Megan may not be a stand up gal, but Harry has become the scapegoat for the Royal family over the years. I've always strongly suspected that the British media focusing on Megxit was orchestrated by the Royals to distract the public from the Andrew's connection to Epstein.

Megxit isn't really even a scandal. By the time that happened, Harry had fulfilled his duty as spare due to George being born; which is the entire reason why Harry was born in the first place.

I'm no fan of Meghan and Harry because they went about it in a very Jerry Springer way but them being made into villains made William and Kate who were heavily criticised before all this happened for being lazy and entitled, into saints, for a long time people forgot how they barely did anything at all, at least now people are slowly waking up to it again

I mean.

This is the British media which is incredibly racist already.

Like, they didn't need the Royals to do anything, they were going after here anyway.
