In reply to the discussion: If you don't think there's a double standard in how Duchess of Sussex has been treated ... [View all]TNNurse
(6,926 posts)11. I really have no dog in this fight
but it is easy to find blatant examples of racism toward Duchess Meghan.
In addition, Harry has been very clear that the obsession by the tabloid press caused his mother's death.
So racism and physical danger seem pretty big motivators to make some changes.
In addition, Harry is pretty far down the line of succession, so this should not be such a big deal.
Should he have talked it over with his father and grandmother first as part of a process....well, yes. Any family would expect that kind
of involvement over such a big change.
But again, I am not British, so my opinion is just that...mine.

If a person doesn't think there's a difference, they're being willfully obtuse.

I'm not surprised given that the Royals represent generations of extreme white privilege.

I would have to care about either the Royal Family or Meghan Markle to be troubled...
