To quote @vanity Fair “At a certain point, a hyperfixation on Meghan and Harry in the tabloids might be good for traffic, but it’s been terrible for them and fairly boring for the rest of us.”

@DM_Maureen_ for those of you who don’t know, is one of the UK tabloid #HateForHire writers who have made it their mission to dehumanize Meghan.
Your colleagues actions contributed to the demise of Princess Diana but we will not let that happen again. #StopUKMediaHarassment.

About a week ago @DM_Maureen_ was writing about ‘what could have been’ had Meghan attended the coronation. Instead of focusing on the crowing of a new King and Consort, Maureen was writing about Meghan who hadn’t done anything to warrant her attention.
This video clip of one of the Grenfell Tower women talking #Meghan asking her about her dreams is living rent-free in my head. She currently has a catering business, and she is also contributing to her community. #PrincessMeghan did this in 18 months.
When Meghan moved to the UK in 2017, her goal was to royal work. Prior to her wedding, she connected with the Grenfell Tower women and visited them for 9 months. The women, with the help of Meghan, published a cookbook to help open the Hubb Community Kitchen 7 days a week.
The UK media were unaware of Meghan and the Grenfell Tower women working together for 9 months. They were informed of the project on the day that the cookbook was published. The women are still benefiting from that project. That's how you make an impact.👏 😌 ✨️

Interesting observation by #meghan that their engagement interview was “orchestrated reality show”. I remember KP saying M had specifically picked BBC’s @MishalHusain & was very specific on what she would and wouldn’t say. As Mishal says “recollections may vary!”
I also remember Jason saying that Meghan only does what she wants to do & would never do something just because she felt she ought (this was in reply to me asking if it was Harry who had stopped her from engaging with the royal rota). She was never forced to do anything….
(Side note James Holt & @DavidOlusoga are brilliant and very perspective. Very interesting quotes from latter about slavery, British colonialism and our imperial history. But can I repeat until I’m hoarse, the Commonwealth (choice to join or leave) is not the British Empire!)
For those of you who have trouble with a chronological sequence of events regarding #Meghan's abuse, here you go👇 🧵
1. Just after 8 days of Harry and Meghan's dating being made public, the vitriolic began... don't believe it when the press say "she was welcomed"

2. Just after that, Prince Harry issued a press statement condemning the racist undertones of the reportages against his then Girlfriend Meghan
3. Seemingly angered for being told off, the gutter press piled on the hate which deserves a complete thread on its own...get ready to puke.....

Attenzione, da Buckingham Palace: "A seguito di un'ulteriore valutazione questa mattina, i medici della Regina sono preoccupati per la salute di Sua Maestà e le hanno raccomandato di rimanere sotto controllo medico. La regina resta a suo agio e a Balmoral".

Meghan on forgiving the Royals, Harry “losing” his father, her new podcast, and what about the ‘At-Home-With-The-Sussexes’ Netflix series?? (she doesn’t give anything away)

Meghan said if she had stayed in the Royal Family, she’d have 40 photographers taking pictures when she did Archie’s school run.
But not what happens: William & Kate take and pick up George/Charlotte without any cameras.

The only time cameras allowed for school run is on the first day at school. The only 2 cameras are permitted (one TV, one photo) who agree to share footage with other broadcasters and publications.
Is simply wrong for #meghan to claim there would be “40 people snapping pictures”

Short thread on #Meghan’s new podcast #Archetypes. Sure waspish columnists are at work & there’s plenty of soft underbelly to attack. BUT there’s genuine news value to her interview with @serenawilliams not least that #Harry & SW conferred on leaving the only lives they knew 1/?
The concept of Meghan’s series, examining & words & stereotypes deployed against women, is solid. (Says the co-founder of @PrimadonnaFest… why waste a great word when you can reclaim it?) And her first episode tackles a word all too often thrown at women as an insult: *ambition*
Here’s a classic example of a woman being damned for ambition: “The previously compassionate creature was becoming a woman of strong opinions and bigger ambitions.” But which author wrote this phrase, more revealing of biographer than subject? And about whom? Well…
A thread … and my final say on the subject before I go back to cleaning my house and laughing as I scroll by the #PrinceOfPegging hashtag! 😂

2/ it becomes public fodder when you deliberately set yourself (and your, widely reported, “lazy” wife!) to be paragons of virtue at the expense of your only brother & his, widely reported, successful wife! … lifeandstylemag.com/posts/kate-mid…
3/ Over the past 6 years, Kate has been canonised & William applauded as ‘the great white hope’ for the future of the Monarchy! Nothing wrong with any of that if that’s what you believe but to destroy & denigrate another human being, using your access to the horrific British ..
#MeghanMarkle worked in an industry (Hollywood) known for leaks to the media & there were no complaints of bullying or bad behaviour.
Meghan worked on the drama series Suits for 7 years & no one had anything negative to say about her.

