Harry and Megan

[Macca37]

True, but Meghan, by virtue of her age, smarts, physical attributes, choice of partner, good works and developing media clout, has far greater potential to influence younger folk and women.  It’s that potential that has galvanised opposition to her among those who feel threatened; the Royals, elements of the media, the establishments, and people of influence; generally older, white men.

If Harry was going solo with this, I suspect that there would far less opposition and very little of the snide and offensive commentary.

I agree with you. After several visits on business to England between 2010 and 2018 I became quite aware that elements of xenophobia and racial superiority were very close to the surface among the people we met.  When you add in Meghan's colour , she was in for a hiding from the media at the first opportunity.
