I am in the surprising position of siding more with Piers Morgan than with Meghan Markle over her interview. Before I watched it, I was not, and was a lot more sympathetic to her. Issues like the way her father has cashed in to berate her in public disgust me, not just the father for doing so, but the way some of what has been said has been manipulated to frame her in a worse light. But since watching it, I have changed.
There is a difference in how Harry came across in his interview on the bus about what happened. He talked about the appalling way that elements of the media treated his wife, he talked about how this affected his mental health. Of course, with Meghan being pregnant, she is not able to go on an assault course, or be taken to the house of the Prince of Bel Air.
There is always going to be an issue about who has said what and how it was said. The issue of who made who cry is going to be a matter of perception. There are ways to ask about the skin colour of a baby which are innocent, and there are ways to ask which are racist, and I can see how she will take offence when hearing about the comment. But the facts are that Archie has not been discriminated against when it came to being called a prince based on his skin colour.
I do not agree with everything that Piers Morgan has said, but I am not going to trust someone in an interview who has got an issue about royal titles wrong. Saying that, while wrong, I understand that Meghan Markle will have issues about joining the Royal Family when so many elements of the press have been so cruel about her.
The sad thing is that now, people are focusing on her insinuation of racism from a member of the Royal Family rather than ignoring how she was so harshly judged on the same matters where her sister-in-law was praised.
