Would someone enlighten me as to why there is so much antipathy toward Meghan? I'm not a royal watcher, so I don't understand it. Did she do something awful? Is it because she is divorced, or of mixed race? I'm not trying to be a smartass, but I just don't understand.
It does seem odd.Would someone enlighten me as to why there is so much antipathy toward Meghan? I'm not a royal watcher, so I don't understand it. Did she do something awful? Is it because she is divorced, or of mixed race? I'm not trying to be a smartass, but I just don't understand.

It could be a mixture of all of them. But, mainly, it's the fact that royals are supposed to follow all the protocols and Meghan defied all of them, she seemed resolute in changing all the rules and do things her way. The royals have to follow lots of rules, many of them silly, but that's the way it is and she knew about them, Harry was constantly telling her what to do or how to do it. One, small example of her refusal to follow the rules is her public display of affection, okay in normal life but the royals are not supposed to do it. Also, there were stories about how badly she treated the help, many quit on her or she fired them.Would someone enlighten me as to why there is so much antipathy toward Meghan?

I've heard she uses it for signaling. However she places it has a meaning like "get me away from this person" or whatever. But I agree, it does look so awkward and out of place at times.I have a different question altogether: What's with the queen dragging her purse everywhere she goes, particularly within the palace itself? Perhaps she needs change for vending machines scattered throughout the place - gotta satisfy the urge for a Snickers break now and again? Maybe she can't figure out how to put a tube of lipstick in every bathroom vanity in case of a touch-up emergency? What the heck?
Even on the Netflix show, "The Crown", which is presumably very accurate about those kinds of details, even in her early 20s she's hung on to her purse like the crown jewels themselves are inside.
Strikes me as very odd. Odder still, she's got it firmly on her arm in the official photo displayed in this thread.
I've heard a lot of good opinions about The Crown, I'm going to have to watch it. I'm always disappointed how films always fiddle with the facts, and you and other reviewers have said it's pretty accurate.I have a different question altogether: What's with the queen dragging her purse everywhere she goes, particularly within the palace itself?

I hated it I could find fault in everything .I've heard a lot of good opinions about The Crown, I'm going to have to watch it. I'm always disappointed how films always fiddle with the facts, and you and other reviewers have said it's pretty accurate.
I didn't pay attention to the purse, but her outfits and hats are all the same style mostly, just different fabrics and colors. I always wondered why such a conservative woman wore those loud colors, and have recently read it's so that she can be seen also by people far away in the crowds.
This is interesting!When the Monarch dies, succession goes to the oldest
living child, it used to be son, but that has changed, so
that statement really means that it should go to Princess
Anne, if Prince Charles dies before the Queen, it cannot
go to Prince William as he will not be in line as his father
never had the Monarchy to pass on!
That is why I said in may previous post "unless there has
been a change", of the Rules/Laws about succession or
lineage, that is how it is.

I thought that too since they changed the rules about daughters inheriting the crown after Elizabeth II became the queen. But I read recently that in William's children's case, Charlotte will only become queen if her two brothers are not available for some reason or dead. So, the gender bias is still there.When the Monarch dies, succession goes to the oldest
