The Guardian says Harry and Meghan were meant to embody post-racial Britain. So much for that. 

“Everything that could have predicted the pair’s joint decision to step back as senior royals can be directly traced back through all the sensationalist and derogate headlines written about Markle,” the paper says. And to Harry’s credit – he’s been by her side through it all.  

Princess Diana’s death was something nether Harry or William ever truly recovered from – and this week he’s fought to protect his wife and child falling victim to the trauma of his own childhood. 

It didn’t take long for the tabloids to start their onslaught of the couple. According to the paper, reflecting on the unfortunate series of events that have unfolded around Markle, there’s a lot to learn about the current state of racism in this country. 

CNN asks why Meghan gets all the blame. They say the couple’s decision to step back as senior royals and work to become financially independent is just a young modern couple looking to “build a life together on their own terms. Right?” 

Not according to the British tabloids. They have put all the “blame” on Meghan – dubbed “Megxit”. But its no surprise, they blamed her for everything that has gone royally wrong since she stepped into the firm. 

It’s Meghan’s fault Harry and William have drifted apart. She has been blamed for failing to get on with Kate Middleton. And according to the tabloids, Harry has ditched his old friends and become “more private and withdrawn” to spend more time with her “Hollywood friends.” Now she’s being blamed for the move to Canada, with the press calling the move selfish. 

CNN says right from the beginning the press has belittled and blasted her, with her race being a huge factor. 

The Atlantic slams Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back and claims the couple have committed Britain’s greatest sin. 

The paper claims hypocrisy and says Harry and Meghan are “having their cake and eating it”. How can they step back from their senior positions and still fully support the Queen as their statement claimed? 

What is it that they are asking for? They told us that they have “chosen to make a transition” and will “carve out a progressive new role” within the “institution.” That institution is the monarchy – the system of inheriting authority, titles, wealth, land and property. They will still be a Duke and Duchess – not your classic progressive positions. 

The couple wants to remain in the royal family, keep their titles, houses etc but step back from the duties that come attached to these privileges. 

New York Post says the royal couple will find life harder as non-royals.

They say like all people in the public eye Meghan and Harry see the media coverage as intrusive and in their case racist and disrespectful to their cool global ambassadors of woke. 

The publication says the couple envision themselves as having full control over their image, but it’s not going to happen. If anything, within the royal embrace, media coverage is bubble-wrapped. In the cold cruel world of ordinary celebrity, anything goes. There is no “Royal Rota” agreement and every paparazzo is out for themselves. 

The Royals are just about the only people who can enforce any limits whatsoever on their coverage – partly due to Princess Diana’s death and because of respect to the Crown.