Two things in yesterday's Twitter feed cheered me up no end. Marcus Rashford's engagement (I know, late to the game, but just happy for the happiness of an excellent lad) & the public cheers for Harry & #Meghan. Yes, not world politics. Stay with me.

We all know that Meghan has been receiving disproportionate negative coverage - the distortions, lies, and libel are obvious, and evidenced - as in this comparison with coverage of Kate:

This reminded me of a video by German YouTuber Rezo on Germany's yellow press.
In January, he showed & commented on a video by YouTuber Rob Bubble who read 20 of over 200 German yellow press magazines for a whole year.

When Prince Harry released his statement in 2019, he talks about their inability to correct media misrepresentation & the press took advantage of this to continue to smear Duchess Meghan

You can read the full #Meghan judgment here: bailii.org/cgi-bin/format…) But here is a thread of extracts.
'The extensive new evidence seems to have been more directed at correcting allegations raised in the pleadings than at issues relevant to the question at hand, namely whether the judge should have granted summary judgment in this case.'
'The fact that the Duchess permitted her staff to meet with the authors [of the book Finding Freedom] … was of no consequence to what he [Lord Justice Warby, the judge in the lower court] had to decide.'
The Mail's tactic in the #meghan case was always to pretend, in public, that it was the Duchess who was on trial. She never was. It was the Mail that was required to defend what it had done, and it simply could not. 1/5
She has won resoundingly at every stage. A High Court judge who the Mail almost certainly believed would be sympathy to its case gave victory to the Duchess in February without even holding a trial... 2/5
... and now three very senior judges at the Court of Appeal have thrown out the Mail's case again. To add insult to injury they said that yes, the Mail could have its 'new evidence', but then they explained that the new evidence changed nothing. 3/5

1/ THREAD: #Meghan's and #Harry's Interview w/ #Oprah — Body Language — Image No. 3: As Meghan said, "That's a really loaded piece of toast!" (In response to public criticism regarding her consumption of avocados), Meghan laughed sincerely.

2/ An often overlooked component of both sincere smiling and sincere laughter is jaw retraction. Meghan's mandible is pulled backward slightly here (although for many of us, it sometimes is retracted significantly more).

The effect of the Pseud Prayer is amplified when used in a vertical hand-chopping dynamic.

The @royallfamily - a history of racism.
A thread....
Firstly, the royals of yesteryear were absolute central to legitimising slavery.

Firstly, the royals of yesteryear were absolute central to legitimising slavery.
They invested in it, sanctioned it. The Royal African Company of England - 'shipped more enslaved African women, men, and children to the Americas than any other single institution during the entire period of the transatlantic slave trade
You may think this unfair on the current bunch, but the monarchy is always keen to stress bloodlines & their hereditary power. Some of that wealth and power is from slaving.
Unlike other institutions, there has been no apology or acknowledgement.

1/. Ten years ago, when William got engaged to Kate - a Commoner - I wrote this piece about how wall-to-wall fawning media coverage of this so-called ‘Cinderella Story’ exposed the fact that Britain remained a deeply class-ridden & deeply sexist society.

2/ Like Cinderella, this modern romance was also rife with negative gender stereotyping & ugly class prejudice
Britons it seem, aspire to upward mobility but despise themselves & are despised for it
@AJEnglish saw the article & signed me up as their Royal Wedding correspondent

3/. The arrival of #MeghanMarkle exposed further deep-seated class & racial prejudices that run deep within our society
So deep that it’s far easier - & more fun - to kick against a scapegoat rather than acknowledge the prejudices & start unpacking them.

En la entrevista #OprahMeghanHarry, @Oprah le dice a Megan: "Recuerdo estar sentada en la capilla ... y recuerdo tanto el sentido de la magia que nunca había experimentado algo así. Cuando bajaste a la isla fue como si estuvieras flotando".
#Meghan asegura que la pareja sabía que el momento de su boda "no era suyo", si no para todos los demás.
Dice que "ingenuamente" nunca pensó en cómo sería casarse con un príncipe. No entender completamente cuál era el trabajo. “¿Qué significa ser miembro de la realeza?
