"My mother was chased to her death while in a relationship with someone who wasn't white" ....

[A HERETIC I AM]

"and now look what's happened. You want to talk about history repeating itself? They're not going to stop till she dies." - Prince Harry, referencing his mother, Princess Diana while speaking about his wife and the racism and trauma Meghan Markle is and has been going through.

I found this on Twitter. It is an incredibly moving 7 minutes of video where Harry shares how difficult it has been for the both of them to deal with the racism aimed at them from the British press and elsewhere.

If you had any questions about why they moved away from England, this should dispel them.

Edit to say I found the source, it is from a Documentary on Apple TV called "The Me You Can't See" If you haven't seen this segment, it's well worth the watch

1. I don't get the subject line of the post.

2. Diana

6. Got it now....thought it was King Charles making the statement....my bad.

Thanks!

4. Diana and the brouhaha over her relationship with Dodi Fayed.

[blm]

7. Quote from Harry referencing his mother's death

while fleeing the tabloid paparazzi who were following her and Dodi Fayed.

[A HERETIC I AM]

8. Yes, as the others above mentioned, he was talking about the death of his mother, Princess Diana

I apologize for not making that more clear.

I've edited to clarify.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. Not your fault, entirely mine.

I screwed up with the Royal that was stating this.

[claudette]

9. Princess Diana

was constantly being chased by the press which led to the crash that caused her death. She was in a relationship with an Arab, Dodi Al Fayed.

[ret5hd]

3. As little care/attention I give to the royal family...

my opinion of him and his wife just shot up immensely.

[claudette]

12. I don't blame them for coming to America

to live. Besides, Charles treated Harry’s mother so terribly that I wouldn’t want to live near them either

13. Good for Harry to stand up to that obvious abusing institution and put his family first.

I really like Diana and he seems very much like her.

Also, I always feel kind of disappointed when I am reminded that our cousins, the Brits, are just a backward as we are.

[SergeStorms]

18. Though not quite as violent.

They still settle arguments the old fashioned way: a good old slobber knocker of a fist fight instead of using guns.

Who knows, if guns were as easy to obtain in the U.K. they might be as violent and gun-happy us we Yanks.

[wnylib]

20. Where do you think that we got it from?

But they look down their noses at us as inferiors whom they would prefer to disown as relatives.

[crickets]

14. Incredibly moving.

It's heartbreaking when Harry says that he knows his family cannot give him what he needs. (Support for him and his wife.) What a blow to face, but good on him for recognizing it and taking action.

Also, huge props to him for speaking out so openly and honestly about mental health.

Harry has grown up to be every bit his mother's son in all the best ways. Leaving royalty behind and taking his wife and children away from the UK media cauldron was the right decision. I wish them all the best.

15. Never did understand

why they had those boys walk behind their mothers casket for miles, on foot.

Should have sheltered them, and he has never recovered.

[Hekate]

33. You didn't know? The family -- their father Charles and grandma Queen -- were going to have ...

… a very private family funeral with no royal pomp. The divorcee, after all, was not really part of their family any more, but she was the mother of the boys — well, all families have to deal with this kind of thing these days.

The boys were visiting at Balmoral when Diana died — talk about being sheltered. It was there that the news was broken to them.

Meanwhile, the public was piling flowers around the castle, and demanding some acknowledgment from Charles and the Queen. Public sentiment and grief for The People’s Princess was running high. I think it was Charles who finally told his mother what was really going on, and she went out to greet her people and look at the flowers and messages of condolence.

Plans changed. I remember the boys walking too — but honest to god I thought they had asked to be part of their mother’s funeral.

That is all.

16. Heartbreaking story. I'm rarely on the Twitter machine, but I retweeted this interview.

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. Thanks for posting

He's grown up to be a remarkable person. His mother would be proud.

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. You're welcome

He's grown up to be a remarkable person. His mother would be proud.

Indeed. He does seem to have learned how to deal with this enormous difficulty. I hope the both of them continue to recover from the abuse they have been subjected to.

[Heather MC]

19. Basically whether you're in England, or America, there's very dangerous Caucasian people

That are happy to kill you or to stoke up enough fires to get someone willing to kill you.🤷🏾?♀️

Are we ready to have this conversation about the dangers of Caucasian people on the right🤔

They're literally A national, and International health hazard for the entire planet

And the worst, are the ones on the right who remains silent and allow these people to fester

[3catwoman3]

21. I think the paparazzi would have hounded Diana no matter...

...who she was dating or even if she had been alone.

After several bumps in the road, so to speak, Harry has turned out to be a decent man.

[radical noodle]

22. This explains so much

While I don't follow the royals, I wondered what had happened for Harry to want out. I'd heard bits and pieces about racism but I still didn't quite get it. Now I do. I wish them every happiness.

[The Jungle 1]

23. What is truly disturbing is that so many folks still deny racism and systemic racism.

In this country the south was not punished for the Civil war. They continued with their racism like nothing occurred. They continue to celebrate the treason of the Civil war with flags and statues. The south still fights the civil war.
We allow them to do this!
In Germany the German people are not allowed to display ANYTHING referring to the nazi period. The German penal code prohibits publicly denying the Holocaust and disseminating Nazi propaganda!
We pat the south on the head and turn the other cheek.
That said the statues are starting to come down.
Understand what I have posted are facts. We must make it stop.

[iluvtennis]

25. +++ agree. n/t

[BComplex]

39. Good post!

So true!

[Ilsa]

26. I very much admire Harry for putting Meghan and his children first.

I think he's a pretty wonderful husband and I hope they find all the happiness they deserve in the US.

[Sogo]

27. Feeling much respect for Harry after watching this video.

I haven't followed their story much, and I found this to be very powerful.

[A HERETIC I AM]

28. Me too.

Feeling much respect for Harry after watching this video. I haven't followed their story much, and I found this to be very powerful.

Agreed 100%. That's exactly why I shared it.

[A HERETIC I AM]

32. Good. I'm glad this went to a jury who saw it for the hateful post it was.

Good riddance

[Wild blueberry]

31. Moving and powerful

Harry is growing into an authentic human being. All respect.
Thank you for posting this.

[Hekate]

34. Several with the same gossip about relatives: but have you heard Piers Morgan on Meghan?!

If the vile Piers is representative of his tabloid and broadcast class, Meghan was brutalized by them — just as Diana was.

[A HERETIC I AM]

35. It was actually Piers Morgan trending on my Twitter feed that brought me to this vid.

He is such a vile asshole. He's written a piece that appears on the SkyNews Australia website about them. As one person mentioned, it's as if Meghan indicated they won't be friends a million years ago and Morgan just can't get over it.

I'm by no means a "watcher" of the royal family, but the blatant racism against the two of them is what is so absurd to me.

[Treefrog]

36. Diana got in a car driven by a man zoned out on drugs and booze.

Her boyfriend was a millionaire partier who could easily have had dinner in their suite upstairs, never needing a car to go anywhere.

Diana had voluntarily dumped her British security force.

She got in the car with a drunk driving, who then drove at high speed, and she didn't wear her seat belt.

Tragic, but this story has been twisted.

The truth is out there and not in the least hard to find.

[Baltimike]

38. this. nt

[Baltimike]

37. Oh FFS. His mother died because she didn't have her seat belt on

and if the royal family is so fucking racist, why do they keep going back there?

Seriously.

And why so many provable, demonstrable LIES from her? There's a REASON the Obamas have distanced themselves from them.
