Meghan Markle would be loved if Diana was still with us.

If you have not seen the interview Oprah did with Meghan Markle, you’re going to want to watch it. I personally do not understand the whole “rOyAlS” things like we are still living in the 1800s, but I did understand how terribly they treated Meghan.

The irony in it all is that the similarities between the treatment of Princess Diana and Meghan are way too similar, it is as if its fate.

Starting off with who Princess Diana was, which I doubt you don’t not know, but anyways.

Princess Diana was born into the British royalty and grew up close to the royal family. Her parents John Spencer and Frances Kydd both divorced in 1967 and this deeply affected Diana. Diana lived with her mother during the time of the divorce. Shortly after this John Spencer won custody of Diana and she moved in with her father and mother-in-law. It should be noted Diana describes her stepmother as a bully. She describes her childhood as unhappy, always having nannies and very unstable.

Although coming from British nobility Diana worked many part-time jobs when she shared a flat in London with two of her friends. One of her last jobs before she married Prince Charles was as a nursery school assistant.

Charles first met Diana when she was 16 years old, which talk about white van kind of guy. Despite the 12-year age gap, Charles was fond of Diana because she was different and made a lot of noise and he appreciated that. In the press Charles was known as a playboy and he got around let me tell you. The royal family wanting to end that spectacle, liked Diana as a choice for Charles as she was a pure girl with no news breaking past behind her

On February 6th, 1981 he asked Diana to marry him, shocked even on how she said yes so fast with all the duties that would soon be put at her shoulders. Their marriage was the first ever royal family wedding which was broadcasted. Although being a fairy tale story any girl would hope for this was not entirely the case for Diana.

Just like Meghan, Diana was loved by people but still heavily criticized behind closed doors. As a royal family you imagine they have so many rules and traditions you must follow however, Diana did not shy away from not following those rules.

Diana would be seen out showing her shoulders, wearing black, dark colours on her nails and everything in which a royal was advised against doing, she did. Diana also broke many rules with having her kids attend public school and do fun things that a non-royal would do.

Now onto the subject of Meghan Markle it is not shocking to me, all the things in which happened behind closed doors. It does not shock me because she would be one of the first mixed races marrying into a what is a white cult to me.

Meghan while being a “commoner” comes from a well-educated background on top of her acting career. Meghan grew up mostly with her mother as her parents divorced when she was younger.

Growing up Meghan was always involved in women’s rights and very much believed in equality. When she was 11 years old, she wrote a letter to Procter and Gamble to gender neutralize a dish washing soap commercial that ran on TV, after she wrote the letter, they listened to her and changed the commercial.

Meghan earned her bachelor’s degree with a double major in theater and international studies from Northwestern’s School of Communication. Now onto her acting it was not always simple. Having lighter skin she had difficulties getting roles because she was either “not black enough for black ones, or not white enough for white ones.”

So, to support herself during her acting gigs she worked as a freelance calligrapher and taught bookbinding. She landed her first on screen role as a nurse on General Hospital from then on, she made a series of appearances like on CSI: NY, Get him to the Greek, Horrible bosses and more. Meghan’s first major role was on the hit series Suits which, great show by the way. She played Rachel Zane who worked as a paralegal and eventually becoming an attorney on the show.

Now onto the tea that was split (no British joke intended here).

Meghan and Harry began their relationship in June of 2016, in which they were both introduced by a mutual friend. Their engagement was announced on November 27th, 2017 by Harry’s father. The announcement of their engagement was huge, and it received lots of positive feedback and a picture of Meghan sitting in front of the palace when she was younger, went viral as it was the perfect fairy tale story or was it.

Although receiving lots of positive feedback from the world and people loving her, the UK press were a bunch of hyenas just scavenging for whatever they could say.

Most people are aware of how crazy the UK press is, and I am sure Prince Harry knew that well, but Meghan didn’t. In the interview she tells Oprah she had never even googled the guy which I find hard to believe, come on its prince fricken harry. She also might have said this to not seem like a gold digger which, understandable.

The interview itself was up for interpretation because you can tell they didn’t want to reveal too much, probably in fear of what could happen.

Although becoming a part of the commonwealth which is diverse and the palace having mental health campaigns and charities, they did not give a breath of their voice to help Meghan.

They were always told to say “no comment” to any question, Meghan admitted to Oprah that she was silenced. And while the media was just ripping her mental health apart there was nothing she could do or say. She would receive phone calls from friends who were extremely concerned about the words that were being said, but there was nothing she could do.

And to her bad luck, she was in the press daily, even being harassed for just HOLDING HER BABY BUMP?? Which is insane and not only misogynistic, because you have to hate women to write that, but also lies in with the hidden racism because those same comments were not made about Kate Middleton when she was photographed, doing the same thing. And all of these things prevented her to eat lunch with a friend or go outside because “she was being talked about too much already.”

That’s a funny statement because then, why did nobody try to stop it? As there’s this secret agreement between the palace and the press, why was nothing done to help this poor pregnant woman.

During her pregnancy she struggled with depression having thoughts of suicide to the point she forced herself to attend an event because she told Harry, she was afraid of what she might do if she was left alone. That is heartbreaking, and the fact that she couldn’t do anything and was not being protected.

And then the worst of it all, discussing Archie’s skin tone.

My god! could you imagine If she was actually dark skinned, they would’ve never even let her walk through the door. Meghan told Oprah that there were several, not one, several, conversations of the concern of his skin tone. And if that meant he would get a title or protection. Prince Harry later revealed to Oprah that those comments were not made by either the queen or his grandfather. I don’t think the royal family had ANY idea of how genetics work, and this crazy thing called recessive genes, maybe you’ve heard of it.

The whole interview was heartbreaking to hear but I am sure Meghan was able to get some weight off her chest and at least able to say her piece freely and happily. If you have still not watched the interview I highly recommend watching because I am sure Meghan would love more and more support, she can receive.

And it is without a doubt, Diana is watching over Meghan
