We waited a day and half to get a response from the Queen. And what a response it was. The most gaslighting response ever written. If gaslighting was a person then Queen Elizabeth II would be that person. What the fuck is that response. It was cold and basically saying it was not worth her time but they forced her to write something.
Let’s read between the lines. The family doesn’t give a shit about Harry and Meghan especially the people releasing this statement. The Queen is just a puppet that’s not really in charge. But let’s pretend that she actually had a say in this statement. “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning” – Not really that concerning to us because we are the epitome of racists and we don’t deny it in this woke culture but the rest of the world is freaking out about it so we’ll say ‘concerning’. Then “while some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously”. I’m pretty sure she’s calling them liars and trying to throw doubt into the public perception so to say that they imagined this entire situation. Thirdly, “…will be addressed by the family privately” – so the institution isn’t accountable for anything and we are avoiding any responsibility to be forced to change our ways. The End… We are done talking about this and we are above the law and choosen by God to not give a fuck about you low-class (peasant) people.
But the institution and the Firm have enough energy to write a detailed response to the accusations against Meghan from THREE YEARS AGO but the complaints she made herself about the way she was being treated are ignored? Prince Andrew gets accused and there’s even an actual victim showing her face to say that he raped her but there’s no investigation, he gets to keep his security, titles, and financial support? I’m a firm believer of innocent until proven guilty so I’m not saying Andrew is guilty but I’m saying that the institution made no changes to the support they offer him even though the accusations are more severe. All Harry and Meghan ever wanted was equality. I will ask again why is Canada paying millions a year to the royal family so they can be the head of our state? Why are they still a monarch, they have no real power in terms of running any government in their commonwealth countries or their own country. Why are the British people still supporting them? I have been watching the news from Europe and the response is crazy. God Save the Queen!!! The Queen and her family give zero fucks about you guys. It may not seem like it now but I think Harry and Meghan have set the wheels in motion for the end of this empire. Oh, I guess I should say Diana was the first blow.
I have been consumed with this royal craziness for a week now and it’s time for me to get back to my normal schedule. My peanut gallery advice to Meghan and Harry is to move on. You have set things in motion but the Royal family won’t take you back and I assumed that you don’t want to go back. Heal the relationships with your brother and father but with boundaries because, at the end of the day, they will always be your family. You can have relationships with toxic family members, you just have to be cautious and keep them at an arm’s length ( some people will never change). Focus on your new life by doing good with your charities and building your own empire. The Royal family will only change when the people as a collective demand change. That’s my advice for everyone, really – We are the masters of our own destiny so we must learn to live our best life
I have an infinity for anything royal (I used to have )- the history of the British Empire and their literature. There’s something romantic and magical about it. Sometimes I think I could live in the Jane Austen universe but then I realize I would probably just be a slave that’s being raped by the white man (realistic and true). When I see royal gossip I eat it up. I love the fantasy of it all. I loved Princess Diana because she seemed flawed in a perfect way. This woman had her struggles and was human but she was kind and pure. I love people that are just honest about who they are and are not ashamed to show us their flaws. We will connect that way. Her life was a tragedy. Her legacy is her true essence – It still lives on and people still love the Queen of heart and she almost took down the British Firm (the royal family), if you believe the conspiracy theories about them killing her. That theory isn’t far-fetched. They have built their empire with blood money so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. They must protect their own at any cost. Blood is thicker than water. The press loved Diana because she was their people and a white woman and that’s why the British media treatment of her was better than Meghan Markle.
I’m a big fan of Suits but Meghan Markle was never my favorite character in that show. I loved Donna and Harvey. On a side note – I didn’t enjoy the ending very much because Harvey and Donna deserved better. Anyways, that how I was introduced to Meghan Markle and got more interested when she started to date Prince Harry and loved their story. As a mother of biracial children, you get excited to see representation of people like them out there in the world. I have also noticed a lot of commercials, tv shows, and movies are starting to be inclusive and representing the diversity in our multicultural world. There’s still a long way to go for Black, Asian, and other minorities to play the lead roles but we are slowly making our way.
Anyway – Let’s get to the topic at hand. There was an excitement about this American biracial woman that actually made it into the royal family. She wasn’t a mistress or an affair – She was a biracial girl marrying her Prince and we were celebrating love. Unfortunately, her white family came out of the woodwork trying to sabotage her and her Prince defended her was refreshing. One thing that never sat well with me was Prince Charles walking her down the aisle instead of her mother (patriarchy at its finest). I’m pretty sure she didn’t like that either but played the game trying to please her new family and to fit in. You could see all the side-eyes from the royal family and Camilla, I’m talking to you. You could still feel the disrespect in that joyous moment and the negative energy of those people having to suffer through the wedding ceremony of a biracial woman entering their lair. Yes, I don’t want to call her black because she is both races and I make a point, especially with my kids to embrace both races and not let society put them in a box. But there was the hope of a happy ending and the royal family entering into a new era and cleaning up their image. I should have known a family like that would never change the stripes. The British media made Megan’s life miserable and anything she did was wrong but if Kate did it, she got praised for it. I wasn’t surprised that they decided to leave. They called it the Meghan exit. She was blamed for everything. Everything. They never mentioned Harry or is part in anything.
