Most everyone has someone in their life that they really don’t like. Sometimes, there’s a good reason. Like a co worker who back stabbed you, or a relative who bad mouths you. I’m not a psychologist, but I’m sure that there are thousands of reasons why we dislike a certain person. Consequently, it seems they can’t do anything right. Sometimes, we’re the dislikee-or the person disliked. We may sense the hostility, or not realize that a certain person doesn’t wish us well. Nevertheless, you can rest assured that nothing you can do will change their mind. You can volunteer in Africa, or give a million dollars to their alma mater. Doesn’t matter. No matter what you do, their opinion of you will remain the same. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are a perfect example of this phenomenon. No matter where they go, someone is going to criticize them. They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
If they had stayed too long at the Queen’s platinum jubilee, they would have been accused of trying to steal the spotlight. However when they decided to leave early, the critics accused them of snubbing the Queen. They can’t win.
The Meghan haters declared from the git go that she was nothing but a gold digger. That seems pretty insulting to Prince Harry, who happens to be quite a hunk. To me, a gold digger is a young woman who marries an older unattractive man, simply because he’s rich. Harry is young, charming and personable. Therefore, I would imagine he could have attracted a pretty wife even without his royal title.
Apparently, the English consider Harry to be an ungrateful traitor to the crown. He was supposed to spend his life attending boring ceremonies and playing second fiddle to the future king, his brother William. What’s so terrible about deciding he didn’t want to do that? How many American men leave home at a certain age, and strike out on their own?
They said he trashed the monarchy with his Oprah interview. I can’t see where he trashed anyone. He didn’t criticize prince Charles for ruining his own mother’s life. Didn’t accuse anyone in the royal family of doing anything illegal or unsavory. He simply explained why he wanted to leave England and start a new life in America.
Right now, they are doing what any sensible people in that same position would do. Ignore the critics who can’t be pleased, and go on with their own lives. They’ve done the best they can. They aren’t hurting anyone. If English broadcaster Piers Morgan dislikes Harry and Meghan, it’s on him. Because they’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.
