In spite of showing a horribly edited soap of a dysfunctional high-cost no-value-adding family: there are curious confirmations of all that is wrong with the British as a society, state and institution. Meghan is no Diana, and yet, royals will find her more difficult to put down.

Meghan has the advantage of going through the 24 years since Diana, which has seen unprecedented sharpening of the tools and tactics of grievance politics& its amusing to see her ticking all the politically correct tropes: race, gender, institutional bias and discrimination.

Harry&Meghan's whine about having to repress "personal emotions/state of mind" and pose smilingly to play public roles is spoiled brat whine: millions of people perform for "show must go on", from teachers&performing artists to public officials regardless of any "state of mind".

A racial/colour based bias is to be expected in a British institution which tries to be as independent of societal fluctuations as feasible&hold on to the feudal continuity from medieval/colonial at its core. Both Harry&Meghan knew this when she went in. At least they let her in.

"Queen's" reaction can't be the issue, she's always shown a pattern of selective application of "principles" and biases as per convenience: one set for her sister and the reverse for her daughter- for example. As with most powerful mother-in-laws, she has daughter-in-law problems

What is most fun for me is that I see the British press proving at heart to be like Indian tabloids: either accusing the evil bahu who tore the dear sonny away from the bosom of his parent or dissing the privileged, patriarchal in-laws persecuting the silently suffering bahurani.

A super-massive-land-owning landlord family, sitting over the stolen& looted wealth& artifacts of other civilizations, using public funds, zero productive contribution to economy, reminder of colonial obnoxiousness: we shd be spared this enforced watching of petty family violence