Accountability and fairness don’t exist in that world. Is Harry so in love that he can’t think for himself, make decisions, or wipe his own ass? Where do I get that kind of potion of love? You are telling me a man that was raised in the firm that possesses so much power and is 5th in line to the throne is incapable of thinking for himself? He must be so weak to be manipulated that easily? We always blame the woman. It’s like the Brad Pitt and Angelina situation. She comes out as the bad guy? We are so fucked up has a society that we are always trying to save the man or boys that they get away with murder and the woman always bears the burden of everything. It goes back to the beginning of time. Adam and Eve got kicked out of the garden because she ate the apple and forced Adam to do it. Poor Adam!!!! These poor men!!! How are they surviving life? There’s so much much to unpack in this story. Racism, sexism, classism, patriarchal BS, imperialism, colonialism. We can have topics for days. There should be a class taught about the royal family. There probably is. I’d take that class.
When I heard that Megan and Harry were going to do an interview I was so excited for them to tell their truth. I hate when people say, “Why are they talking to the press, I thought they wanted a normal life?”. I think it’s essential so we can see the actual picture of why they left. I want to hear their side – So they can defend themselves. The Royal family is already on a smear campaign against them, by them I mean Meghan. They are protecting their own (Harry) and Prince Andrew. Secretly or not secretly they are hoping that Harry wakes up from his spell and comes back to them.
Let’s dive into this two-hour interview. I got all my snacks and my tea and ready for this hot delicious treat.
One of the revelations was Harry’s fractured relationship with his father Charles and how he cut him off financially and got more support from the 72 members of parliament than his own father. Let’s be honest that Prince Charles only cares about Camilla, himself, and being King. He doesn’t care about his children and never did. It doesn’t matter where you come from, a toxic family is a universal concept. Why would he care about a grandchild with a hint of black blood?
Secondly, they started a smear campaign about Meghan being a bully but in reality, they are the epitome of bullying. The invented bullying. I’m not surprised that Kate is a mean girl and the girl apologized in private but couldn’t help her sister -in law in public and let the media run off with a false narrative of character assassination against Meghan. I was also surprised that Meghan didn’t do her research before entering that family. That revelation was suspect to me. She is a smart, independent girl who didn’t research princess Diana? These people made their fortune with the blood of colonization. She is a girl that is super aware but didn’t use Google?
The biggest revelation (besides the racism) is Meghan talking about her suicidal thoughts.
I was expecting gossip and juicy dirt from this interview but all I came out with the royal family and their institution is racist AF. They built their empires with the blood of colonization… Should we be surprised? I just felt an overwhelming sadness. I just imagine Meghan was one of my daughters living in that world with the oldest family established and feeling trapped. Imagine Princess Diana a white woman that couldn’t survive that world and how hard it must’ve been for a biracial woman?
We learned that they basically got kicked out of the royal family. Apparently being a ‘spare’ instead of an ‘heir’ doesn’t guaranty you anything – You are expendable. She was literally set up for failure. The tabloid is working with the royal family. Archie didn’t get a title because he’s got some black blood in him even if his father is a Prince (Grandpapa would be a future King), he doesn’t get a title or security because of the color of his skin. They changed the law for him (WOW). All they wanted was support. They threw Meghan under the bus to make Kate look good when Kate was being the mean girl. There was a lot to unpack in the two hours.
This interview is heartbreaking on so many levels. The royal family is basically the hunger games – If you don’t play by their rules you shall be destroyed at any cost. If they can treat their own blood that way then imagine people that are not in their family. I have a theory that the institution is Prince Charles (Camilla) and Prince William and they are the people that talked about Archie’s skin color and refusing to let Meghan get help for her mental health. We all know now when Kate and William advocate for mental health it’s all bullshit because they refused to help their own family member. I’m surprised that William didn’t try to help his own brother after experiencing what that whole institution did to destroy his mother. I guess he’s become the system that he hated. The fairytale is actually a nightmare. I have to give it to Harry and Meghan for still trying to protect their family because I would literally have no loyalty to people that refuse to help me or my child. I wouldn’t consider them family. I can’t imagine going from being independent and working to being trapped all in the name of love and to serve the Queen. Meghan got lucky that Harry loved her enough to walk away from that prison to save their family. He doesn’t know anything besides being a royal. I wouldn’t be surprised if Camilla endorsed him being cut out financially and her nonroyal children are being taken care of by Prince Charles. Diana tried to tell us. Why are the British people still holding on to the royal family? They no longer represent the noble ideals they once did(the picture they sold us) – They’re becoming a toxic illustration of what’s wrong with society in the open now. Oprah made a good point by saying, “Who is controlling who?” about the Royal family and the tabloids. How can they host a yearly Christmas party for the people that are trashing their own family? Do the royal family and the tabloids actually have blood on their hands(Diana)? If this is what high class is, then I would rather be where I’m at in life. This is a cautionary tale to our daughters and especially to our black girls. We need to teach them to protect themselves, be independent, and never give up their identity and self-worth to fit a narrative. Yes, he may love you but you must learn to love yourself enough to be able to walk away when things are not in your best interest. Mental health and peace in your heart is better than all the money in the world.
I’m now just waiting for the Royal family’s response!
