A balanced view. In my view the press have a lot to answer for, but it will be a long time before we see a true investigation of the racist coverage of Meghan. The book has stirred up so many reactions that it is impossible to see how any good can come of it. Harry and Meghan have been...

I agree that the fact that H and M haven't denounced the book or sued means nothing. What does mean something is the apparent (reported) level of inside information in the book. People talked. Palace insiders probably talked. Close friends certainly talked. Either Meghan and Harry's friends...

In my opinion, if there is any truth at all to the necklace story, it doesn’t reflect well on Meghan. If I were a mature woman and I received a call like that from my fiancé’s advisors, I would give it a moment’s consideration, talk to my fiancé and then decide to either take or ignore the...

No one, especially the press, should ever comment on a person's weight. It is particularly dangerous to comment about young women, as that is one route to an eating disorder.

I think Meghan tapped into Harry's longstanding anger (rightly or wrongly) at the royal establishment, and maybe even at his father for reasons he (rightly or wrongly) related to his mother. I don't lay all of this mess at Meghan's feet.That being said, this book (it's obvious that they actively...

There are two kinds of strokes--thrombotic (due to a clot) and hemorrhagic (due to bleeding, for example, from a leaking or ruptured aneurysm).

This is very possible. Lainey has been very vocal about the subtle and not-so-subtle racism in press coverage of Meghan. That's a good thing, but in my read of her columns she hasn't been too shy about implying that most of the BRF is racist too. She has publicly stated however that she does not...

Me too. It will be interesting to see how they play this. I really think that H and M are making some rather poor decisions about their relationships with the press. The drone/ privacy issue is one thing—who wouldn’t want to protect their child— but (at the very least) tacit cooperation with...

Er--not really.

This. Further, everything we have seen and heard about Catherine demonstrates that she is a mature, thoughtful person. The idea of a W & K conspiracy is ridiculous.

That is very very telling. It sounds exactly like the author is carefully choosing their words. In my view, given this quote, it is very likely that they gave tacit agreement for the book to be written and published.

In my opinion the dress was stunning and the alterations impeccable. It fit her beautifully and she looked beautiful in it.

I agree. If PTSD is part of what makes Harry tick, recovery is a long road. In Harry's mind, fighting back against the press may help him feel more in control of his life. Of course I have no knowledge whether that is the case. I would think that starting legal proceedings was a step not taken...

I wonder if (in the phone conversation) Harry is emphasizing his own psychological boundaries: this is essential for good mental health. That being said, the words, "We operate in a way of inclusivity and we are focusing on community. And so we are completely separate from the majority of my...

I agree about the courtiers. However, I think we need to be cautious about interpreting the behaviour of the Cambridges. That being said, I wouldn't blame Catherine if she felt annoyed with Harry and Meghan. Their departure has left her and William with a heavy burden. As far as the...

The lack of diversity is obvious when one looks at the nominees and winners. It is a fact. It is a criticism being levelled at many entertainment awards organizations. I suspect BAFTA execs knew what William was going to say.

Sussex Royal Trademark https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-prince-harry-and-meghan-face-sussex-royal-trademark-challenges/ Things may not go so easily for them in terms of their "trademark". The article doesn't reveal much about the motivation for the challenge but it may hold...

The Canadian government has not said that it will pay for their security. All the PM said is that he had not had a conversation with the Queen about it. Some are stirring this pot for political reasons, not because of they care or do not care about Meghan and Harry. I wish people would "keep...

I would be very surprised if Canada is a permanent option. Meghan clearly has friends here, so I understand why it is a good temporary solution. There would be no residency/citizenship issues in the US. Of course, we don't really know what their plans are. Harry's speech was very good--some...

While I do not know what agreements were made, I do not understand why they wouldn't be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (like TRH the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, etc. except without the Royal Highness). Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, sounds as if she were divorced from Harry. They don't...

It's very clear: Harry and Meghan are part of the Queen's family. They are still "Royal Highnesses" but they will not use these titles. They will not work for the Queen. They will spend most of their time in North America. They seem to have agreed to do work that would not be in conflict with...

In my view, the fact that Meghan visits local agencies is not problematic in and of itself--one could say she is continuing to demonstrate a commitment to social justice issues. I am surprised, however that pictures were taken and published. Meghan may or may not have known. When taken in the...

Not for a minute do I think they will stay in Canada for any length of time-a few years at most. Vancouver Island is beautiful, and west coast weather is relatively benign, (there are earthquakes, however) but I think they will head for the US when it is financially and personally expedient.

It's great that Meghan is finding charities that interest her in BC. I hate being critical of her, because I do think she has been subjected to unfair media criticism over the months and years. In my view, however, this kind of thing exposes her to more criticism. If she really wants to connect...

'She was really great': Meghan Markle visits women's shelter on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside Meghan visited a women's shelter in Vancouver's downtown east side (one of the poorest neighbourhoods in all of Canada) yesterday. There is a photo. While her interest in women's issues has been...
