If anything I think a lot of people were excitied to have someone different to the rest of the royal family join them. I was really pleased, I thought it would be nice for BEM see someone similar to them represent them abroad etc.
It was only at the wedding when all the 'A' listers rather than scorned friends and family were invited I had misgivings.
Angry that genuine annoyance at the pair of them is cast in this light.
This is the thing I’ve never got about the whole narrative of the English/British hating Meghan - we
dislike her because of her race. That’s not true! Ok you’re going to have some people that will, but unfortunately there will always be idiots like that. But I think the vast majority had absolutely no problems with her being mixed race. Hell, if Harry married a very dark skin girl, I reckon we still wouldn’t be annoyed (another excuse is that we only tolerate Meghan because she’s light skinned).
I also had no problems with her being American or divorced.
If Meghan had come to the table and was willing to learn about our cultures and customs, willing to do the boring, unglamorous work, and tried her best to be an asset to the BRF and the country, I would have been so happy. Finally, someone different, someone who can relate to so many more people, who can be a voice for the BAME community, it would have been bloody fantastic.
But she wasn’t and now she never will.
That’s what has angered us.
