Criticisms don't have to be statements of "you're not all white" or "you weren't born here" to be based on race or nationality. You're missing my point about how not growing up in a certain kind of setting is always in the background because the outsider doesn't have that same context.
If someone is already being perceived as an outsider, they're going to be more closely scrutinized, and what might be written off as mistakes or misunderstandings by others might be characterized as worse if that person does the same thing.
Kate has been criticized, yes, and I do recall some comments suggesting that her parents were "common" because they didn't have titles and their money was from running their company, not inherited. And she didn't grow up on an estate or go to a posh school. But she is white and she is British. So she has more cultural context in which to fit into the royals than Meghan does. That's not a criticism of Meghan, it's just a reality.
Why yes. But the point is that it the outsider is shown making an attempt to learn the culture and the ropes it can go a long way with people. Prince Phillip wasn’t British born.
Foreign royal marriages were common.
I am not saying there weren’t going to be growing pains but I am coming to a 1000 year old monarchy and I am going to be a disrupter really isn’t the best attitude to have.
It would have been better to quietly learn the culture and the ropes. And that was something she did have a responsibility to do in this case.
My thing is not everything is about Harry and Meghan for example there is the British people’s opinion about paying for security for non working royals and the attitudes could affect monarchy as a whole.
Which is financial plans shouldn’t have been published on websites before agreements
There is the fact that Harry’s grandfather is 98 and just got out of the hospital and Queen Elizabeth is getting 93 as well. Did they really need this public dispute.
And if they are going to be in Canada for months why not bring Archie to see his Great Grandparents.
Add in the threats now out there of tell all interview.
