Yet again more thoughts swirling around my head from this absolute sh*t show.
1) People saying that it doesn't matter William saying the royal family aren't racist as their history says differently. Well if history is what matters then everyone is still racist so why are we bothering to change? Now I am not saying for a fact there are no racist members of the family but then again they are that a family. There are many out there that can say as a family we aren't racist, well if you ignore Uncle Terry over there. One or two family members do not make them as a whole racist.
2)I am also not going to say she did not suffer from some sort of mental health issue, however I do not believe she was not permitted to seek help. Also I do find that she has a certain knack for when to say her truths. She may not always lie as some think but she certainly has a way with when to speak and have maximum impact. I do find it extremely distasteful for her to bang on about her own mental health right now. We are facing a mental health crisis due to under funded services to begin with and now after covid and lockdown, it's a disaster. She has access to more support than many of them. How many have lost jobs, had strain put on their relationship, struggled to put food on the table etc and are joining the ever expanding queue of people for NHS mental health services. She will no doubt be able to get help privately after all.
3) She is making out this whole thing has been awful for her. Well I don't think she was even close to being on the all mighty Oprahs radar pre royal wedding. She has had one long term acting job, in a show that yes has many fans but it's hardly friends or game of thrones where even if you don't watch it you have heard something of/from it. Even if she had continued on in that show and then got another role of note in a few things her fame would still not be where it is now from a couple of years in this marriage. This marriage has put her out there in a way her acting career just never would have.
So really it has not been a bed of roses, but that makes me think of that interview I think in Africa where she was all its not enough to survive you have to be able to thrive. Well yes in an ideal world, unfortunately there are people out there where life is all about survival. Life is not a fairytale or all happy and peaceful. It can be hard, and dark, and cruel, so you must appreciate the good times. Let's say she is truthful about everything and she had an awful experience, well apparently life is much better now so just enjoy it and don't make everything about the past. Also in the long run she is coming out of this better off than before, she has a husband she apparently loves deeply, and two children, not to mention a platform for her future work etc.
Overall I find her timing of speaking out almost worse than what she is saying, people will believe her or not but the people that do almost seem to forget about everyone else. Let's say she was racially discriminated against, she's not the only one, let's say she suffered badly with mental health, she is not the only one. She is not more important than any other POC or individual with mental health issues based on who she shares her bed with.
