COMMENT - A NAZI UNIFORM AND BLOOD EARRINGS AND THE PRESS
There are many reasons to criticize Meghan and Harry for
what they have done in their self-indulgent and destructive television
interview.
But perhaps none is more telling than the fact that the Queen is nearly 95 years old and Prince Philip is 100 and quite ill.
It is widely recognized, no matter what you may think of monarchy, that the Queen has served well and honorably. She commands great respect, and not just because of her title.
What kind of people deliberately create immense stress for two such aged and venerable figures?
Utterly thoughtless and unpleasant ones, for sure.
Just pure poison from a woman who could not handle the responsibilities she voluntarily assumed and, I am sure, was extremely closely advised of. She earned a reputation right from the start as a demanding, raging person in private. And a lot of that came from servants, not big shots. What kind of a person abuses servants? And later makes toxic excuses against others for the reputation she has earned?
As for Harry, he has a long track record of not just bad judgment, but genuinely unbalanced behavior, from demanding to be sent to Afghanistan in the Army and afterward bragging about killing a man there to once wearing a set of custom-made pajamas designed to resemble a Nazi officer’s uniform at a cocktail party (see the third photo here: https://www.rt.com/uk/517524-piers-morgan-skeptical-meghan-markle/ ).
Some judgment, but if you look back at the Spencer family, his maternal line, going back to the 18th century, you will find a good deal of that sort of thing.
The couple well suit each other, but it would demonstrate a little class – and people pretending to royalty are supposed to demonstrate class if nothing else – to keep these self-serving stories to themselves.
By the way, here is a superb example of Meghan’s grotesque lack of judgment.
Meghan was given a wedding gift of earrings by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, certainly one of the world’s bloodiest tyrants.
Despite warnings from others about their source, she proudly wore them at a State Dinner three weeks after Jamal Khashoggi’s grisly murder on orders from the Crown Prince. She still has them. There are many photos of her wearing them.
They are dazzling long dangles of diamonds.
Some effort toward making the world a better place, as she pretentiously likes to talk about doing in her self-promotional publicity, and just another example of stunningly bad judgment.
I wonder just whose ears the Crown Prince had them ripped from?
