact that photos emerged
of prince william and catherine middleton flying a commercial airline with their children megan also
very publicly took umbrage at the fact that the literary curriculum at british universities as
well as the teaching staff were too pale male and stale to put it bluntly now that was actually
the first time she became political she backed up campaign put forward by black academics to
decolonize the curriculum and promote black and female thinkers instead of white male thinkers
in other words they would replace traditional literary icons like say shakespeare and lord
byron who shaped the modern western literary tradition with nondescript authors and thinkers
who would only be there because of their race and gender rather than their merits now these
displays of political activism ruffled feathers because the royals are not allowed to be political
they are not allowed to voice any political partisanship or to run for public office and they
even abstain from voting and while prince charles certainly has bent that rule over the years
it got particularly potent when meghan markle came onto the scene now this was just one of the ways
that megan made it clear early on that she had no intention of trying her best to be a royal she
was happy to repeatedly and very publicly break the apolitical convention which is an important
rule because it allows the royals to be symbols of unity transcending politics and the reason she did
this was because when she started dating harry and then sort of effectively joined the family
she carried with her the mentality of a hollywood actress rather than transitioning to a royal
mentality she maintained the hollywood actress way of thinking which is simply incompatible with
being a royal namely because an actress is all about building one's own brand building a royal is
about maintaining the standing and reputation of the royal brand which you all share and represent
megan let slip this hollywood mentality in the interview when she insisted that she was silenced
rather than being silent spoken in relation to her assertion that she was told she couldn't
respond to stories in the press that were untrue or unfair see when a hollywood star gets bad press
you know they put out a tweet they do an interview they get their press team to draft a response
however while the royals will put out spot fires here and there they know that the best way to kill
a story and thus maintain the family brand is to ignore it i mean the news cycle is so fast
it would generally die of its own accord megan evidently did not understand that difference
in operation and couldn't cope with it hence the fact she thought she was silenced and aside from
anything else it's not true that the royal family did nothing about false stories as megan asserts
according to the daily mail which is one of the outlets that megan and harry are not very fond of
mail on sunday royal correspondent emily andrews has said that megan's press team
did in fact defend untrue stories saying that this was just not right miss andrew said that she
interacted with a press team who defended the sussexes to quote ms andrews again and again
and again told me things were wrong so didn't publish and indeed tried to stop me when true
the daily mail also asserted that the palace did robustly stand ground on many other stories that
the couple insisted were not true resulting in the media not running them but it wasn't just politics
megan also refused to follow royal conventions on a number of subtle things now this is not because
she didn't know the rules remember she had six months of duchess training despite what she and
harry said to oprah she simply chose not to follow them because they didn't fit with the way that she
was used to doing things as a hollywood actress in my opinion she did things like routinely defying
the royal dress code for example one rule that the royals have is that they don't wear black
unless it is a somber event or someone close to them has died the thinking behind this is so that
the general public who remember pays for them can see them clearly when they're out and about now
this would seem like a simple convention to follow and yet photo after photo of megan emerged wearing
not only black but things like no pantyhose or no hat when she was supposed to or pants instead
of a skirt lots of small but distinct breeches of protocol and while look she's not the only role to
have done this catherine middleton has had a few boo-boos over the years with hemlines and wedges
megan seemed to make it routine rather than accidental now the casual observer will dismiss
these things as minor and on the surface it would certainly seem that way i mean it's clothes
but megan's defiance of these royal conventions sent a clear message to the royal family i know
your rules but i will not follow them because i don't want to so deal with it now maybe you think
the rules are silly or archaic and look maybe that can be argued but in this context that doesn't
matter the british royal family is a 1200 year old institution tradition and conventions both great
and small are the keystone of their existence particularly in an age when the monarchy no longer
has any legislative power hence the significance of megan continually defying these conventions it
was a deliberate undermining of the institution then there were the public displays of affection
between her and harry you know holding hands etc which is something that the royals tend to avoid
another pointed break from convention it was all a very deliberate thumbing of her nose i think and
in that institution that is simply not going to fly and when it didn't fly both with family and
the public she cried about it claimed she was a victim of racism and left taking harry with her
why because she's a wokey and a hollywood actress not a royal she was not criticized
simply for breathing nor was she targeted for her race specifically by the press in fact megan and
harry have not provided any examples of commentary targeting megan specifically for her race but
remember they would see everything through the prism of identity politics and critical race
theory she and harry would likely argue that the very fact that megan was being criticized a lot
was racist in itself because of course it simply wouldn't happen to her if she wasn't biracial
this is ridiculous every member of the voi of the royal family has been targeted in some way
by the british tabloids and while megan and harry are definitely correct in saying that the volume
of this in the past was much less thanks to a lack of social media that's not the point
the point is that they have portrayed megan as unfairly targeted because of her race now if you
want to see a direct refutation of that just look how sarah ferguson duchess of york was treated
in the early days she really was brutalized just for existing the press picked on her clothes her
mannerisms even her weight they nicknamed her the duchess of pork when she put on a lot of weight
while she was pregnant and had trouble losing it which is not only rude but ragingly sexist
please show me where megan has copped criticism even remotely close to that based on her race or
otherwise megan put herself out there as an overtly political convention-defying royal
who along with her husband continually patronized the british public when it came to climate change
of course she garnered criticism and put the press offside it has nothing to do with being biracial
after all in the regressive leftist swamp that is most of the media biracial people are a protected
class in fact megan actually had plenty of support in the media the woke outlets loved her as does
all of hollywood i mean she's had plenty of public figures and outlets advocating for her over the
past few years the problem she has is that she is used to being adored for her fashion choices and
progressive political initiatives i mean look you know how progressives all feel like they're
on a moral crusade with the moral high ground and are therefore entitled to tell the little people
how to think which the little people should be grateful for all of which is very much indulged
in the hollywood bubble but not when you're a royal megan simply refused to see this so when
she didn't get the coverage she felt she deserved she cried about it and said it wasn't fair
but what did she expect the royals are beholden to the british taxpayer and are as such expected
and obliged to behave in a certain way royals are certainly not obliged to lecture and patronize the
very people who are funding them meghan markle felt that she could walk into a 1200 year old
institution as this trendy american progressive shake things up and be lauded for it she thought
she'd be just like anne hathaway's character in the princess diaries it speaks to her ego
and sense of entitlement that she expected to be adored and was so shocked when she wasn't she has
blamed everyone except herself and harry has just gone along with it how very very disappointing
